Borough Sports Ground

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gander Green Lane ground, home of Sutton United Football Club

Borough Sports Ground is the home of Sutton United F.C.. Also called Gander Green Lane because of location down a road called Gander Green Lane. The record attendance for Gander Green Lane is about 14,000 when Sutton United lost 6-0 against Leeds United in the FA Cup in the 1969/1970 season. In 1962/1963 Sutton United paid £5,000 for floodlights in their ground. In the summer of 2000/2001 season new floodlights were installed at the ground.

The pitch is quite a long way from the terracing, especially at the Collingwood Road End, because the ground used to be used as a running track. This makes the crowd seem even quieter than it actually is as the fans are well spread out.
