    Hi everyone, Horsham FC fan from the Ryman League here looking for your support. Some of you may remember our two sides meeting in the FA Cup in 2007 (in fact I think the replay was the first FA Cup tie to be staged at the Liberty). Certainly none of our supporters will ever forget the day, especially the warm welcome we were given by everyone that we met and I hope that those of you present at our very soggy Queen Street were treated to something similar in the first match. Anyway, that was the last season in which we played at our much-loved old ground and we have been groundsharing ever since while trying to find a suitable site in which to build a new home.
    We have now settled on a site and no stone has been left unturned in making sure all the correct measures have been taken to minimise impact on the area, as well as the installation of two 3G pitches that can be used for the whole community. Unfortunately there are many who are looking to railroad our plans by protesting online and in the local papers and that's where we'd like your help. The club has set up an e-petition where supporters can back our campaign to establish a brand new, yet modest, new ground on the fringes of town and we'd love it if you could sign up in support. As I write this, we are closing in on 450 messages of support in just under 24hrs, outnumbering the protestors by 4 to 1. If you could spare a few minutes to register your support for our small club, we would be eternally grateful.
    The petition can be found at http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/head-of-planning-home-for-horsham-fc#.
    Thanks folks, and all the best for the rest of the season



    (from another Swans site - thought it was a worthwhile cause)

    I remember that soggy pitch, It was a Friday night with the game on Sky, got bloody soaked. It was a cracking atmosphere and a real grass roots club.

    This club needs all our support, do support them lads.

    Will duly sign and put on another forum, so more support can be gained. Hope the outcome is fruitful. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    I have full sympathy for horsham and hope they get what they want but i don't think anyone who don't live in the area's signature will count for anything. People outside have no relevance in these sort of matters and therefore only local people have the right to vote what goes on in their patch....From a moral point i wish i could help but outsiders are irrelevant and wont be counted...good luck..
