Diego_Sideburns Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 NOTE: This information may be out-dated in an ever-changing world. Sutton United FC, The Borough Sports Ground, Gander Green Lane, Sutton, Surrey SM1 2EY Capacity: 5,013 (Seats 765) but the record attendance was 14,000 v Leeds United in the FA Cup Fourth Round, 24th January 1970. Away fans are mostly housed in the Collingwood Road End. This modern terrace is covered and to gain entrance you need to walk through the park alongside the ground. A previous visitor reported that although the terrace is modern, the toilets at that end are from a bygone era! In addition, a small number of seats are made available in the Main Stand. Although this stand is raised above pitch level, it is set back and the leg room is less than generous. There are supporting pillars running across the front of the stand that could impede your view. How to get there: By car: Travel along the M25 to junction 8. Then 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 – if you reach West Sutton station you have gone too far! Car parking: The car park at the ground is for permit holders only. There is street parking available but further away from the ground due to a local residents’ parking scheme, so please check signage on lampposts for restrictions. Town centre car parks are a 5-10 minute walk from the ground. By train: Sutton Railway Station is only one stop (or two minutes travelling time) away from West Sutton Station which is adjacent to the ground. West Sutton is served by trains via Sutton, London St Pancras and Bedford. As you come out of the narrow station entrance, turn right and the entrance to the ground is down on the right. By Bus: From the Post Office (Stop S) on Sutton High Street, it is four stops on the No. 413 bus to the ground.. Where to drink: Behind the Grandstand there is a Social Club, which welcomes away fans and normally has real ale available. Around a ten-minute walk away at the traffic lights on the main A217 is the Gander pub. The pub options in Sutton town centre are numerous. JD Wetherspoon has two outlets The Moon on the Hill and The Nonsuch Inn. There are an All Bar One and a handful of other options clustered at the top of the High Street all within five minutes’ walk of Sutton railway station. The Old Bank, immediately to the right of Sutton station as you exit, has live sport and food. Where to eat: All the usual High Street restaurant chains are present. The Club catering available inside the ground includes Bacon & Egg Baguettes, Bacon Baguettes, Hot Dog In Baguette, Cheeseburgers, Burgers, Hot Dogs, Egg & Bacon Rolls, Bacon Rolls and Chips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
