Horsham accuse Crawley over groundshare collapse

Horsham have accused Crawley Town of holding them to ransom over their proposed groundshare at Broadfield Stadium.

The Hornets were hoping to play their home games at Crawley next season but their hopes were scuppered when negotiations collapsed this week.

Horsham must quit Queen Street, which has been their home for 104 years, in the summer after selling it to developers and need a temporary base while their proposed new stadium is built at Holbrook.

The club now face a race against time to find an alternative groundshare before the Ryman League's deadline for ground grading on March 31.

Hornets secretary John Lines said: "Negotiations with Crawley Town FC have ceased following unviable financial demands sought by Crawley Town not previously brought to our attention.

"We are continuing with other proposals and it is hoped an announcement can be made within the next two weeks. Until then, we are unable to make further comment."

Meanwhile, Horsham submitted their planning application yesterday to build their stadium.

Lines added: "I am happy to announce that our application has now been submitted to Horsham District Council and it is with much enthusiasm we go forward."

Hornets hope to keep their Ryman premier division play-off hopes alive at AFC Wimbledon tomorrow but have several injury worries.

Gary Charman (rib), Lee Carney (hip) and Yinka Salaam (hamstring) are likely to be sidelined. Goalkeeper Paul Seuke is set to play despite an injured thigh.
