Getting to the Ground

Stadium Address:

VBS Community Stadium

Gander Green Ln

Sutton

SM1 2EY

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.

Full Fan Guides for both home and away fans can also be accessed here.

Footballing activities will be available in the fanzone, including table football, as well as the bar and club shop being open.

Last Time We Met

Will Davies’ 13th goal of the season was enough to secure victory over Eastleigh in a competitive clash between two play-off chasing sides.

An end-to-end first half saw both sides go close to breaking the deadlock as debutant Rekiel Pyke had a couple of chances for Eastleigh, before Besart Topallaj saw a fierce shot cannon off the crossbar five minutes before half time. The Spitfires were then gifted the perfect chance to go in front when Jack Taylor was deemed to have fouled Niall Maher in the penalty area, but Jack Sims produced an outstanding acrobatic save to brilliantly tip Chris Maguire’s effort away on the stroke of the interval.

The U’s then had a spot-kick of their own shortly after the restart when Dillon De Silva was fouled by Lloyd Humphries, with Davies smashing his effort from 12 yards past Joe McDonnell to set up a tense end to the game, which saw the hosts see out a crucial three points with some superb defending.

Noa Boutin

Noa Boutin joined Sutton on a short-term a loan deal in August 2025, gaining additional National League experience having spent the 2024/25 campaign on loan at Eastleigh.

Born in Paris, Boutin began his career in his native France with Régional 2 side AC Boulogne-Billancour, before being offered a place in the Under-18 squad at AFC Bournemouth in 2020. The left back subsequently gained experience on loan at Poole Town, Weymouth and Gosport Borough whilst continuing his progression to the Under-21s at Dean Court in the summer of 2022.

He later spent the 2024/25 campaign on loan at Eastleigh, joining initially on a short-term deal, before going on to appear 34 times during a stint at the Silverlake Stadium.

This has since been followed by loan move to Sutton, where he has appeared 13 times in all competitions so far.
