Old Rutlishians’ Sports Ground

If you’re stuck in a Rut, come and see the Rutlishians. They’re de-​lish.
First-​Hand Experience: Unilocal asked me to include more information about my personal experience at this stadium, and basically, I’ve used these facilities and they were fairly good. I was a soccer player in the UK on and off when I was there for the last 15 or 20 years, and while this doesn’t rank alongside the best fields I’ve used, it’s up to par and well-​maintained and on the outskirts of London, near where my parents used to live.
The only part of these facilities I ever used was the soccer (footy) field. It was a pretty standard field, with good grass and nice changing rooms. It definitely felt like a private school and not a public place. It’s way out in Morden. It wasn’t the best place I ever played football, but the facilities are just fine.

The Old Ruts or Old Rutlishians to give it its full name is a Sports Ground and Assocation located on Poplar Road, Merton Park. It comprises of a club house, a bar with SKY TV, pool tables, changing rooms, a function hall, squash courts, a football pitch, rugby pitch and cricket field and nets for use all year round.
You have to be a member for a lot of the facilities and preference is given to men who used to attend Rutlish Boys school on nearby Watery Lane, SW20. The assocation runs mini-​rugby for kids on a Sunday morning and cricket in the summer for children too.
Women are welcome and they sometimes use their large field for events. The Old Ruts is a Old boy assoication.
