GROUND HISTORY TRAVEL

Forming out of the seething rage that accompanied the decision to take Wimbledon FC from its home to footballing bastion of Milton Keynes in 2002, there could be many similarities to be found about the rise through the pyramid of AFC Wimbledon. The rise during the decade that followed its inception can be labelled as meteoric with good reason.

League title after league title guided them towards the ultimate aim of Football League status in such a short space of time, and the promotion from the Blue Square South in 2009 was the penultimate step towards the first major target of the club's existence. With plenty of fans backing them, the Dons are certainly not short of a bit of extra oomph from the 12th man.

After a pretty impressive first season in the Blue Square Premier, AFC Wimbledon pushed forward in the 2010/1 season and qualified for the playoffs for the first time. A showpiece final between the old and the new - Luton Town and the Dons - saw the season's second promotion spot decided on penalties; the side from South London triumphant and on the march upwards again.
