Farnborough are based at Cherrywood Road and carry forward the football identity of the town after the collapse of the old Farnborough Town. Boro have a strong Hampshire non-league history, FA Cup memories and regular Step 2 ambitions.
The Saunders Transport Community Stadium on Cherrywood Road is Farnborough's home and one of the larger, more developed grounds in the National League South. It has a capacity of around 6,500 and a layout that reflects Farnborough's years at higher levels of non-league football.
The John O'Hara Stand on the east side is fully covered and provides the main seated accommodation, including family areas. The Moor Road End is a substantial covered terrace and is used for away supporters when matches are segregated. The Prospect Road End and other areas add further standing accommodation around the ground.
For neutral supporters, the seated East Stand gives the best comfort and side-on view. Those who prefer a terrace atmosphere may enjoy the standing areas, although access can depend on segregation. The ground feels bigger and more complete than many Step 2 venues.
