Newcastle United have provided financial support to AFC Wimbledon following the Carabao Cup third round postponement.

Graham Stacey, 50, from Hook in Hampshire, set up the fundraiser – which has surpassed its target of £50,000 – after the Cherry Red Records Stadium was hit with flooding and appeared to have a sinkhole in the pitch after some areas of the country saw more than a month’s worth of rain in 24 hours on Monday.

Newcastle United's League Cup third round match against fourth-tier AFC Wimbledon has been moved to St James' Park and rescheduled to Oct. 1, the Premier League club said on Monday. The match initially scheduled for Tuesday at Wimbledon's Plough Lane had to be postponed due to pitch damage following extensive flooding in South London.
