Stadium Facts

Gander Green Lane has been Sutton United’s home since 1912, with the Grandstand — still the ground’s only all-seated stand — added in 1951. Now carrying the VBS Community Stadium name under sponsorship, it keeps a traditional non-league feel, with covered terracing on three sides and curved corners. The pitch is an artificial 3G surface, and the club is best known for two of the great FA Cup upsets: beating top-flight Coventry City in 1989, and the 2017 run to the fifth round that ended against Arsenal. Sutton United spent three seasons in the EFL from 2021 and now compete in the National League.

FAQ

What is the capacity of VBS Community Stadium?

Published figures vary: the most recently quoted capacity is around 5,013, while some sources still list 7,032 (1,132 seated). The higher figure appears to reflect an older layout that included terracing since removed, so the lower number is the safer guide — check with the club for a specific fixture.

How do I get to VBS Community Stadium?

West Sutton station (Thameslink) is roughly 100 yards from the ground — turn right out of the station into Gander Green Lane. Sutton and Sutton Common stations are both a longer walk, and local bus routes serve Sutton town centre.

What is the bag policy at VBS Community Stadium?

Sutton United have not published a specific numeric bag-size limit. Standard ground security and bag checks apply on entry — check with the club before travelling if you plan to bring anything larger than a small bag.

Where are the best seats at VBS Community Stadium?

The Grandstand is the only all-seated area and gives the best elevated view down the side. The Sutton United Foundation Stand and Rec Terrace are covered standing areas, with the Foundation Stand the better pick for home atmosphere.

Is there parking at VBS Community Stadium?

The club car park on Gander Green Lane is reserved for permit holders on matchdays. Visiting supporters are directed to the Gibson Road municipal car park, around a 15-minute walk from the ground.
