AFC Whyteleafe were formed to carry football in Whyteleafe forward after the previous club left the pyramid. Based at Church Road, the club has rebuilt quickly through the non-league system and reached the Isthmian Premier for 2026/27, restoring senior football to one of Surrey’s traditional non-league grounds.
For the 2026/27 Isthmian Premier Division season, AFC Whyteleafe are playing first-team home matches at Flamingo Park in Chislehurst, ground-sharing with Cray Wanderers, while Church Road remains important to the club for training and youth football.
Flamingo Park is a modern Step 3 venue directly off the A20 Sidcup By-Pass. The ground is compact but purpose-built for current non-league requirements, with a 3G pitch, a seated stand on one side, covered standing/terraced areas, clubhouse facilities and a fan zone feel around the Sun Lounge end. It is not a traditional old enclosed non-league ground, but it gives clear views, modern facilities and a more developed matchday set-up than many grounds at this level.
The main spectator facilities are concentrated around the clubhouse and bar side, with food and drink available on site and a large screen/fan-zone element often used around bigger matchdays. Because this is a ground-share for AFC Whyteleafe, supporters should always check the club’s matchday information before travelling in case entry arrangements, ticketing links or opening times differ from Cray Wanderers fixtures.
Segregation is not expected to be routine for AFC Whyteleafe league matches at Flamingo Park, but the ground is capable of managing away supporters separately if a fixture requires it. At this level, most visiting supporters should expect a mixed non-league environment unless the club announces otherwise.
For unsegregated matches, away fans can usually enter through the standard turnstiles and choose their own viewing position, with the seated stand, covered standing and pitchside rail all available depending on stewarding instructions. The clubhouse and food areas are also normally part of the shared matchday experience, although busier fixtures may have more controlled movement.
If segregation is used, visiting supporters should follow the specific matchday guide issued by AFC Whyteleafe, Cray Wanderers or the away club. Flamingo Park sits directly off the A20, with the ground entrance and car park reached from the Sidcup By-Pass side, so allow a little extra time on arrival if stewards are directing supporters to different entry points.

The key advice for AFC Whyteleafe at Flamingo Park is to remember that this is not their traditional Church Road home. Supporters heading to Whyteleafe itself out of habit will be in the wrong place for first-team league fixtures in 2026/27. The match venue is Flamingo Park Sports Ground, Chislehurst.
Drivers should approach via the A20 and follow the ground/car park signage. The site is convenient by road but can be awkward on foot if you have not planned the route, so public transport users should check connections to New Eltham or nearby bus routes before travelling. New Eltham is the most practical rail option, but the final walk involves suburban roads and crossing towards the A20 area.
Arrive early for Saturday fixtures, especially if the fan-zone area is open or another event is taking place at the sports complex. The ground has good modern facilities, but queues can still build at the turnstiles, food outlet and bar at this level when a bigger away following travels.
AFC Whyteleafe use online ticketing for season tickets and may sell match tickets online depending on the fixture. For individual matches, always check the club’s official website and social media before travelling because the 2026/27 move to Flamingo Park means ticket links and arrangements may vary from older Church Road information.
At this level, pay on the gate is still commonly available unless the club announces an all-ticket or advance-ticket arrangement. Where turnstile sales are available, supporters should expect both cash and card to be possible at many fixtures, but it is sensible to bring a payment card and a small amount of cash just in case.
For neutrals, the best view is likely to be from the seated stand or central pitchside rail. More vocal home support may gather around the covered standing and bar/fan-zone side depending on the fixture. Away supporters should buy through their own club only if a segregated allocation is announced.
Supporters should follow standard ground regulations and any fixture-specific instructions issued by AFC Whyteleafe or the host venue at Flamingo Park. This includes respecting stewarding, keeping gangways and access routes clear, and not bringing pyrotechnics, alcohol from outside, glass, offensive banners or items likely to cause disruption.
Because Flamingo Park is part of a wider sports and leisure site, visitors should be considerate around the car park, clubhouse, fan-zone areas and neighbouring users of the complex. Children should be supervised around the pitchside rail and any goal/play areas.
Dogs, smoking/vaping rules, bag searches and bar access should be checked against the latest matchday guidance for the specific fixture. Ground-share arrangements can mean rules are enforced by the host venue rather than the tenant club, so do not rely on older Church Road habits when visiting AFC Whyteleafe in 2026/27.
Flamingo Park is a modern ground and is generally more accessible than many older non-league venues. The site has level access around key spectator areas, modern toilets and clubhouse facilities, and on-site parking, although blue badge or accessible parking should be checked with the club before travelling.
Wheelchair users and supporters with reduced mobility should contact AFC Whyteleafe or the host venue in advance for the most suitable entrance, parking advice and viewing position. The seated stand and pitchside areas should offer practical options, but exact stewarding arrangements may vary depending on whether the match is segregated.
Public transport users with mobility needs should plan carefully. New Eltham is the nearest practical rail station area, but the final approach to Flamingo Park involves a walk towards the A20/Sidcup By-Pass side, so a taxi from the station may be the easier option for some supporters.
AFC Whyteleafe do not advertise regular public stadium tours at Flamingo Park. As this is a ground-share venue rather than their permanent traditional home, formal tours are unlikely to be part of the normal matchday offer.
Supporters wanting to see more of the ground should arrive early on a matchday when the clubhouse and spectator areas are open. Any special access, community open days or venue events would need to be checked directly with AFC Whyteleafe or Flamingo Park/Cray Wanderers rather than assumed as a standard stadium tour.
