Forgotten Football Grounds | Plough Lane
Tonight I bring you another forgotten Football Ground video, this time it is Plough Lane, the former home ground of Wimbledon FC from 1912-1998. The club had a rapid rise from non league football to the top division and won the 1988 FA Cup. The club were known by many as the Crazy Gang or the Wombles.

I went to Wimbledon home games regularly at Plough Lane as a boy in the mid/late 1980s in the first season or two Wimbledon were in what is now the Premier League. Seeing giants of the time like Liverpool and Everton playing there, and such teams' famous players at close hand, was surreal. Several of the Wimbledon players of that era went onto big moves to bigger clubs (e.g. Winterburn, Beasant, Wise, Thorne, Scales).

Sam Hammam withdrew the planning application, once he heard that it would receive cross party approval.
What accent you got there bud ? Hearing a geordie/ north east accent but with a bit of scouse or american thrown in. Not trying to offend. Are you maybe from the North east originally but have been living elsewhere for a while ?

I think they had no choice but to leave due to the Taylor Report. It is good to see AFC are back playing at the new Plough Lane though.

One thing they're missing by the return to Plough Lane is the excellent 'Fat Boy's Cafe' adjacent to Kingsmeadow. Up The Gas!
