Origins and History
When was Selsey FC founded?
Selsey FC was founded in 1903. Wikipedia+2footygrounds.blogspot.com+2
They initially played at various local grounds. In the late 1940s, the club moved to their current ground, High Street Ground in Selsey. Selsey Photo Archive+3footygrounds.blogspot.com+3Wikipedia+3
Over the years, Selsey played in local leagues (West Sussex Football League) before joining the Sussex County League (the league’s Division Two) in the 1960s. selseyfc.co.uk+3fchd.info+3footygrounds.blogspot.com+3
They have experienced promotions and relegations over decades. For example, they won the Sussex County League Division Two in 1963-64 to move up. fchd.info+1
In more recent times, league restructuring has placed them in Southern Combination Football League Division One (which is effectively a renamed or reorganised local division) after 2015. fchd.info+2Wikipedia+2
Their best FA Cup performance has been to the Second Qualifying Round on multiple occasions. Wikipedia+1
They have also had decent runs in the FA Vase (Third Round) and won various county cups and local trophies over the years. footygrounds.blogspot.com+2fchd.info+2
So Selsey FC has deep roots and has been part of local football for over a century.
Ownership / Governance
Who owns Selsey FC?
Selsey FC does not appear to have a single billionaire or corporate owner. It is run as a community club, overseen by a board and club officials.
The Chairman is David Lee. Wikipedia+2selseyfc.co.uk+2
Other club officials include Vice Chairman Colin Webb, Treasurer Roland Robinson, Secretary Paul Senior, and others. selseyfc.co.uk
Because it is a community or local club, the model is more about local involvement, volunteer governance, and sponsorship than a single private owner.
Sponsorship in 2025
Who sponsors Selsey FC 2025?
From their official contact page, Selsey FC lists a number of club sponsors. selseyfc.co.uk Among them:

These sponsors help fund club operations, kit costs, ground maintenance, etc. As a printing company, you could approach such sponsors to print their logos, boards, banners, signage, etc.
Can I buy shares in Selsey FC?
Because Selsey FC is run as a local or community club rather than a publicly traded company, there is no open market for shares.
In other words: no, you cannot buy shares of Selsey FC in the conventional sense. The club is governed by its committee, with sponsors and members, rather than shareholders.
If you want a say in club matters you might become involved as a sponsor, volunteer, or part of the committee (if the club allows).
How much is a box at Selsey FC?
I could not find any published price for hospitality boxes or executive boxes at Selsey FC. Local clubs of this size typically do not have formal “box” packages like large professional stadiums.
If Selsey FC provides hospitality or corporate areas, the club would publish rates locally. You might contact the club management or webmaster, and we (printing business) can help design any branding or signage for such areas.
How much is Selsey FC worth?
There is no public, reliable valuation for Selsey FC. Clubs at this level are not valued like big professional clubs.
Their “worth” would derive from:
- Assets (land, ground, clubhouse)
- Brand, local goodwill
- Sponsorship agreements
- Matchday revenues, gate receipts
- Merchandising
Because these revenues and assets are modest, the club’s worth would likely be modest relative to professional clubs.
How to get to Selsey FC?
Selsey FC plays at High Street Ground, High Street, Selsey, Sussex, PO20 0QG. selseyfc.co.uk+2footygrounds.blogspot.com+2
To get there:
- By car: drive into Selsey via local roads, find High Street, follow signage to the ground
- By public transport: travel to Chichester by train or bus, then local bus or taxi onward to Selsey
- The club website has a “Contact” or map showing club location. selseyfc.co.uk
Because Selsey is near Chichester, many fans or visitors coming from Chichester can easily travel by local roads or buses.
Where do Selsey FC train?
I couldn’t find a specific separate training ground for Selsey FC. It is likely they use their home ground or nearby community pitches for training sessions.
Some clubs of this level share their main stadium or local recreation grounds for both matches and training.
Who is the current manager of Selsey FC?
The current manager is Daren Pearce (also spelled “Darren” in some sources) Amazon Web Services, Inc.+4Wikipedia+4selseyfc.co.uk+4
He is supported by staff, coaches, and sometimes external advisors such as Martin Hinshelwood, who has agreed to assist the club in development and coaching. selseyfc.co.uk+1
In historical documents, assistant manager is Mitch Fountain, coaches like Martin Hinshelwood, etc. eefconline.co.uk+1
Is Selsey FC for sale?
I found no credible information indicating that Selsey FC is for sale. No public announcements suggest the club is being marketed.
Because it is a community club, a sale would likely require board agreement and local involvement. As of now, there is no sign of sale.
