Going home! Sidley United FC make big announcement

The club's new home at Gunters Lane will see the Blues first team back playing permanently in Sidley for the first time in just under 10 years since the loss of their former home at The Gullivers. This will bring an added boost to the community seeing the return of their team.

The club wishes to thank Bexhill College who have given us this opportunity to be back where we belong. We look forward to working alongside them and Bexhill Rovers FC, who will share the pitch, for the upcoming season. The club would also like to pay particular thanks to The Heart of Sidley for their ongoing backing and financial support which has helped the club successfully resume playing in the town.

First team joint manager Mark Linch commented: "Everyone at the club is delighted to be playing in Sidley once again and we hope this will help attract more local supporters who will be able to follow the club throughout the season".

Clare Cole, Bexhill College's Director of Sport, commented: "It's great for us to be able to support local long-standing clubs, such as Sidley United, and we look forward to seeing them play there this season."

The club welcomes new and existing players to pre-season training every Thursday at 6.45pm at Gunters Lane. Sidley United will have two teams in the East Sussex Football League who will compete in the Premier Division and Division Two. The club also welcomes contact from those who wish to get involved in all aspects of the club, be it playing or behind the scenes.
