Since leaving the County League in the early 1970s, the ground has changed considerably, with covered accommodation provided on three sides. The main stand also houses the dressing rooms and boardroom, and holds about 200 people. Adjacent to this is a second seated area, with covered terracing nearest to the entrance and corner flag. Opposite is further covered terracing, extended around behind the far goal.
Disabled access:
Wheelchairs are accommodated and disabled toilets are available. Normal admission prices apply for disabled spectators and helpers.
General Information:
Nyewood Lane is arguably one of the more unsung grounds in the county, but has a lot of character and is well worth a visit, being painted in the club’s green livery. The club moved to Nyewood Lane more than 80 years ago, when a small wooden stand was built with two dressing rooms and a storage shed. There were wooden terraced seats for around 150 spectators. The pitch was enclosed with old wooden posts linked with thick rope. The club’s first floodlights were brought from Wembley Stadium and fitted on telegraph poles.
Bognor Regis away in the summer - a cracking day out. Bognor
Regis away in the winter - a cracking day out. The ground is situated relatively
close to the seafront, station and of course pubs, so if you can't enjoy
yourself here, you may as well give up now.
Excellent stadium which produces a good atmosphere, as Bognor are one of the
better supported clubs in this division. Had a rough time last season but with
old stager Jack Pearce at the helm, expect better things from them this time
around.
Last Season: 18th, Conference South Division
Average Attendance: 366
A Supporters View:
We are not considered to be one of the fashionable non-league clubs, but we are considered to be one of the friendliest, and hospitable. Our ground has a superb playing surface, but the main stand is small old and tatty. Our canteen is renowned for its food, and the clubhouse although old is friendly, and a good place for pre and post match drinks. Of course we are a seaside town and in the past several teams and supporters have made it a long weekend trip down here, with Butlins a favourite stop off due to the fact they have regular music weekends, and its reasonably cheap. The ground record was broken against one of your Countries well known teams Swansea, we defeated them here 3-1 in the F.A. Cup 1st round proper, after a 1-1 draw at the Vetch field back in the 80's. A member of their team that day was Dean Saunders who of course went on to better things. We have reached the 2nd round of the FA Cup 3 times, and the 1st round 6 times. We are also a side that plays a lot of attractive football, we don't play route 1. As for pubs they are plentiful of course being a seaside resort it depends what you are looking for.
