What sort of side can we get out with all the cup tied players in the squad not being available?

There has been recent recruitment of non cup tied players to bolster the squad

Oh I thought the new players were replacing some of existing squad.

Where do I get tickets for this match? There is absolutely nothing on our webpage.
It's as though they don't want people to go.

It’s amazing the number of people who came to the programme pod yesterday asking how to get tickets. When I explained you could buy them online a number ,especially old fogeys like me , had no idea how to do it. We could buy online but prefer to just turn up and pay on the night.Much simpler especially if you have any doubts that you may not be able to attend.

Sorry for being a bit thick Phil, are you saying I could just turn up on the 8th and get in ?

Yes, it’s slightly dearer but you can just turn up.

Tickets are £12 in advance or £15 on the night. Details are on the Sussex County FA website, link below. The Club has publicised this on social media, but it is stunning that there has been nothing on the official site.

Thanks guys, and thanks Sean for the link, as you say Phil it's tough on us oldies, but I don't do twitface or any others, so thanks again.
Mike

Hello,

If anyone wants any help buying tickets for the final, I will be in the clubhouse from half 1 on Saturday.

You will need:
- a device connected to the internet
- your credit/debit card
- some patience

George (I won't have the drum on me)👍

I saw a sign yesterday saying that the A27 is closed overnight from 7th May for 4 nights at Lewes which may affect travelling home from the AMEX

And small chance of industrial action on trains, with advice to check nearer the time as to which operators will be involved. Flying up from Cornwall to Gatwick so rail disruption would not be good
Tickets seem to be selling well but I do believe that all proceeds go to Sussex FA

Well that was disappointing. Sometimes you just have to hand it to the opposition. Horsham looked really well organised and virtually impossible for us to break down.

Could not agree more, second in every department. Not good enough.

We just didn't turn up, they definitely wanted it way more than us, so disappointed as these opportunities don't come up very often. Also didn't think the gate was that good but I guess that's what people think of this competition.Didn't think much of their organisation skills at the ground, couldn't sit in our seats because someone was already there, when we asked why, we were told, sit anywhere you want, so we found ourselves too close to a rather loud bunch of f ing and cursing singers, bit of a crap night all round really.

Certainly beaten by a considerably better side on the night. Horsham were exceptionally sharp and incisive on the attack, and their defensive set-up as good as stopped us from playing.

They seemed to hold a pretty high line throughout, and squeezed the life out of our midfield, with Tommie Fagg and Sam Adams making no real impact until the closing stages. And their right back appeared to be playing in a very narrow position, preventing us from using those long balls through the middle to John Ufuah as an outlet, a move from which we have scored quite a few goals this season.

Why we didn't try to make more of the space out on the left wing is anyone's guess, and our best chances came when we finally did start taking advantage of that opportunity. Just a shame we were three down by then, with the game already gone.

Outplayed for most of the contest, and perhaps outcoached as well, but the future still looks bright enough, and if Chris can build a settled squad, and achieve the consistency that he craves, next season should hopefully be fun.

Have a good summer, everyone.

Thought we were hoping to repeat our Eastbourne Borough performance, when we didn't really venture forward much but hung on for penalties. But we did have Jack Bates there who gave us a bit more control in midfield when we did have a bit of possession.
