Match Preview

This Saturday we welcome Stamford from Lincolnshire for our first meeting of the season with The Daniels.

The club was established in 1896 and spent a single season in the East Midlands League. After several years without league football, the club joined the Northamptonshire League in 1909, and won the title in 1911–12.

Stamford play at the Zeeco Stadium which holds 2000 supporters, of which 250 are seated.

Stamford play in a home kit of red shirt with a white trim, red shorts and red socks. Their away kit is a yellow shirt with black trim, black shorts and yellow socks.

Stamford have been in really good form in this division having won 17 of their opening 27 matches. This has meant they are currently in a play-off position in fourth place, taking a total of 56 points so far this season. In contrast Sutton have only 22 points and sit in 17th position just above the relegation places.

The last time Sutton played Stamford was in the 19/20 season away, and The Royals were on the receiving end of a 1-2 defeat.

This will be a difficult game for sure, but Sutton often raise their game for tougher opposition and with all change at the club presently, don’t bet against them getting a result.

Hope to see Coles Lane full on Saturday to give Thorpe’s men a real boost.
