 New stretch target

Increased funds will allow us to increase production values and further support WiSH


A Fans' club was originally written by Matthew Couper in 2004 and performed to sell out audiences at the Wimbledon Studio Theatre. The following year the show went on a mini-tour, including a performance in main house at Wimbledon Theatre, before a run at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Now, twenty-one years after AFC Wimbledon was rebuilt by the fans and six promotions later (and yes one relegation!) the play has been completely re-written to take in some of the influential voices of the time and reflect on the loss the fans experience.

The aim is to find the funds required to stage the play at AFC Wimbledon's Cherry Red Records Stadium, Plough Lane and support Wimbledon in Sporting History.

There are some amazing rewards for anyone that contributes, include show tickets, posters and CD's.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to welcoming you at the Cherry Red Records Stadium for the premier and the revised version of A Fans' Club - Birth of a Phoenix, from 23 to 25 June 2023.
