Draw for the next round of the Sussex Senior Cup made on Radio Sussex during half time of tonights game. Away to Old Varndeanians. Dig out that poncho for a trip down memory lane...

Think it’s just Varndinians nowadays. If I have nothing else on I might go and watch that for old times sake.

I don’t see the poor old V’s doing a Steyning, have had a rough year or so of results
Is it operated by B&H Council by any chance?

Have they announced a date for this?

Please don't go naked, at the very least wear your old poncho.
Visited three or four times with Horsham YMCA when they have played Varndeanians at Withdean. Be prepared to come away disappointed at the sorry state of the place, it's looking very run down and in need of a lot of tlc.

I'm an old Varndeanian. Might take my boots.
I'm gutted, we (Arundel FC) lost 3 v 5 to Varndinians in the last round!

I still 
the Withdean. Most of my fondest moments as an Albion fan were there, even to this day.
It was a shit hole, but it was a unique shit hole. It was the place where the Albion came home to, and against all odds, won more things than during any other period in its history.

You’re seen the Albion…..

Your support is not that great
Has it definitely been ruled out as a potential site for the women's stadium due to the incompatibility of football and athletics operating in the same place?

Don't think it's been ruled out at all. Ultimately the women's stadium won't host a colossal amount of games a season so it would be good for it to have another use.
An advantage is that a fair amount of it is already there- pitch, 1 stand, floodlights, changing rooms etc. obviously a downside is the running track

Would love it to be Withdean, I’d be local resident in favour. But can’t see them building a 10k stadium in such a residential area
