AFC Wimbledon represent the reformation of an historic London football club, who’s incredible tradition and reputation famously beating Liverpool in the FA cup final in 1988. AFC Wimbledon and Plough Lane were a staple of London football until the 1991 Taylor Report forced the club to move to Selhurst Park.
In 2002, the club was moved to Milton Keynes, the first move of its kind in English football, ripping the heart out of the community.
AFC Wimbledon supporters responded in 2002 forming their own Phoenix club. Over the years AFC Wimbledon rose the divisions, and is now on par with MK Dons in League one. This year, after years of funding, the mighty AFC Wimbledon have returned to Plough Lane, bringing this historic club back to its natural home after over 20 years.

As an 1860 Munich fan I know that feeling of "homeless" as a football fan. Even though my first game was at the Allianz Arena it still felt wrong in the following years cause having 18000-20000 in a 70000 capacity Stadium is just depressing. When we got relegated from the 2nd to the 4th tier cause of financial problems, we returned to the Grünwalder Stadion in 2017/18 for the first time in over a decade. And even though I've only had visited the ground for a few times before it was so clear to me that this ground was our home. I feel the proud of coming home every time I walk up the stairs to the stands and I can't imagine myself watching my club play somewhere else.

@stefanschwalenberg8320 3 года назад

What a brilliant documentary. I'm a Wolves fan, but I felt so bad for Wimbledon's supporters when their club was stolen from them - getting the 'new' team back into the Football League so quickly was a miracle, but returning to Plough Lane through the sheer willpower of their own fan base is possibly an even greater achievement. It's one of the greatest and happiest football stories ever told ❤

At the end of the 91/92 season we were homeless in the last game of the season against Bradford, Hill came on the pitch and told us he had done a deal for the next season. We fought for our club all the way through the 90s with Fulham2000 project trying to raise the money to stay. We didnt even secure the freehold on the ground till Al Fayed came in. We were dead and buried and still had the best attendances in the 4th tier. So save you pissy little comments dickhead. We fought harder than Wimbledon ever did and most others did and I'm proud to say i was at every game and i did my bit.

I grew up around Plough Lane. The club moved to Crystal Palace when I was pretty young but I've always felt strongly about the ground and team. When it was announced the dog track was going to be the new stadium it was bitter sweet but if it had to go it definitely went for the right reason! What a mighty story.

@coryshannon3815 3 года назад

The one cool thing about English football is that if a group is disenfranchised by its favorite team, they can start a new team to take back its pride and fandom. We can't do it here in the States, but it's really beautiful that fans can in English football.

@callumatkins6891 3 года назад

And this applies to other sports as well. I was raised in Seattle and had season tickets to SuperSonics basketball games growing up. They moved away in 2008, and that situation is very similar to Wimbledon's move to Milton Keynes. Unfortunately, it has been 13 years and there is no way of knowing how long it will be before Seattle gets a team again. An entire generation has grown up without having a local professional basketball team to support. There's no option to start a small team and have them move up in the levels, and no way locals could raise the 2.5 billion dollars to pay for a new NBA team.

@RytheCodplayer 8 месяцев назад

@@callumatkins6891”Proper structure” will never work in America. The combined size of the US and Canada is larger than continental Europe. Any league in America/Canada that has tired a proper promotion and relegation system has failed because fans aren’t going to travel 1000s of KM’s every week to watch a club in the 2nd tier, let alone the 3rd or 4th. Also your point about American sports being all about money is ironic considering this documentary is literally about greedy ownership ruining a club over profits and also the rise of oil clubs. Money is much more of a factor in European football than it is in American sports.

@AS-mw6pw 3 года назад

@@aidanmoran12 I don’t think it’s as bad as moving away completely because it’s all round less change. I do think it can kill the soul and atmosphere though just as much. Like the King Power will never have the same feel as Filbert Street, Cardiff’s new ground and Ninian Park, Spurs’s new ground and White Hart Lane. I get why it’s done because it’s cheaper sometimes to knock a few falling-to-pieces terraces down and start from scratch. But I feel like the best way to do it is to just to expand stand by stand over time. Maybe it’s not a good way to do it financially, but I know as a fan I just would rather never move away from home.

