and live on Freeview channel 276
The club is currently seeking planning permission for the proposals from Horsham District Council.
The current clubhouse at the football club’s grounds at The Kings Field, Northcroft, was built as a ‘temporary’ building in 1900 and is now said to be ‘dilapidated and creaking at the seams’ with just basic cooking facilities.
Repairs are said to be not economically viable.

It is hoped the building could also include a community workspace for The Henfield Shed - which helps people develop practical skills along with traditional and modern crafts.
The shed’s current site is said to be too small.
