Rymans League
Nov. 30 | East Grinstead is a strange old place. Sitting on the border of Kent and Sussex it has been home to many famous people, drawn to the town by the peace and quiet, the sweeping South Downs and the country pubs with roaring fires. Winston Churchill retired...
Nov. 27 | A few weeks ago, Lewes visited FA Cup giant killers Harlow Town and came away with a shock of their own after the Ryman League One North side came from two goals down to win three-two in the FA Trophy. Today we were on the road again to another club whose...
Nov. 24 | Can you think of anywhere better to spend a Tuesday night than in Thurrock? We are not talking about Lakeside, Thurrock here, with its huge cathedral worshipping the credit card gods, nor the Thameside Thurrock with its container ships bringing exotic...

New club tie – check
I was ready. After the false start on Saturday I was making my “proper” debut as a director. I was ready to press the flesh, making small talk with my fellow...
Oct. 30 |
It had been quite a week for me and Lewes FC. On Thursday morning the first copies of Dripping Yarns rolled off the press and into the shops, and then a few hours later I was voted onto the Board. Unfortunately I was busy dining with the likes of...
Oct. 19 | Crawley is a swear word in Non League terms. The funny thing is that this is a relatively recent situation. In fact only three years ago when I last visited the Broadfield Stadium the “old” Crawley, the one that had risen from the ashes...
