FROM BOGNOR REGIS TOWN FC WEBSITE:

Bognor's Sussex Senior Cup semi-final showdown with Brighton U23s at Nyewood Lane tomorrow has been postponed and rescheduled due to an "unprecedented" catalogue of injuries for the Rocks.

Jack Pearce's depleted squad dwindled further after the 3-3 Bostik Premier division draw at Enfield Town with defender Keaton Wood, striker Jimmy Wild and winger Mason Walsh all picking up knocks.

Keeper Dan Lincoln is already sidelined along with Jimmy Muitt, Calvin Davies, Doug Tuck and Gary Charman while Harvey Whyte is away and Ed Sanders, Joe Tomlinson and Joe Bennett are all cup-tied. And Leon Maloney has been recalled by Pompey for an U23 game.

Pearce explained: "It's unprecedented situation. We are extremely thankful to both Brighton and the Sussex County FA for their understanding and help in overcoming the current difficulties."

The rescheduled fixture will take place at Culver Road, Lancing on Tuesday 9 April with a 7.15pm kick-off.

But that doesn't explain why it's been switched to Lancing. SSC Semies aren't usually on neutral grounds, are they?

Yes, they have been in recent years. This tie was originally scheduled to be at Culver Road until Albion asked for a postponement because they couldn't field a team from their squad of 47 contracted professionals not out on loan, plus 18 scholars. Culver Road was not available on the new date, so it was switched to Nyewood Lane. Now the date has changed for a second time, it has been switched back to Culver Road.
