“We played Swansea twice in the winter of 2007 and at the end of that season Horsham had to vacate the ground and the bulldozers moved in,” says Kevin Borrett. Now chairman of Horsham after stepping in to help save the Sussex club a year after they had reached the second round of the FA Cup for the first time, Borrett will feel particular pride when Dominic Di Paola’s team face Sutton United on Saturday. The Hornets were reinstated when Barnsley were booted out of the competition for fielding an ineligible player and find themselves with an unexpected opportunity to reach the promised land of the Cup’s third round.
