Promotion to the Football League comes with a whole heap of rewards but also a very long to do list for AFC Wimbledon.

High up on that is the updating of their stadium, Kingsmeadow, and turning it to a Football League ground - albeit the smallest one of all 92 league clubs.

With a capacity of just 4,722, the stadium is 224 short of fellow-promoted side Crawley Town's Broadfield Stadium and 333 short of last season's smallest, Accrington Stanley's Crown Ground.

While there are no plans to expand the seating further there is still plenty to be done, work on which has yet to begin while they wait for clearance from the Football Foundation.

"There are things we have to do before we can play our first game in the league," said chief executive Erik Samuelson.

"To do them we need a grant and we have sent off the application for that now, which we couldn't do until we were members of the Football League and we are only members once promoted.

"So that's what I spent my Sunday and Monday doing after the play-off final, filling out the grant application.

"If you start work before your grant is approved you cannot get it, so now we have applied we have written to them and check it is ok to start work and if we do it won't harm our application.

"None of the things we have to do are as much work as when we expanded the seats though."

The main work will be erecting a control room above the yellow gates leading to Jack Goodchild Way and a CCTV system to monitor the crowd in and outside the stadium.

Among the other projects, the Dons must install larger dug-outs to handle the extended substitutes bench in the Football League and also a second shower in the match officials room.

What Wimbledon must do to Kingsmeadow:

- Install a control room to monitor the crowd in and outside of the stadium.

- Install CCTV cameras feeding pictures to the control room.

- Put in turnstile monitoring equipment to count how many people are in each part of the ground.

- Improve the PA system so it can give different instructions to different parts of the ground in case of an emergency.

- Fit a new shower in the match officials' changing room as there is only one at the minute and there needs to be two.

- Make the dug outs bigger as there are seven subs in the Football League and more people to fit on them.

- Install a barrier the length of the John Smith stand to create walkway at the front.
