The Hornets are honoured to have been named the recipients of this prestigious award.

In response to the news, Horsham CEO John Lines – who was instrumental in securing the Hornets’ long-awaited return to the town after 11 years in exile – said: “Our grateful thanks to Groundtastic magazine for the coveted award.

“The Camping World Community Stadium for Horsham Football Club has been a long time coming.

“Having been forced to vacate our iconic Queen Street ground in 2008, and after a long battle with the local authorities, we are proud to be able to show what can be done with patience, perseverance and great supporters to back us up.”
