It is. I'll be a pedant and say it's on the site of the greyhound stadium, however.First game back at their new ground, which is on the same site as Plough Lane. Shame no fans attending but what a brilliant story.
Shame they had to fuck over another community club to get there. They also showed no empathy with our situation at St Andrews last year either. Fuck them too.

Which other club did they fuck over?
Kingstonian leave Kingsmeadow: collateral damage in a modern football parable?
Kingstonian bade an emotional farewell to their ground on Saturday. Could the club, Chelsea and AFC Wimbledon have done more to prevent them moving?www.theguardian.com
Also the greyhound stadium is obviously no longer a greyhound stadium.

The Long Read: AFC Wimbledon are a fan-owned team who have beaten the odds. But there’s a catch. They can’t have the happy ending they want unless the last greyhound racing track in London is demolishedwww.theguardian.com
It's all... complicated. Of course it didn't need to be *as* complicated as this, if Wimbledon hadn't been wilfully displaced in the first place.
To be honest their fans are cunts. Like someone said they showed no empathy to us at St Andrews. Not a fan of them at all
They could have negotiated with Chelsea for them to stay though, even if they bought a little less cash in for it.Bit harsh blaming it all on Wimbledon, it's not an ideal situation all round but I think it was known at the time Kingstonian would have gone out of business if Wimbledon didn't buy the ground in the first place in 2003 from their dodgy owners and allowed them to remain there for a peppercorn rent. Eventually Wimbledon would have had to sell to fund their move back home at some point, if Kingstonian weren't going to do so its hardly their fault.
Thankfully the greyhound stadium is no longer a greyhound stadium, not particularly a fan of the treatment of the animals in that 'sport'
The standard "you've got no ground", "homeless tramps" etc. I would have expected more after what they've been through.What did they do at St Andrews? I do prefer them to MK Franchise, especially the assholes I met on the train coming back from Brum last season.

Standard stuff no grounds etc. Normally not bothered by that shit. But that got to me considering they’re a piddly no Mark club that only existed since 2002.What did they do at St Andrews?

The only interest I take from their new stadium is the estimated build and equip costs of a 9000 capacity stadium being around £32m.

Since then I prefer MK Dons, they might be a franchise but at least they’ve moved on and started putting roots into the MK community.
AFC can fuck off
