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.

Stat Attack

2 – Will Davies scored both of Sutton’s goals at home to Tamworth last season, making him one of two players to score in this fixture at the VBS Community Stadium. The other is Tom McGlinchey, who scored a match-winning double in December 2024.

3 – Sutton and Tamworth have over ever met three times, all coming in the 2024/25 season, producing every possible result. The two sides drew at the Lamb Ground on opening day, before each securing a win apiece at the VBS Community Stadium (Tamworth in the National League, Sutton in the FA Trophy).

21 – Sutton’s first match on this date as a senior club was in 1913. An FA Cup extra-preliminary round tie at Camberley & Yorktown, U’s exited the competition at its earliest stage by 5-3. Since then, twenty more matches have been contested, the most recent a 3-2 loss at Swindon Town in League Two in 2022.

Head-To-Head

• Sutton United wins: 1
• Draws: 1
• Tamworth wins: 1

Last Three Meetings: 

• Sutton 1-0 Tamworth – 7th January 2025 (FA Trophy)
• Sutton 1-2 Tamworth – 21 December 2024 (National League)
• Tamworth 1-1 Sutton – 10 August 2024 (National League)

Last Time We Met

Sutton set up a tie with Kidderminster Harriers in the Isuzu FA Trophy Fifth Round, as Will Davies’ second half strike was enough to secure victory over Tamworth.

It was the hosts who enjoyed the better of proceedings in the first half, with a couple of superb chances for Third Round hero Nana Boateng, while debutant George Evans repaid the faith shown by Steve Morison to act as Jack Sims’ cover with an excellent stop to deny Kyle Finn.

However, Davies struck the opener shortly before the hour-mark when his low effort from distance trickled underneath Tamworth goalkeeper Jasbir Singh, and thus ended the Lambs’ journey in the FA Trophy despite a barrage of pressure late on that was helped eased by a superb display from Evans.

Played for Both

Jessy Reindorf

French-born striker Jessy Reindorf spent his early career playing in Italy, France and Belgium before moving to England and signing for Bury in July 2013. After scoring for the Shakers in the League Cup against Norwich City, he left midway through the season and in February joined Tamworth, scoring four goals in eight games.

He would later sign for Sutton United in the summer of 2014 and scored six goals in 16 games, with a promising Sutton career soon being cut short when he was taken ill during a training session in November. Although he made a full recovery, he opted to return to Belgium, later also turning out in Moldova and France.

Reindorf is also an international, featuring a handful of times for Rwanda including in the 2013 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
