It was a great season and sort of unexpected (although I refuse not to call it Leylands Park after 16 years of following the club). Narrowly missed out on a playoff spot last season and the manager said he wanted to make the playoffs this season, but no one really realised that the handful of signings he made would elevate the club so much. Unbeaten in the league til February I think and with Greg Luer starting to find his potential (and therefore getting snapped up by Hull who loaned him out to Port Vale) the club stormed it. The signings they've made for next season look reasonably ambitious too so I reckon they'll stay up in the Ryman Prem.

Anyway, sorry to the OP for digressing from the Worthing based thread.

The Burgess Hill manager is Ian Chapman and I think he is the youngest player to play for Brighton - He was 16 when he made his debut.

Good to hear he's a good guy. When he was with us I always told him to keep his chin up, even when his team mates were getting at him. A player who I'd wish well wherever he went. Although I'd say the same about Piper and Berry as well.

Nice to know thgere is a fellow Palace fan in Worthing.
I was looking at maybe starting to follow the Rebels when Palace are not playing.
So I will probably start with a donation

There's quite a lot of us in Worthing, even before the premier league. The trains to and from games always have quite a few on.
The amount required to do up the stand has now been reached, so get along to Woodside road, if Palace aren't playing i'll probably be there and there will be a Palace shirt on display courtesy of one of my kids.
