Chichester City hope for large crowd in top-of-table tussle with Three Bridges

City have had a great start to the league season and are second in the table with four wins and a draw from their opening five games – but face their toughest test to date so far when Bridges – top with 17 points from their first seven – visit Nyewood Lane.

Chi are playing home games at Bognor for the first half of this season while a new 3G pitch is laid at Oaklands Park. But so far attendances at their temporary home have been a little disappointing.

Chi boss Rutherford said: “It’s a massive game on Tuesday night with the top two going head to head and it would be nice to see a lot of our fans there, and maybe some neutrals too.

"Bognor aren’t playing so if any of their fans are looking for a midweek football fix this is the ideal game for them.

"We’ve done okay so far but so have Three Bridges – it’s never an easy game against them, and they’ve been scoring a lot of goals. We’ve done well at Bognor so far so will be aiming to keep that going.”

Kick off is at 7.45pm.
