Our final match of the calendar year sees Adam Hinshelwood’s Reds entertain Marc White’s Dorking under the lights at Woodside Road.

A bumper crowd is expected in West Sussex, with segregation in place between both sets of supporters.  We strongly advise supporters planning on attending tomorrow’s match to purchase tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.  the club cannot guarantee the availability of any tickets on the gate.

Find out all the information you need for your trip to Woodside Road, including ticket information, refreshment options and a reminder of our ground regulations below:

Bowls Club Exit

Tomorrow’s match will be a segregated fixture, with Dorking Wanderers fans congregating in the North East Corner of the stadium.

In the past, home fans would have found it would take longer to leave the Sussex Transport Community Stadium on segregated matches, as the North, South and West Stands would have to leave via the same exits.

However, at the start of the season, we reached an agreement with our neighbours at the Bowls Club to open the side exit next to the Arrow Taxi South Stand, which will allow fans to leave quicker via that alleyway and reduce congestion.

The exit will be clearly marked out by our helpful stewards, who will assist fans in departing the ground.

After a successful trial period, this is now a permanent option for segregated matches. However, supporters are still expected to follow the stewards’ instructions and leave in an orderly manner. If this doesn’t happen, the Club, and you as supporters, will lose this privilege, thus making it much harder for supporters to exit the stadium for the rest of the season.

Pop-Up Bar

A Pop-Up Bar will be in operation tomorrow evening and will be situated behind the North Stand.

The bar will be for beer sales only and is the most convenient and efficient way to grab a quick alcoholic refreshment. Please note this is for home fans only.

Alternative soft drinks and other refreshments can be purchased at the other outlets around the ground.

Club Shop

Our Club Shop will be open for business for two hours up until the kick-off tomorrow (5:45pm-7:45pm) and is the perfect place to grab some official Club merchandise.

The Shop has changed location this season and is now situated directly in front of the turnstiles, a prime location for supporters with easy access. All three of our 2025/26 kits are available to purchase at the shop, amongst several other items.

Food and Drink

Our FanZone, sponsored by ST Containers, will be open as usual tomorrow evening and is the perfect place to feel the buzz before kick-off, as the atmosphere builds ahead of the hotly-anticipated encounter.

Alongside the The Container Bar, the FanZone also has multiple TV screens installed on the walls which means supporters can enjoy some pre-match entertainment in the lead-up to our evening kick-off.

Several refreshments are available to purchase under the canopy, including Drip, our Official Hydration Partner.

Our Elmo’s Chicken Shack, located in the North West Corner of the stadium, will also be open and ready to serve delicious chicken to some hungry customers. Several items are just waiting to be devoured, including burgers, tenders and popcorn chicken! Please note this is for home fans only.
