1960maaan Posted Monday at 10:36 Share Posted Monday at 10:36 That is terrible for a newish stadium . I wonder who has to foot the bill for that , surely that is faulty planning or design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, if it's been properly surveyed and signed off before construction then there is no liability back to the developer. Sink holes appear out of nowhere and old unmapped mineshafts appear all the time, there was a big one last week.

Silvio Dante Posted Monday at 11:03 Author Share Posted Monday at 11:03 The absolute here is that there is no chance of them playing there for a couple of months at least. I’d guess there will be an emergency ground share to someone like Charlton arranged. The biggest short term deal is that Newcastle game - they’ll clearly need to get that played quickly or I’d imagine forfeit. Possible switch to St James Park or you would hope one of the other London clubs would offer use of their stadium at short notice. Logistical nightmare though.

Had a quick look at the video and assumed it was water from below lifting the tuff/pitch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham and Chelsea are much closer, but possibly the more likely option would be Sutton United. Utter disaster for them though. They've gone through loads to get back to Plough Lane and now this. Gotta feel for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly looks like a lot of work ahead to be getting that pitch not only safe but playable again Bad timing that they are due to be home 3 times in a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted Monday at 14:44 Share Posted Monday at 14:44 It would probably take first place in the Turner Prize! From what I can gather though, it's not a sinkhole, but a - "sinkhole" (in quotes) which would indicate that it looks like one but isn't actually one.

Big C Posted Tuesday at 17:18 Share Posted Tuesday at 17:18 A JustGiving page, external has been set up by Wombles fan Graham Stacey to raise funds to help Wimbledon repair the damage, with a target of £100,000. Their cup opponents Newcastle are among those to help, pledging £15,000. Fair play to Newcastle. I know its not much to them but still a kind gesture 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago They show Shrewsbury as not having donated in the list for League One but show them in the `Others` list. I`d be a bit miffed if I were them as most will just look at the divisional list and assume they`re cheapskates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
