“As promised, I have spoken with Mid Sussex District Council, and although we have not yet reached a final resolution, we have agreed that our future is not at risk in the interim. Meanwhile, we are continuing our discussions.

“We will continue to review the situation and provide the Council with the information they have asked for.”

I’m pleased to have opened this dialogue with the Council to alleviate our serious concerns that the current crisis might have forced us to close down. We will continue to review the situation and provide the Council with the information they have asked for. We are also still pursuing a number of other avenues to try to ensure we will be ready, willing and able to get going as soon as football returns.

Thank you again for your backing and I know that with the great support you have all given the Club, both now and in the past, we will get through this.

Keep safe and please respect the lockdown and social distancing guidelines.”
