A football club that was too ambitious (Darlington)
(Preview)
Just seen this on the BBC site. The old Darlington FC built a 25,000 seater stadium in 2003, however the club went out of business eight years later. Nowadays the stadium is used by a rugby club with a home gate of just 800. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-25505385

Automatic Promotion?
(Preview)
It is still possible but I think that a Play Off place is more realistic. Last season Whitehawk won the league and only lost 4 Games all season,and when we won the league back in 2002 we only lost 5 Games. In fact over the last 14 years from leagues that we have been in the "Average" amount of game...

Saturday : Hastings United- Burgess Hill Town
(Preview)
I think this will be a '' pay back '' match against a side who just is in a flow of winning games. The derby yesterday against Worthing gave the home side a easy 4-1 victory. They won their last 4 games including a cup game against Lewes. And Hastings ? It will be a very tough game and hopefully the team will r...

If the weather and pitch conditions are Ok today we play against the number 21 of the table Chipstead. They lost their last 2 home games against Hythe 2-3 and Three Bridges 3-4. They have a remarkable goal difference of 40-55 ! So they scored more goals then we did but have the worst defense in the League s...

As well as that they are one of only three teams unbeaten this season, the others being Maids...

When I think back to our first Fa Cup game this season it's been like riding the crest of a wave all capped off with a gentle landing on the beach after yesterday's long trip. I've never been to a game been, beaten 4-1 and come home very happy but i did yesterday and i'm certain all of the 1068 who travelled up...

A year ago today we played in front of live TV cameras and 4028 supporters. It'd be great to see a quarter of those back on match days. A great experience non the less and so glad to be part of it all.

Rye-Littlehampton

Good entertainment at Rye this PM where 2 decent sides played an eventful game which ended 2-0 to Rye. Rye were down to 9 men when they scored their second goal from a penalty decision which resulted in a Littlehampton player being sent off. Ade, as expected, was a real handful for the Littlehampton def...
