Burgess Hill Town Football Club's future secure

Agreement has been reached between landowners Mid Sussex District Council and directors of Burgess Hill Town Football Club (BHTFC), which should ensure that Rymans League football continues at Leylands Park, Burgess Hill next season.

Burgess Hill Town Football Club chairman Kevin Newell and fellow director Clive Dryden met with Cllr Gordon Marples, Leader of Mid Sussex District Council, Cllr Garry Wall, cabinet member for Leisure and Outdoor Services and senior council officers to discuss a way forward for the club.

The discussions, driven by the urgent need for the club to be able to confirm to the Ryman League that it will be in a position to fulfil its fixtures next year, were frank and constructive.
