Since 2002, when the English soccer side AFC Wimbledon reformed into the Football League its fans have been working hard to regain a proper home stadium, and the fruition of that effort can now be seen with construction on its new venue taking shape.
Manager Glyn Hopkins and members of the first-team went behind the scenes at the Plough Lane construction site in Wimbledon, south London, where crews are working hard to get the 20,000-seater stadium (although 10,000 seats will be built in its first phase) ready for completion by 2021.
