[Football] Favourite Sussex club apart from the Albion?

[Monkey Man]

Eastbourne should be divided into three options: Borough, United and Town.

Might seem pedantic as Borough are the most senior team and get four-figure crowds ... but they're also the youngest, in terms of history. For many years United were a reasonable regional non-league force and had a biggish fanbase. Town have quite a vocal and active fanbase.

Anyone but Crawley.

Dorking Wanderers.

I like Lewes very friendly club good beer and food quite unique location and stadium plastic pitch
Lancing my local club another plastic pitch apparently grass struggles to grow in Sussex
Worthing real grass nice main stand good food and drink easy parking and the footballs not bad as such my alternative favourite Sussex team

Are you sure you’re not muddled there? I don’t know about the others, but Worthing have a 3G pitch.

I have previously spent time watching Crawley before they got into the Football League and have a season ticket for the Brighton women’s team as well as the men’s team.
Having now moved to Worthing, I went to my first game at Woodside Road yesterday and ticked them in the poll.

Lewes had a new pitch and ground improvements last summer, the pitch is definitely not plastic.

I have to say Lewes, I have tried Whitehawk several times, I just don't get a vibe at all.
I should try Worthing again really, last time I went was 1976

Feel the same with Whitehawk. Just don't get the hype. Awful ground well out of the way, small crowds, noisy ultras but about 50 of them (if that) ... all very meh imo

Shoreham would be quote high if included in the poll. Seriously Lancing ?

 

[carlzeiss]

My Dad was taking me to Woodside Road long before our first visit to the Goldstone Ground in 1969 so it will always be Worthing first

Plenty of votes on the poll for ‘other’ which proves teams like mine are yours are popular

Doesn’t Worthing have 4g? Remember they had it laid but the contractors got the drainage wrong and they had to only have away games for a couple of months

The Pussycat Club. I still have some kitty cash from around 25 years ago.

Yes it does I was going to reply Worthing United

 

[zefarelly]

Depending on who’s on a winning run. Plastic

If only I paid that much attention!!!

 

[Pevenseagull]

Sussex CCC.

Am a season ticket holder at AFC Uckfield Town as well as the Albion. Love it down at the Oaks, proper grassroots football. Up the Uckers.

Werving. My spiritual hometown despite being born in Leicester.

I went there for an evening match as my son was playing for Newhaven Under 23s against Uckfield, I could see the floodlights but not the entrance, missed about half an hour of the match.

Yes I got Lewes and Worthing pitches mixed in my head

When I was younger my favourite club was Sherry's in West Street but when I got less mature I was rather fond of Spearmint Rhino.

True, but you will never know the joy of standing and singing "Come on you Dorks!". Which is a most polite song given the "Dorking Seagull".

Its nice to follow a northern team that is a natural parody of that other northern team up Purley way.

Whitehawk I suppose, I played for their junior teams……..a long, long time ago……
