The Premier League fixtures may well have been revealed yesterday, but the only thing on the Portslade players minds was, 'Where will we be playing next season?'
Well I can reveal that the First team will remain in the Premier League as Dormansland Rockets withdraw, after failing to satisfy Step 7 criteria. Portslade are joined by Sporting Lindfield and AFC Uckfield II, who both secured promotion from the Championship.
The second team, after their most difficult campaign so far in the Mid-Sussex drop down to Division 5. They will go up against locals Ringmer II as well as Antsy, Forest Row II and Ifield from two seasons back.
