been created by James Burton in the 1820s. Ground The club moved to The Firs, from Pannel Lane, in 1993. The ground had previously been used by Hastings Town until they moved into the Pilot Field next door after the demise of the old Hastings United. During the summer of 1993, the ground was redeveloped ensuring the club could play in Division One of the Sussex County League. Further improvements were made to the ground in 1996, to allow the club to enter the Southern League, after initially being rejected. After the club folded the ground was briefly used by St. Leonards Social FC, who play in the East Sussex League, however the ground has since become disused and a 5-a-side astroturf pitch was constructed on the pitch, ensuring that no local club can again use the Firs.
