Details

Priory Lane is an association football stadium in Langney, East Sussex and is the home of Eastbourne Borough, who play in the Conference South League. Eastbourne Borough have used this stadium since moving from the playing fields at Princes Park in 1983.HistoryBuilding commenced in 1983 when the club, which had just joined the Sussex County Football League, leased a playing field and built a garage to store equipment in. The first competitive match played at Priory Lane was against East Preston on 15 September 1984, a match which the Sports won 1-0. At this point in time, the team played on the pitch in front of the modern stadium site. They have played on the current pitch since 1988.Over the years the ground has seen a lot of development. Involving piping a tunnel and installing their own pumping station for drainage. The Peter Fountain stand was first to be built in 1989, named after the man who supplied the labour. Which was later extended in the early 1990s as Langney Sports were working their way up in the Sussex County League.There was also a hump where spectators had excellent views of the pitch before the Mick Green stand was built in 1995 ready for the 1995-96 season and is in memory of the club captain who was killed in a building accident in 1994. The Mick Green stand holds the players dressing rooms and a tea bar on the ground level and hospitality suites upstairs.
