History
December 1st, 2009Lindfield Football Club - Founded in 1898
Lindfield FC is one of the longest established amateur football clubs in Sussex. LFC's home has always been in the picturesque village of Lindfield and has established over the many years a long history of league and cup success.
The club in the early 90's fielded 3 teams in the Mid Sussex League with approximately 60 players covering all three teams. In the late 90's the club added a 4th team and more recently a 5th team. LFC can proudly boast 5 teams from the Premier league down to Division 10 of the Mid Sussex league. This season (09/10) over 120 players have signed on and are proud to wear the clubs colours of green and white. The club has players coming from as far afield as Portsmouth, London and Brighton to take to the pitch. In the late 90's one young man used to fly in from Holland to play for his beloved club…now that's commitment..!!!
The club has moved forward in other ways which has had a major impact on the clubs local status. One of those developments has been the official linking of LFC to Rymans League club, Burgess Hill Town FC and local youth football club setups, including Southdown Rovers, Burgess Hill Town Youth and Hassocks Youth.
The link with BHTFC has enabled the 1st team this season (09/10) to break from tradition and play their home games at Leylands Park on a Ryman League standard pitch.
The links have allowed players to move between LFC and BHTFC and also provided younger players the opportunity of mens football on the weekends. LFC has a great youth policy with a number of players between the ages of 16 and 18 playing regularly. For a club of LFC's size and stature it is vital to have such a well structured and run youth policy and ambition to drive the club forward in the future.
Off the pitch Lindfield has a very strong dedicated Committee covering all areas of the clubs playing and non-playing activities. The club also organises monthly social events and the Annual end of Season tour. For the past 10 years touring parties have graced the football fields from the US to Spain in various pre arranged tournaments.
LFC is also lucky to have one of the best club facilities in the area through the links with Lindfield Cricket Club and can boast 4 good sized changing rooms and most importantly a well stocked and run bar.
If you are ever around in Lindfield on a Saturday, stop by the Common and watch the mighty Swans in the green and white shirts.
