About Dorking Wanderers

Dorking Wanderers Football Club is based in Dorking, Surrey, and plays at Meadowbank. Formed in 1999, the club rose rapidly through the non-league pyramid and reached the National League in 2022 before later returning to National League South.

They relocated to the refurbished Meadowbank community facility in July 2018. Wikipedia lists official capacity of 3,000 after 2020 works, with an additional uncovered west terrace of about 1,200 opened in March 2023; the club’s commercial pages have also cited a higher figure.
