What they didn't realise was that they were also going to meet new First Team Coach Mark Robinson too...
"I can't wait," Robinson told the Members. "I just want to get cracking really. It's been a couple of weeks to get to this point and once you're there you want to get amongst it. On Monday I'm coming down to spend a little time with Farbs and some of the staff.
"It's a proper club isn't it?" Robinson responded when asked a question by Jonathan Collett.
"It's a big club and I think it's in a good place, because of the potential.
"From a reputation point of view it's got a good reputation for doing things right. When you went as an away team you were always treated well and the facilities were good. On the pitch it was always a tough place to play especially from a Sussex point of view!"
