We’re now just two weeks out from the start of the league season when Worthing heads to Weston-super-Mare on the opening day. Between then and now are three more pre-season friendlies for Chris Agutter’s side, including tomorrow’s short trip to Whitehawk.
It’s another Sussex-based Isthmian Premier Division for the Reds who come into this one off the back of wins against Chichester City and Lewes. Tommy Willard scored the goal at The Dripping Pan from the penalty spot as the Rebels made it successive pre-season wins last time out.
Whitehawk finished 9th in the Isthmian Premier Division last term, one position and two points behind last week’s opponents Lewes.
The sides faced off against each other last season in the Emirates FA Cup. Jake Robinson’s brace that day earned Worthing the victory.

Directions
By Road: As the traffic into the centre of Brighton on the A23 can be quite slow at times, the the route outlined below avoids this.
At the end of the M23, continue onto the A23, heading towards Brighton. At the roundabout which is the junction with the A27, take the A27 towards Lewes. After around four miles you will see the stadium on your right-hand side. Leave at the A27 and take the slip road sign posted Falmer/Rottingdean (B2123). At the top of the slip road turn right, crossing back over the A27. Continue straight towards Rottingdean passing the Amex stadium on your right.
On reach a set of traffic lights which is the Woodingdean Junction, turn right by the Downs Hotel, towards the City Centre/Racecourse. At the next traffic lights turn left into Wilson Avenue (signposted East Brighton Park). After passing the entrance to the Stanley Leisure Centre, continue further down the hill and then take a left onto a narrow road (signposted East Brighton Park/Camping). Follow the narrow road round, passing an entrance to a caravan park and the ground entrance, is around to the right.
There is a car park at the ground that holds 100 cars and the entrance road up to the ground is quite narrow. So it may be an idea to find one street parking on the residential streets off Wilson Avenue and walk over to the ground.
By Rail: Brighton Central Railway Station is situated around two and half miles away from the ground. Either get a taxi or bus up to the ground.
To take a bus; then from the Stance B stop at the railway station, take the Brighton and Hove Bus Company No 7 (towards Brighton Marina) or 27 (towards Saltdean) to Roedean Road (ask the driver to drop you off on this road near the Marina). After being dropped off, walk up Roedean Road to the traffic lights (keeping the gas pylon on your right) and turn left into Wilson Avenue. Then take the next right into a narrow road (signposted East Brighton Park/Camping). Follow the narrow road round, passing an entrance to a caravan park and the ground entrance, is around to the right. Please take care along this road as it has no footpath and at night it is unlit. A Bus Timetable can be downloaded from the Brighton & Hove Bus website.
