Although there was a certain amount of healthy scepticism from the original activists when the takeover was announced I can confirm that the people I am still in touch with from those days believe that the new owners have the club's best interests at heart - and the vast majority of the Wrexham...
AFC Southwick, unbeaten at our temporary Whitehawk home so far, there tomorrow 2pm v Westfield in the Mid Sussex League. Punk/ska/reggae PA, beer,food, warm welcome.
I am just flabbergasted at the coincidence that this has happened to USG, whom I used to watch with a gaggle of punks during my time playing bass in @Contingent in Brussels more than 40 years ago.
Could never give up on the Albion but hate what modern football has become. Irresistible force, immovable object. When Southwick FC finally collapsed after more than a decade of disgusting neglect and I was asked to help with a new club I realised I could have my cake and eat it with the Albion...
Old Barn Way will be redeveloped as a community academy by the Russell Martin Foundation. It's going to take a while to get all the grants etc in place, and we have two years agreed sharing with Whitehawk for starters, the aim being to be back in the pyramid from whence the old club came (one...
AFC Southwick 3, Lindfield 2 at Whitehawk including an incredible banana inswinger corner goal from midfield maestro Ross Myers. Crowd of about 40 at our developing project included a bloke actually from Manchester who supported Man U and came because of the Rangnick connection, a lady from...
I don't know much about cricket but it's a pretty astonishing coincidence that there are two Aussies called Travis Head, one who is awful playing for Sussex and the other who scores a 100 in the Ashes :)
AFC Southwick (home of Gegenpressing :) ) at Jarvis Brook, k.o.1.30pm in the Mid Sussex league Premier on our way back to Step 6 of the pyramid with goals like this last minute winner last week from rising star Archie Russell

I haven't EVER watched a match sitting down in the North Stand. Literally, not one. Ever. Neither have many of you :)
It was part of the original deal we old BISA warriors negotiated before the stadium was actually finished. I remember Martin Perry saying 'Of course, the ruffians in the North...
I think we should announce that we've decided we're a big club now, Mr Potter has a contract and he's staying.
More to the point, I think it eminently possible that he may want to stay and see this project through.
If it was money, it'd be Newcastle and it won't be.
If it was 'success' it'd be...
It's the St Pauli of East Germany: lots of left wingers, punk and beer! Seriously great bunch. I've done a gig for 'em.
(So to a slightly lesser extent incidentally, are Union St Gilloise, now linked with us through Mr Bloom, whom I watched quite a times while playing in a band in Brussels.)...
I cannot believe that such a clever, personable man would touch the Saudis' billions with a barge pole.
The fact that the deal went through at all is beyond belief.
