The club are members of the Southern Counties East League Premier Division and play at Holm Park. The club is affiliated to the Kent County Football Association and is an FA Charter Standard club.
context_section_description: Since being reformed in 2010, Sheppey United have attracted their best support since the 1970s. Crowds of 250–300 are typical with attendances of 500+ not unheard of. The club set an attendance record for the Kent Invicta League of 718 for a game against Glebe. Sheppey supporters also follow their club away from home in increasing numbers and most of Sheppey's league rivals have their highest home attendance of the season when they host Sheppey. Such is the nature of Sheppey's away support that, on numerous occasions, the team hosting Sheppey have gone on their official social media accounts to praise it.
  A growing rivalry with Sittingbourne has once again developed as Sheppey have progressed through the non-league pyramid to stand only 1 division below their oldest rivals as of the current season. As well as a revival of the Sittingbourne rivalry Sheppey United have developed good ties with the supporters of Ashford United, Fisher and Tunbridge Wells with supporters of each club often watching one of the other 3 clubs when their side is not playing.
  The club's support is also known for the variety of its songs with songs about the club, current players, Sittingbourne and self-mocking songs appropriating insults that have been aimed at the residents of the Isle Of Sheppey by 'mainlanders' over the years among the fan's repertoire.
  The club now have an independent supporter's association whose aim is to increase the number of people attending Sheppey games and working with the club to support its "Built from the community for the community" ethos.
