AFC Wimbledon Fan Richard Cobb Has the Best Seat in the House

A man living next to AFC Wimbledon's Cherry Red Records Stadium in London has discovered a perfect view of the pitch from his own sofa. Richard Cobb, a writer and stand-up comedian, captured the view in a viral TikTok video that has gained nearly a million views. Although he is a Hearts supporter, Cobb's flat overlooks the stadium, providing him with an ideal spot to watch the team play.

Viral Video Captures the Perfect View

In the TikTok video, Cobb films the pre-match coverage on his TV before turning the camera to show his front room window, which directly overlooks the football pitch. The video, captioned "ITV are in my garden", has received 30,000 likes and has been widely shared on social media. Fans were quick to comment on the post, with some suggesting that Cobb could make money by advertising his room as a hospitality box during games.

AFC Wimbledon's Emotional Return to Plough Lane

The completion of the Plough Lane stadium marked an emotional return for AFC Wimbledon, a football club that had been displaced from its natural home since 2002. In that year, the Football Association allowed the original Wimbledon F.C. to relocate to Milton Keynes to avoid bankruptcy. The club has a storied history, with famous victories in the FA Cup, including an upset win over Liverpool in the 1988 final.
