Kingstonian administrator Nick Hood insists Wimbledon FC have not tabled a bid to buy Kingsmeadow.

The New Years Day edition of the Sun reported that the First Division club had been in talks with Ks for the last four weeks and was planning to move into the 6,500-capacity stadium.

It also reported that the Dons were keen to build a larger new stadium in Kingston in the next couple of years.

Dons reserves and ladies sides already play their home games at Kingsmeadow.

But Hood, of city-based administration company Begbies Traynor, said the Dons had not made a bid to buy or move their first team to Kingsmeadow.

Wimbledon have not made an offer to buy Kingsmeadow, said Hood. The only ones who have made an offer are Farnborough Town.

But it has been well documented Farnborough have problems of their own.

Discussions

They are in discussions with the Nationwide Conference about whether they can share a ground. This may take a while.

At the moment we are all waiting to see whats going to happen. Farnborough are still sorting out their problems with the Conference.

The Dons, meanwhile, are waiting to see if an FA tribunal will overule a Football League decision blocking them from pressing ahead with their switch to Milton Keynes.

Wimbledon have a hearing in two weeks about their proposed move to Milton Keynes, said Hood.

I do speak to Wimbledon regularly and know them very well but only because they play all their reserve games at Kingston and they have a right to know whats going on.

Wimbledon as a club are spread around a lot.

If they were interested in coming to Kingstonian that would be an issue for them.

Despite Ks being £750,000 in the red, Hood says the club are slowly getting back financially onto an even keel.

He added: Things are still going along at a steady rate. There is still money to pay for things at the club. There are still a number of interested parties wanting to talk to me about buying the club.

At the moment there is nothing happening. Im still perfectly relaxed about the current situation.

The team are doing well and are playing some good football. Its up to the players to carry that good work on.

And Im still looking after the clubs finances until a buyer is found.

Ks chairman Alan Kingston said: We havent spoken to Wimbledon for the last month.

If Wimbledon were to move to the ground, we would have to totally rebuild it and that wouldnt be an option.

The only chance Wimbledon would have of moving to Kingsmeadow would be to train at the ground and also use our administration facilities.

At the moment Wimbledon seem to be scattered around three or four parts of south London.

Dons chairman Charles Koppel has caused outrage among the clubs supporters with his plans to take the club to Milton Keynes.

Pressure

Although fans are increasing pressure for a return to Plough Lane, a move to Kingston which is nearer than Selhurst Park to the Dons original home would certainly be more popular with supporters than the MK option.

But public relations firm Brunswick, which handles enquiries about the clubs proposed move to Milton Keynes, had no knowledge of a possible switch to Kingstonian.

Senior associate Frank De Mario said: I dont know anything about this idea. Its the first time Ive heard of it.

A familiar face to Ks fans will be making a return to the club tomorrow (Saturday) when Steve Brown and his Purfleet team-mates are the visitors.

Ks will be looking to preserve their unbeaten home record since Steve Sedgley took over from Bill Williams as manager in October.

Ks handed debuts to new signings Luke Dowling and Craig Rocastle in last Saturdays 1-1 draw with Basingstoke and both are likely to figure again tomorrow.

Dowling signed for Kingstonian from Lewes while Rocastle, nephew of former Arsenal and England hero, David who died last year, joins the club on a one month loan from Gravesend & Northfleet.

Dave Sadler, who came on as a substitute at half time, scored the Kingstonian goal.