@AS-mw6pw 3 года назад

@@aidanmoran12 I’m not an idiot though, I get the logic behind it. Like if City never moved to the Etihad they would likely never have been bought by Shinawatra and later Sheikh Mansour, and wouldn’t be the club they are today. But at least city had a proper soul at Maine Road. That’s not completely gone by any means, but the board at city is so out of touch with the match-going Mancunians because pandering to the yanks and Chinese “fans” brings in the most revenue. The culture around proper city fans is still the same, but not having that famous ground to play at after playing there for 80 years and making so much history through ups and downs gives that empty feeling. City belong at Maine Road, no proper city fan will tell you the Etihad feels just as like home as Maine Road does.

@aidanmoran12 3 года назад

@@AS-mw6pw I know what you mean, my club has had a rebuild on the cards for a long time, and to be fair it's in amongst houses so new room for expansion, and it's over 100 years old so its half derelict and falling to bits but I cant help but fear that it will lose its soul at a new incarnation

Watching this brought so many tears to my eyes. Football belongs to the fans. owners, managers, bean counters and legends all come and go it's the fans that remain. Going back to Plough lane is a testament to the fans (or Owners as we call them). Some whose souls have sadly departed. The story of AFC Wimbledon shows that in football you should never give up.

So much respect and admiration for the supporters of AFC Wimbledon. So sickening to see what happened to the club and so pleased to see them back at Plough Lane in their rightful home. My team Reading FC are currently at rock bottom and the owner is killing our proud club and the EFL are just punishing the club with continual points deductions, embargoes for a number of years now. We protested in a march against Dai Yongge at the weekend. Our fans are so drained by years of mismanagement by an owner who was rejected by the Premier League when he tried to buy Hull City and was approved by a not fit for purpose EFL. We were formed in 1871, the fifth oldest club in England. And right now we as fans are staring into the abyss, contemplating the loss of OUR football club is truly heartbreaking and I'd never wish it on any fanbase. I just wanted to say all the best to AFC Wimbledon for the future, I really do hope fans of other clubs can help the Royals in our fight against our crook of an owner and against the EFL.

Wimbledon moving home after so long, after being robbed of their home, honestly brings a tear to the eye.

Beautifully produced. We all know the story of Plough Lane and Wimbledon, but this a great piece about the club and fans! Usually it’s ex players, so this is fresh and new! Love it!

Well done dons of Wimbledon. I may be a yank, but I remember the "Crazy Gang "of the glory days back in the late 80s! You guys deserve your moment in the sun once more. Much respect! Long live "Vinny Jones"!!!! Remember their FA Cup win against "The Culture Club" Liverpool ! You'll get their again. Fight on👊! Peace ✌☮out

This is definitely one of the best documentaries ever made. Its 2 o'clock in Nairobi and I'm out here bawling my eyes out to a random football club in London. 😢😢😭

Thanks for another beautiful documentary. Even though I'm a Spurs fan it was difficult not to be affected by it despite knowing all about the history of FC / AFC Wimbledon. Let's hope that the fans can return to Plough Lane too before too long.

As a Sutton Utd fan, who lived in Wimbledon for many years, the story of this club is just brilliant. Fair play to all involved and having visited Your new stadium, I can't deny it is a cracking, brilliant venue. Good luck guys!

Saw some games in the old Plough Lane as a 7 year old, then lived through the Selhurst years and then AFC...it's been one hell of a journey. Think the film is really nicely done, top work

I must have watched this 15-20 times. Over the last year. I’m not even a wimbledon fan, but their story really should be celebrated.

From a Liverpool fan great to see you back where you belong

@davidc7475 3 года назад

Astonoshing story fair play to the real fans for never giving up. To start a football club basically from scratch and to now be in league 1 is truly incredible, let alone getting back to plough lane. Hope to see you back in the premiership so day soon
