Appeal for help issued after storms hit third Sussex football club

Chairman Jack Stapley has asked for public help in raising funds after several parts of the East Sussex village team's facilities were hit.

We have previously reported on how Pagham were the first football club in Sussex to be hit by Storm Eunice - losing their main stand roof and much of the stand's structure itself. Shoreham FC have also been hit.

He said: Westfield Fc are in need of help to rebuild parts of the ground after storm damage.

"We turned up Saturday to see both dugouts had been dismantled, fencing around the changing room had been felled, and the ball-stop net had been ripped.

Earlier in week we published dramatic pictures showing how Shoreham FC had suffered their own dose of storm damage.

"Three poles had been taken out of the ground and snapped and there has been damage to the roof of the home changing room and referee's room from fallen trees and branches.

Crawley Town's trip to Salford is fruitless in the storms.

"This really is something that we hadn’t planned for and with money already tight at the club, we asking for the goodwill of people to help us to rebuild."
