An ambitious new regime intend to steer Burgess Hill Town to a new stadium and Conference south football.
Hillians unveiled four new directors this week who are keen to develop the club's potential.
New director of finance Kevin Newell revealed about £50,000 has been invested in the cash-strapped club by the directors and they intend to move from Leylands Park to a purpose-built stadium within three to five years.
First team boss Gary Croydon, who is also chief executive, said: "We cannot entertain playing anything higher than Isthmian League football at Leylands Park. If our goal is to bring Conference football to a town which is constantly growing, then the new ground is where we are hanging our hat."
The new men and their positions in the boardroom are: Philip Keenlyside: Commercial director whose aim will be to generate investment in the club.
Clive Dryden: Managing director of Sussex-based golf course and landscaping specialists Turfrite Limited. He is facilities director and will oversee improving the current ground grading requirements.
Kevin Newell: A Crawley-based solicitor who will oversee the administrative structure as director of finance.
Ashley Carr: The popular former striker will be director of football development and bring through players from under-14s.
Croydon will remain as first team manager.
