A Message to the Lingfield Community: Help Us Save Our Football Club!

Lingfield Football Club has been a part of our community for over 130 years, but we now find ourselves in a precarious situation. We’ve been unable to play at our home ground for the past two seasons due to the drainage and severe weather conditions. A generous grant of £230,000 has been secured to install new drainage to the entire field, but ironically, the weather has once again defeated us, and this vital work cannot commence until spring.

This leaves us in a difficult position: we have no home ground or funds to sustain us through the season. Each match for our first team and under-23s costs £500 just to kick off, and without gate income or bar revenue, we are struggling to make ends meet.

Simply put, we’re fighting to keep the club afloat. If we can survive this season, we’ll be back at home next year, generating our own funds and continuing to serve the community as we always have. We’re reaching out to everyone who has played, volunteered, or even just enjoyed a match or two with us over the years. Now is the time to give back if you can.
 
To help raise the necessary funds, we’re holding an event at the club on Saturday, 2nd November. Tickets are just £10, and whether you can attend or not, buying a ticket or two will make a huge difference. Your children or grandchildren may play here one day, and your support now will ensure that the club is still here for future generations. Big or small, your contribution will help us see this season through.

Thank you,
Lingfield FC
