[Football] Sutton United

[brighton terra]

Less than 20 minutes away from a place in the EFL, outdoing so many full-time ex-football league clubs in the process.

No mean achievement!

 

[Change at Barnham]

Am I right in thinking that like Harrogate they would have gained promotion with a 4G pitch?
I wonder how much of an advantage that is?
Although in the Football League they will have to play on grass.

It is still an amazing achievement and well done to Sutton United.

They do play on a 4G pitch

Well done by them. First semi-professional club to take the step up since Burton in 2008/09, I think.

It’s sad to not see them with a pie-eating goalkeeper on the bench. That sort of thing would definitely enhance the EFL.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Did I just see Dan Burn in the crowd ?

That's great news; Sutton seems like a decent club.

Congrats to the Amber and Chocolates! Up the Us

Saw them beat Coventry City in the F A Cup. Congratulations on their latest triumph.

Hopefully not long until they announce 'south London is ours.

Quite a few other players on their books with Albion and Sussex links, too:-

* Former Albion academy player Callum Kealy
* Louis John, who scored today, is a former Crawley Town scholar and pro (and has been on loan at Bognor and Lewes)
* Goalkeeper Brad House is from Worthing
* Adam Lovatt grew up in Eastbourne and joined Sutton from Hastings United this season
* Omar Bugiel has had spells with Worthing, Burgess Hill Town and Bognor Regis

I was born in Sutton and have always kept an eye on their results. Great that they will be playing teams like Swindon, Bristol Rovers, and Orient next season. Last time I saw them play was at Woodside Road in the f.a cup. Their fans seemed a good bunch- best of luck to them.

My Dad played for Sutton in the 1960s, so I always keep an eye out for their results.

Congratulations

That's great news; Sutton seems like a decent club.

Tim Vine certainly thinks so.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Delighted for Sutton and Paul Doswell although he’s not there anymore, he did more than most to get them into the league and deserves massive credit.

Saw them beat Coventry City in the F A Cup. Congratulations on their latest triumph.

I think my mate played in that one but he might have missed it through injury
