Wimbledon say they have negotiated with a number of parties over the sale of their current Kingsmeadow home. The site, previously owned by Kingstonian and still used by the Ryman League side, will be vacated by the Wombles if they get planning for their new home in Merton.

Evesham's Jubilee Stadium was ransacked by thieves over Christmas, causing thousands of pounds worth of damage. Having stolen a small amount of petty cash, a TV, and some beer, the thieves proceeded to leave the beer pumps to flow onto the floor, while mustard from the canteen was sprayed around walls. The attack comes after thieves smashed through the roof at Tamworth and stole money from fruit machines.
