The Adam Hinshelwood era commences by welcoming Robbie Savage’s Forest Green Rovers to the Sussex Transport Community Stadium in the FA Cup Fourth Round Qualifying Stage.
With a place in the First Round Proper at stake, tomorrow promises to be a mouth-watering occasion. Both teams will find out their potential opponent in the next round prior to kick-off with the First Round Draw being held live in our 1886 Lounge, in partnership with Jones & Tomlin.
To add to the grandiosity of tomorrow’s clash, the match will also be televised live on TNT Sports 1.
Please note, kick-off is scheduled for 7:30pm, not the typical 7:45pm.
There will be no segregation in place between home and away supporters for the match, meaning all open facilities are accessible to all supporters. Worthing FC expects both sets of supporters to respect one and other to ensure the occasion isn’t tarnished.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to tomorrow’s opponents, Forest Green Rovers, being a National League side, the consumption of alcohol is not permitted in view of the pitch for tomorrow.
There will be a sweep of the ground before kick-off to ensure supporters are abiding by these rules.
No one is permitted outside the stand bar or FanZone with alcohol from when the gates open at 5:30pm.
