rane our first game until we have tried and tested all aspects of facility from playing on the pitches to pouring a pint in the bar and ensuring there is hot water in the showers. This in itself will take time but get ready to move home games from Lancing by around mid season. I can't wait !!

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to what we hope isn’t our final ‘home’ match here at Lancing. Not because we’re not relishing the prospect of moving into our brand new stadium (far from it!) but if the players were to run out here again this season it would be because they have secured a home semi-final tie in the promotion play-offs. Our entertaining victory at Herne Bay last Saturday means we are assured of a top five finish but the aim now is to tie down second or third spot to secure home advantage, something that would be achieved with a win this afternoon. However, we come up against a Faversham Town side who have their own reasons for wanting a result as they sit just one place and five points above the bottom two with just three games remaining. The likelihood is that it would take a surprising set of results for The Lilywhites’ nine year spell in the Isthmian League to come to an end but they will be hopeful of taking a positive result from their visit today to avoid an uncomfortable final week. Hopefully they will have brought a good number of supporters with them from Kent so, to them and everyone associated with the club, we wish you all a very pleasant stay with us and a safe journey home this evening. Since beating Sevenoaks here three weeks ago, we have enjoyed two terrific results on our travels with a fantastic 6-1 defeat of Sittingbourne, our highest away from home in the Isthmian League since the 7-0 victory at Ashford in March 2006, and that narrow 3-2 success at Herne Bay where we showed great character after being twice pegged back by the home side.
