In recent times the pitch has played host to England C team and FA Sunday Cup matches. From 2015 the surface was a FIFA 2-Star quality 3G pitch, FIFA's highest rating for 3G artificial pitches, but after winning promotion in 2021 Football League playing surface regulations obliged Sutton to replace the 3G surface with grass. During the 2021–22 pre-season the club installed a hybrid grass "PowerGrass" pitch.
