“Jeremy was a regular supporter at The Pilot Field, and supported the team at both Harrogate and Middlesbrough in their FA Cup run (during the 2012/13 season). Whatever political persuasion you are, Jeremy did a tremendous lot for Hastings.”

United narrowly avoided relegation from Ryman Football League Division One South during the recently-concluded season and are now on the hunt for a new manager having decided not to continue with Nigel Kane for next term.
