The Sad Plight of Kingstonian

[Robbie]

"KINGSTONIAN are facing extinction after being forced from their home by Chelsea".

"The non-league side sold their Kingsmeadow ground to AFC Wimbledon in 2003 for a reported fee of £2.5 million".

"The Dons played at the stadium for several years and won promotion back to the EFL before selling the ground to Chelsea in 2017".

"Wimbledon had ground shared with Kingstonian during that period but Chelsea kicked The K's out of their home to allow their women's team to play there".

"That forced Kingstonian to ground share with other non league clubs including Leatherhead, Corinthians, Tooting & Mitcham and Raynes Park Vale, where they currently play matches".

"The result has been dwindling attendances and growing dissatisfaction amongst the fanbase, as well as relegation from the Isthmian Premier Division this season after 15 years in the division".

This a very sad situation. One of the big six PL clubs being indirectly involved with a non league club maybe being forced out of existence.
