To answer Stafford. I have never thought Lewes could sustain a team in the Conference National and I still don't. If they decide to keep Ibbotson as manager, I think they will do reasonably well in the Conference South. He seems to know how to manage and motivate a team. However, knowing the board, they will probably think they know best and appoint somebody else like Keehan, who had no idea (or to be fair to him experience, how to manage a football team). He was, after all, the commercial manager at Brighton and, by all accounts, Brighton were pleased to see the back of him. By the way, he appears to now have connections with Shoreham in the Sussex County League as he was a named sub for them in a game at Hassocks. He didn't come on, which is probably just as well, as he didn't look particularly fit!

To answer Anonymous. I know many Lewes fans who thought they had gone too far too quickly. Every club has fans who could be called "clueless", even Welling, but don't tar them all with the same brush.

At least when Lewes's ground wasn't up to standard, they were not allowed to take part in the play-offs, unlike H&R. Perhaps Lewes didn't know the right people in the right places or pass over enough brown envelopes.
