Woking FC's long-awaited season opener takes place on Saturday, with Sutton United visiting the Laithwaite Community Stadium. Following the conclusion of pre-season activities, the team has been preparing for the new season. Last time out, Woking finished pre-season in an encouraging manner with a 3-0 win against Eastbourne Borough, including a debut goal from on-loan Luton Town winger Taylan Harris.
What happened?
Woking faced Saturday's opponents twice last season, with a 1-1 draw at the Laithwaite Community Stadium, followed by a 2-1 win for Sutton in the reverse fixture. The away side have performed well in pre-season, with only one loss against AFC Wimbledon. Sutton most recently beat Southampton U21 3-2 and will hope to take that confidence into the opening fixture of the season.
Why it matters for Woking
The team will be looking to start the season on a positive note, and a win against Sutton would be a great way to do so. Woking has been working hard in pre-season, and the team is eager to show its skills on the pitch.
What comes next?
Make sure to grab your tickets for the season opener as the campaign gets underway! The next fixture for Woking FC is vs Carlisle (at home, 2027-02-13) (2nd in the table).
Player to Watch
New signing Charlie Carter has been somewhat of a notable coup for Sutton United. The midfielder was a talented player at Dorking Wanderers and showed quality on the pitch that allowed him to run games with ease – skills easily transferrable to National League football. Having departed the club at 29 and in his prime, Carter will be looking to hit the ground running with his new side.
