Horsham are poised to groundshare with Conference premier club Crawley Town at the Broadfield Stadium.

Hornets have to quit Queen Street at the end of the season after 103 years.

Supporters have expressed concern that the Ryman premier outfit could be homeless just five months after reaching the second round of the FA Cup for the first time in the club's 126-year history.

Secretary John Lines last week revealed a two-year groundshare deal outside of the town was expected to be rubber-stamped before Christmas but declined to say where.

But Crawley Borough Council told The Argus talks had taken place for Hornets to play at Broadfield Stadium.

A spokesperson said: "We are pleased to confirm that the basis of an agreement has been agreed between all three parties - Crawley Borough Council, Horsham Football Club and Crawley Town Football Club - and we are looking forward to formally agreeing arrangements for next season."

Hornets manager John Maggs was chairman of Crawley when they moved to the Broadfield Stadium from Town Mead ten years ago.

Horsham sold Queen Street for £4.75m, a price that will be revalued once the new owners get planning permission, and bought land at the Holbrook Club for £2m to develop a new stadium.

The Hornets will apply for planning permission next month.

Meanwhile, Maggs is set to recall Eddie French and Andy Howard for tonight's Isthmian League Cup showdown with Walton Casuals at Queen Street. He intends to rest Stuart Myall, who has been suffering a hamstring problem, and Kevin Hemsley.

Maggs is looking for his side to bounce back after a 4-1 defeat at struggling Folkestone Invicta in the league on Saturday, five days after their FA Cup exit at Swansea.

He said: "We've got to roll our sleeves up and get on with it otherwise any hopes of doing well in the cup and league cup will fade away.

"I was disappointed with the players at Folkestone and they were disappointed with themselves. It wasn't good enough."
