Kick-off was delayed by ten minutes to 3.10pm due to traffic problems after a stricken aircraft hit cars on the A27 in the vicinity of nearby Shoreham airport earlier in the afternoon. The fatalities included two Worthing United players - Matt Grimstone (a member of the groundstaff at Brighton & Hove Albion's training facility) and Jacob Schilt (an avid Seagulls supporter).
