[1] The stadium was the home of Kingstonian from 1989, when they built the entire complex on the site following the sale of their former Richmond Road ground.
Following relegation from the Conference, Kingstonian went into financial administration and both the club and ground were purchased by Rajesh Khosla and his son Anup.
The club's owners, the Dons Trust, launched a share issue to finance the purchase, which was closed the following summer.
[2][3] The sale was hugely detrimental to Kingstonian, with them unable to play in a ground that was now too big and expensive for a non-league side and over which they no longer had any control.
[4][5][6][7] Kingstonian started a groundshare with Leatherhead in 2017–8,[8][9] and then moved to King George's Field in Tolworth, sharing with Corinthian Casuals from the 2018–19 season.
The ground's lease is currently owned by Chelsea, having purchased it from AFC Wimbledon in 2015, in order to use it for their women's and youth sides.
