It is becoming increasingly likely that Sutton United F.C will be one of the teams replacing us in League Two next season, fair play to them, does anyone know if they are financially backed by someone or have they earnt their top spot?

Live in Sutton, about 10 minutes from their ground. Definitely earned and not bought, they've had some investment but nothing too significant as far as I've seen.

They do have fan representation on the board though, which is a positive thing in this day and age.

There's a guy we work with who is a massive Sutton fan - he travelled up to Scotland and across to Ireland (I seem to think) when they were a guest team in the Scottish Challenge Cup the other year. He would be disappointed to miss out on a trip to Blundell Park next season, that's for sure, as he goes to most of the away games.

Funnily enough, he told me the other month that the team isn't anything special - they were just finding a way to get the results. Doing pretty well at it if the table is anything to go by! It would be good for a team not bankrolled as so many are these days to win promotion, though I don't know how this will affect our chances next season if the other 'bankrolled' clubs are still down there.

Have they gotten rid of the ‘plastic’ pitch already or can they do that in the Summer?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I think we will be more "bankrolled" than we have been in the past

Yes I saw their chairman interviewed about it. He isn't happy that the EFL won't accept plastic pitches and said it could cost up to 500k.

They might have to do what Harrogate did and start the season playing at another ground.

My mate, a Chesterfield fan thought they had the advantage with all home games due to their artificial pitch, high bounces etc.

To be fair their away record's nearly as good as their home one.

Still there. They have plans to replace in the summer if they go up - as they likely are.

Bittersweet for me, one hand I’m happy for them as they are a good community club and deserve it more than some, but having an away game five minutes from my door will be missed!
