Following a scheduled Meeting on Monday evening, the Board of Directors met with Kevin Keehan on Tuesday to discuss the season so far.

It was agreed by all parties that results have been disappointing and that some changes will be required to improve the team’s poor form. As a result, Kevin Keehan is looking to strengthen the playing squad in key areas and equally, the Board of Directors are looking to raise more funds via commercial activity.

The Board of Directors remain confident that Kevin Keehan will be able to move the Club forward and that he realises the enormity of the challenge that faces Lewes FC at this level.

Following regrettably inaccurate speculation on both the radio and in print about this season’s budget, the Board of Directors wish to confirm that the Playing Budget for this season is approximately 35% less than it was for last season. There will be no further comments from the Board on this subject.

The Board of Directors continue to plan for a long-term and sustainable future for the Club and hope that results improve in the near future.

It is worth reflecting that the Club and supporters have enjoyed remarkable success in recent years, finishing within the top 4 places in 8 out of the last 10 years and progressing from Ryman Division 3 to the BSP in the space of 7 seasons.

We will be continuing to support Kevin Keehan and his team in this difficult season and hope that all supporters of Lewes FC will do the same.
