Non League Day

[carlzeiss]

I was at Woodside Road for the first time on Saturday and was also impressed with the set up. Great ending to the game. Having only very recently moved to Worthing I felt obliged to watch at least one game of my now 'local' team and I will definitely be going back.

Oh - and what's the Rebels/Mackerels all about? Haven't they always been the Rebels?

From wickipedia , looks like a re-branding from George Dowell .

The club was formed as Worthing Association Football Club (a name that lasted until 1899) in February 1886 and played friendlies and Sussex Senior Cup ties for the first few years of their existence.

In 1896 the club became founding members of the West Sussex Football League, joining the Senior Division.[1] During their time in the West Sussex league they were league champions on seven occasions. In May 1900 the club absorbed local rivals Worthing Athletic and a year later moved to its current home, then known as the Sports Ground, now as Woodside Road. In 1905 another rival team, Worthing Rovers, was also absorbed.

The club's intriguing nickname of "The Rebels" dates from when it resigned from the West Sussex League over a rule change, prior to becoming a founder member of the Sussex County League in 1920. Previously Worthing had been known as "The Mackerel Men": a reference to the fish on the club crest.

Lots of teams there - but there never seems to be any mention of a Polegate football club whenever Sussex football is discussed. Do they still have one? Used to watch them (resplendent in their Melchester Rovers - red and yellow - kit) quite regularly on The Rec in the 50s when I lived there. They usually seemed to win back then...................

I went to see Morecambe drop to the bottom of the EFL. They’ll be non-league next season.

 

[Ludensian Gull]

Travelled to Barwell to watch Leiston get hammered again. 22 games without a league win, 90% of the young team were playing step 6 last season and finding it tough at step 3. Two home games this week so hoping for a point or two

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I thought the same, the fact that his manager was having a pop at the ref at half time was unbelievable, I'm guessing he'll get a write up in the match report and a ban to boot

And they wonder why their is a shortage of referees?

Hope you enjoyed one of their award winning pies though . . . or two!

Hope you visited the statue of the greatest British comedian ever on the sea front plus there is a bizarre Polo Tower there

Polegate Town FC play in the Mid Sussex League.
First Team in the Championship, 2nds in Div 3.
Home games are played at the War Memorial Recreation Ground in Wannock Road.

We did. Can’t say it was that brilliant though. Was quite average.

Statue yes. And we had a photo taken copying the pose. We strolled around the prom and went for a drink in The Midland Hotel. Didn’t see the tower though.
