In the southwest of London (United Kingdom), huge quantities of water have fallen. The grass of the Wimbledon football team did not survive the torrential rain, which created a real sinkhole in the pitch. The League Cup match against Newcastle, scheduled for Tuesday, September 24, had to be postponed.
Newcastle’s classy move
For a club like Wimbledon, such damage will be too costly for the finances of this team playing in the fourth division. In order to finance the repairs, a kitty has been launched to collect 50,000 pounds (nearly €60,000). The opponent who was unable to come to play their match, Newcastle, has decided to pay almost a third of the total needs, with 15,000 pounds (around €16,000).
