Torquay could only draw the other week so it's been back in Sutton's hands and they won 3-0 this afternoon to move 4 pts clear. Torquay playing Stockport tomorrow, I believe.
Sutton have never been in the League before. Would be good to see them go up. |  |

Always remember them as a good cup side back in the 80's. They beat Coventry one year and I know a few Ipswich went up to cheer them on in the next round at Carrow Road, where they unfortunately lost 8-0. (At least it wasn't us).
They had a proper old school manager didn't they? Wore a flat cap, smoked in the dug out etc. [Post edited 15 May 2021 17:27]

I used to live in Sutton so it would be good to see!
I seem to remember their board saying a few years ago they didn't actually want promotion because they wanted to stay as a semi-pro community club, and didn't want to have to get rid of their artificial pitch. Not sure if the same people are in charge now! |  | | |

Yes. Although 3G is a bit different to the hard plastic pitches of the Luton/QPR/Oldham/Preston days of the eighties. Not sure if it is allowed in the EFL though. |  | | |

It's not, they'll have to dig it up. Harrogate did the same and played their first few matches at Doncaster. |  |

And me, Oldfields rd (the bypass). If Town were playing up north id go gander green lane to watch Sutton instead. 10mins from my then front door. |  | | |

I refereed games twice at QPR. The surface was so different. Travelled really quickly on any pass along the ground and any bounce was hard for players to predict. Sometimes it was very high and sometimes quick and fast going to chest height. Believe me players did not bounce when they fell. It was like falling over in a car park …. But today’s 4G are very different. | | | |
