The club released this message in response to us receiving the news that the work to instal a new drainage system at the ground will not take place until Spring 2025:-

A Message to the Lingfield Community: Help Us Save Our Football Club!

Lingfield Football Club (LFC) has been a part of our community for over 130 years, but we now find ourselves in a precarious situation. We have been unable to play at our home ground for the past two seasons due to the drainage and severe weather conditions. A generous grant of £230,000 has been secured to install new drainage to the entire field, but ironically, the weather has once again defeated us, and this vital work cannot commence until spring.

​​​​​​​This leaves us in a difficult position: we have no home ground or funds to sustain us through the season. Each match for our first team and under-23s costs £500 just to kick off, and without gate income or bar revenue, we are struggling to make ends meet.

Simply put, we are fighting to keep the club afloat. If we can survive this season, we will be back at home next year, generating our own funds and continuing to serve the community as we always have. We are reaching out to everyone who has played, volunteered, or even just enjoyed a match or two with us over the years. Now is the time to give back if you can.

The club has opened a fundraising page here Justgiving to try to raise £10,000 towards our pitch hire costs. We have had a wonderfully generous contribution of £5000 from one person that has helped us towards our target but every donation is gratefully received.

The club were given dispensation to play all our matches until the end of this month at Oakwood FC based on an expectation of returning to our ground at Godstone Road. The club has been told that as this ground is not to the level of football we play at – non-league Step 5 – we must seek an alternative ground for the First Team to add to our problems. The club is currently dealing with this. Our U23 team will continue to play at Oakwood FC and we thank them for their assistance this season.
