Eastbourne Town FC are sad to announce that long-standing manager John Lambert has stepped down along with assistant manager and his good friend Jamie Podmore.

Both have been in charge of over eight successful years at The Saffrons. Admired and respected by all, they have overseen a period of success and stability for the club and both will be greatly missed. Highlights include winning the RUR Cup, hugely historic and successful runs in both the FA Cup and FA Vase coupled with consistent top four finishes in the league.

Its certainly of an era at The Saffrons and we wish both John and Jamie all the best for the future.
