Sutton United

The club

Sutton United Football Club are a professional-status National League club from Sutton, in south London in the old county of Surrey, nicknamed the U's, the Amber and Chocolates and the Yellows. The club is not Sutton Coldfield Town, Sutton Common Rovers or Sutton Town, which are separate clubs. Wikipedia gives a founding date of 5 March 1898, when Sutton Guild Rovers and Sutton Association merged. They play at Gander Green Lane, officially the VBS Community Stadium, with a capacity of 7,032, of which 1,132 are seated. The home kit is amber with chocolate trim, and the away kit for 2025-26 and 2026-27 is black and amber.

Chris Agutter is listed as manager on Wikipedia, replacing Steve Morison in October 2025. A fan-site page says Morison left in September 2025, so the exact month of the change differs between sources.
