Newcastle Donates £15,000 to Aid AFC Wimbledon After Stadium Flooding

Flooding from the River Wandle forces AFC Wimbledon to postpone matches and relocate Carabao Cup tie against Newcastle.

AFC Wimbledon's Plough Lane stadium suffered significant damage after the River Wandle broke its banks, leading to extensive flooding.
The Carabao Cup match between AFC Wimbledon and Newcastle United has been rescheduled to October 1 at St James's Park.
Newcastle United contributed £15,000 to a fundraising effort, helping a fan-led campaign surpass its £50,000 target for stadium repairs.
Over 100,000 liters of water were pumped out of the stadium, which also experienced a sinkhole on the pitch.
The flooding has forced AFC Wimbledon to seek alternative venues for upcoming fixtures, including matches against Accrington Stanley and Crewe.
