By Car

Travel along the M25, exiting at Junction 8. Then travel north on the A217 for about 15-20 minutes. Ignoring signs for Sutton itself, stay on the A217 to the traffic lights by the Gander Inn (on the left), turn right into Gander Green Lane. The Borough Sports Ground is about 200 yards up this road on the left hand side. If you reach West Sutton Station you have gone too far.

On matchdays, the club car park in Gander Green Lane is for parking permit holders only. Away fans should park in Gibson Road, the local municipal car-park. It takes no more than 15 minutes to walk from Gibson Road to the stadium. Click here for more information regarding parking, while a map of Gibson Road can be found here.

By Rail

It is recommended that visiting supporters use Sutton station, which is on the main lines out of Victoria and London Bridge and is at the top end of Sutton High Street, about 20 minutes’ walk from the ground. Two buses between Morden and Sutton stations run conveniently close to our stadium: route 413 bus goes down Gander Green Lane, and number 80 runs along Collingwood Road. The ground can then be reached by taking the path through Collingwood Rec.

West Sutton railway station is adjacent to the ground. It is served by Thameslink trains via Wimbledon or Sutton. Come out of West Sutton station and turn right into Gander Green Lane and the ground is about 100 yards further along. Away fans should walk past the main entrance and after about 70 yards turn right into Collingwood Recreation Ground, where the away turnstiles 5-8 are situated.

By Bus

The 413 service runs past the ground down Gander Green Lane. The bus leaves Sutton town centre from outside the main post office. The 80 route from Hackbridge to Belmont runs down Collingwood Road. The ground can be reached by taking the path through Collingwood Rec. Both routes also connect with the Northern Line at Morden.

London Buses are now cashless. Fares are a flat £1.75, and this includes multiple journeys within a one-hour period of the first “touch in” with a contactless payment card or Oyster card.

Accessibility

All accessible entrances will be open as detailed in the stadium map below:

We currently have spaces for ten wheelchair users (seven home, three away) and we would ask anyone who needs to use this facility to book in advance (contactus@suttonunited.net). If any wheelchair user needs to park at our stadium, please let us know in advance and we will make arrangements to welcome you. We have accessible toilets at both ends of the ground and in the main stand. Ambulant supporters will need to climb a handful of steps as there are currently no lifts.

For more information, supporters can access the club’s FAQs, which can be found here.

Last Time We Met

Chris Agutter’s first game as Sutton manager ended in a goalless draw at a blustery Braintree, a result that left both sides still in the bottom four of the table. Played in a howling gale and between two sides at the wrong end of the table it was scarcely surprising that the game wasn’t a classic, and while Braintree will be the more frustrated at not breaking the deadlock, particularly in a twenty minute spell either side of half time when they had U’s penned in their own half, Sutton defended well and towards the end might even have completed a smash and grab victory when Brandon Njoku’s shot brought a good save from home goalkeeper Mason Terry.

Player In Focus

Zaviah Massiah-Edwards

Position: Forward

Age: 19

Played for Both

Will Davies

Former Sutton striker Will Davies got his break at National League South level when he joined Braintree Town, and seems a distant memory ago now after a breathtaking run of form for Sutton last season led to his high profile departure in the summer.

A product of the Ipswich Town academy, Davies later spent time with Woodbridge Town before an impressive stint at Coplestonians, notching 19 goals in 23 appearances, and later came to prominence with Southern League Premier Division Central team Leiston with over 50 goals in two seasons. He subsequently extended his good form into the National League South for Braintree with seven goals in 14 appearances, and continued his rapid rise up the divisions when, after just a few months at Cressing Road, he joined National League outfit York City in November 2023. Davies would appear 20 times for the Minstermen and scored five goals before spending a brief time away from the LNER Community Stadium, ending the 2023/24 campaign on loan at Bromley.

He would remain in South London permanently when he opted to make the switch to Sutton, and notched a superb rate of 18 goals last season, earning a move to Fleetwood Town in the summer, where he has scored six times in maiden campaign in League Two.
