Victory at last for Horsham FC!
at 23:17 21 Mar 2017

Hi folks,
A couple of years ago I asked for your support in helping Horsham Football Club secure a new home, after our move from the old Queen Street ground on which Horsham and Swansea fought out a 1-1 draw in the 2nd round of the FA Cup (remember the rain and the mud that night?). Sadly our initial application was rejected by our local council but I am delighted to say that tonight, in front of the same councillors, the club has won a landslide vote of 19 to 1 in favour of the new ground, thus ensuring an exciting future for Horsham FC. It's no exaggeration to say that, had the decision gone against us, the club would undoubtedly go out of business within the next couple of years. So this message is to thank every man Jack of you for supporting us in this application. It really does mean so much.
Regards

Horsham FC would love your support
at 21:36 10 Mar 2014

Hi everyone, Horsham FC fan from the Ryman League here looking for your support. Some of you may remember our two sides meeting in the FA Cup in 2007 (in fact I think the replay was the first FA Cup tie to be staged at the Liberty). Certainly none of our supporters will ever forget the day, especially the warm welcome we were given by everyone that we met and I hope that those of you present at our very soggy Queen Street were treated to something similar in the first match. Anyway, that was the last season in which we played at our much-loved old ground and we have been groundsharing ever since while trying to find a suitable site in which to build a new home.
We have now settled on a site and no stone has been left unturned in making sure all the correct measures have been taken to minimise impact on the area, as well as the installation of two 3G pitches that can be used for the whole community. Unfortunately there are many who are looking to railroad our plans by protesting online and in the local papers and that's where we'd like your help. The club has set up an e-petition where supporters can back our campaign to establish a brand new, yet modest, new ground on the fringes of town and we'd love it if you could sign up in support. As I write this, we are closing in on 450 messages of support in just under 24hrs, outnumbering the protestors by 4 to 1. If you could spare a few minutes to register your support for our small club, we would be eternally grateful.
The petition can be found at http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/head-of-planning-home-for-horsham-fc#.
Thanks folks, and all the best for the rest of the season.
