SEAFORD TOWN FC CELEBRATE FOOTBALL FUNDING SUCCESS
The Football Stadia Improvement Fund (FSIF), supporters of the Football Foundation, and the largest funder of non league football in the country, today announced a grant of £17,019 to Seaford Town Football Club. The Club has also received a similar amount from Viridor Credits Environmental Company. These awards will enable the Club to construct a new, state of the art spectator stand at the Crouch ground, where they first played in the 1920s. The remaining funding comes from a revitalised club fundraising initiative and a grant from Seaford Town Council.

Over £90m has already been invested by the Football Stadia Improvement Fund since its launch in July 2000, funding lower league ground improvements throughout professional and amateur game, creating a safe and modern environment for fans and players to enjoy the game. Viridor Credits provided grants totalling over £6m in 2008 alone, supporting a range of community based projects nationally.

Paul Thorogood, Chief Executive of the Football Stadia Improvement Fund and Football Foundation, said: “On behalf of the Football Stadia Improvement Fund I am delighted to be able to award this grant to Seaford Town F C. “A vibrant community team is vital for the future of football. The Football Stadia Improvement Fund’s aim is to revolutionise funding for the grass roots in the same way the professional game has been transformed over the last ten years. I pay a particular tribute to the hard work and dedication to all at the club for making this funding a reality.”

Mick Webster, Seaford Town Chairman said this was great news for the Football Club and for Seaford and that he was extremely grateful to both the FSIF and Viridor Credits for their generous backing and to Seaford Town Council for their support. This new stand, which has been needed for many years, is vital for the club’s future development, not only for League and FA requirements but also in attracting and retaining young players from the local community. It will also provide more comfortable and protected viewing for a range of supporters and visiting spectators including disabled.
