Burgess Hill Town return home to unveil new pitch and facilities at Leylands Park - picture special

After several months of non-stop work, Burgess Hill Town FC have unveiled their new pitch and off-field facilities.

The new-look Leylands Park – now known as The Medical Travel Compared Stadium – was packed as the revamp was celebrated ahead of their home Isthmian premier division clash with Folkestone Invicta.

Hill’s new facilities seemed popular with fans – even if the result wasn’t. Invicta didn’t read the script and ran out 3-2 winners despite goals from Chris Whelpdale and Martyn Box making it 2-2 after the visitors had gone 2-0 up.

Our photogapher Steve Robards was there to capture the occasion and you can see his pictures on this page and those linked – and his video from the afternoon in the video player above.

The new pitch and fan facilities get another run-out on Tuesday night when Town welcome Carshalton for their next league game. See coverage of Hill’s big day in the Mid Sussex Times – out on Thursday.
