Clubs had until 10am on Wednesday 17 July to submit any fixture re-arrangement paperwork, within seven days of fixtures being released. The decision to re-arrange the fixture was not taken lightly by the club, but with the construction work on the new North Stand ongoing and a tight deadline needing to be met, this was the safest solution.

Whilst the club is disappointed to have to wait a couple of weeks longer for the first home match of the new season, we are pleased that we can still host all 23 league matches at the Sussex Transport Community Stadium in 2024/25, now starting with the visit of Hornchurch on Saturday 7 September.

Chief Operating Officer Keith Mitchell added, “We would have loved to have made the bank holiday fixture v Truro our first home fixture of the season. The recent bout of poor weather has pressured what was already a very tight schedule to complete the required work and obtain the necessary safety sign-offs and certifications for the new North stand”.

“The club would like to thank fans for their understanding and patience in waiting for our first home match. I am sure with the new stand and improved facilities in place by the 7th September, it will have been worth the wait”

Details on travel and tickets for the Truro City trip will be announced in due course.
