Sutton United has warned fair-weather fans about unofficial merchandise sellers ahead of the club’s FA Cup fifth round clash with Premier League Arsenal.

Five thousand fans will pack out The U’s Gander Green Lane ground for the game with Gunners at 7.55pm on Monday, February 20.

Shock scalps of fellow south-west Londoners AFC Wimbledon and Championship side Leeds United have prompted an unprecedented interest in Paul Doswell’s National League side.

And ahead of Monday night's big game, unofficial half-and-half scarves, hats and other cold-weather merchandise is being sold in Sutton High Street.

But Sutton has warned fans not to buy from the High Street vendors. The club has its own store at Gander Green Lane and online.

The club tweeted: Please note! These sellers in the High Street are NOT official or connected to SUFC.”
