A crowdfunding page set up to raise money for AFC Wimbledon after the club's stadium was damaged by flooding has gathered more than £100,000 in donations.

The Cherry Red Records Stadium in Plough Lane was left underwater after large amounts of rain fell in the area on Sunday night and Monday morning, causing extensive damage to the pitch.

More than 100,000 litres of water has been pumped out of the stadium this week.

Wimbledon's Carabao Cup third-round match against Newcastle United has been moved to St James' Park next week and the Premier League club have pledged £15,000 to the fund.
