Pagham —A Brief History The club was formed in 1903, starting in the Bognor & Chichester Football league, and then joining the West Sussex league. The club at the end of the 1965–66 season became champions of the West Sussex league Premier Division for the first time and repeated this success two more times in the 1968–69 and 1969–70 seasons. As well as the league success the club also achieved two Sussex Intermediate Cup wins. in 1988–89. The club firmly established itself as a Division One club subsequently, without reaching the heights of the late 1980s — the best season being 1992–93, when Pagham finished as runners-up to Peacehaven. 2003–04 however, saw the club finish in the bottom three, with only the earlier liquidation of St. Leonards sparing them the drop into Division Two. There was no escape in 2004–05 however, and a similarly wretched campaign saw the Lions drop back down into Division Two. Before moving to Nyetimber lane the club spent their first 47 years of existence playing on various farmers’ fields until they moved onto a field adjoining the cricket club in Nyetimber Lane in 1950. A small wooded shed was provided by a local farmer which served as a changing room until the club applied to enter the County League in 1970. Originally there was a cricket-type pavilion erected, alongside the current breeze block stand which at the time had no seats. The pavilion and an old wooden building that served as a bar were eventually replaced by the current clubhouse, with dressing rooms behind. The 1966–67 and 1968–69 season. After achieving success in the West Sussex league the club joined Division Two of the Sussex County League for the 1970–71 campaign, finishing third in their first three seasons. I In the 1972–73 season the club played their first ever FA Cup game drawing 0–0 with Chichester City, before losing 2–1 in the replay. In 1978–79 Pagham finished as champions of Division Two, winning promotion to the top division. [3] The club finished fourth the following season, behind champions Chichester City, but lifted the title in 1980–81 – three points clear of runnersup Peacehaven & Telscombe, who went on to win the next two titles. Just three years later however, Pagham were relegated. Two third placings followed before the Division Two championship was lifted for the second time in 1986–87. Better was to follow over the next two seasons, with successive Division One titles, as well as the League Challenge Cup In what could be viewed as a season of consolidation after a couple of poor years, 2005–06 saw the Lions only able to manage 13th place but 2006–07 saw them comfortably return to the top flight as champions, ten points clear of runnersup St. Francis Rangers. Gary Block the manager took the chairmans’ position full time in 2008/9 however Brent Williams took over for the latter half of the season. A new management team came in for the 2010/11 season and Pagham were never out of the top four. 2011/12 and 2012/13 seasons both ended in top half finishes. 2014/15 season saw a new era at the top with the present chairman Tony Shea taking over as chairman and Gary Block returned to mentor the new manager Jon Tucker. 2015/16 started well for the club, now in the renamed Southern Combination League, with Corinthian-Casuals being defeated in the FA, Cup but form fell away and Tucker left. From Littlehampton came joint managers Mark Bennett and Richie Hellens and there was a 6th place finish. The 2016/17 season saw the main stay of the 2015/16 team staying. And after a draw in the FA Cup against Canterbury City Pagham won the replay. The next round against Dulwich Hamlet saw the Hamlet run out 3-0 winners. It was a good season with Pagham finishing 4th, 20 points behind the eventual winners Shoreham. who were promoted to the Bostik league South Thermal Printers, EPOS Equipment, Barcode Scanners.
