Why AFC Wimbledon

AFC Wimbledon are not a spare club. They are England EFL Trophy, Plough Lane, pick them and the season has a second spine.

Unrecorded beginnings
Nobody agrees on the founding date, which is its own kind of romance: AFC Wimbledon exist because people in England kept turning up.
Nothing won, everything to play for
The trophy cabinet is a shelf and a rumour. Supporting AFC Wimbledon is a bet on a first, not a return to former glories.
Close to the pitch
Plough Lane holds about 9,215. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.
You get a nickname
Known as The Dons The Wombles. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.

Ground: Plough Lane. Go in a day early, find the pre-match pub, buy the programme.
