Sevenoaks Town FC is delighted to announce the club has been granted planning permission for a new club house, covered stands, changing room facilities and associated landscaping works at Greatness Park.


As a FA England Accredited club in the heart of the local community, Sevenoaks Town offers football provision to over 60 teams including 54 youth teams including three girls’ teams, seven adult teams including a women’s team and four disability teams. Alongside this, the club runs a Wildcats Centre and popular community scheme for children aged 4- to 8-year-olds who wish to try football for the first time.


The plans for the future will enable The Oaks to enhance the playing experience for those currently enjoying the game at Greatness Park but importantly it means the club can explore new opportunities to offer even more to those across the community with a first-class facility that provides a base for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy.


Speaking about the news, Club Chairman Paul Lansdale said:


“After lots of hard work and endeavour, I am thrilled for everyone connected to the football club to reveal this brilliant news. Greatness Park welcomes hundreds of participants and visitors each week and our new clubhouse will be a catalyst for us to further progress as a club and build upon what we offer to our players, coaches, parents, volunteers and local community.”


“We wouldn’t have been able to get this far without the help and support of many people and now we can look ahead to making our plans a reality which is incredibly exciting.”


Lansdale added: “We are looking forward to working very closely with our landlords and our key stakeholders and partners. The future looks incredibly bright especially after two very tough seasons and we are all excited to push forwards and make Greatness Park even greater.”


Councillor Peter Fleming expressed his delighted at the news.

“Sevenoaks Town FC is truly one of the towns sporting giants, however it is the sheer scale of the club, its unstinting commitment to the community and provision of access to football for all that sometimes goes under the radar, these amazing facilities will allow this outstanding work to continue for many generations to come.”


Laura Trott, MP for Sevenoaks and Swanley was delighted with the news, adding:

This is absolutely fantastic news, and I applaud the whole team at Sevenoaks FC for all their hard work, and the support shown by Sevenoaks Town Council. The last 18 months have been so difficult for sports clubs, but the dedication from Paul and his team has been remarkable throughout. I was struck during my visit that they have never lost sight of what matters most - the future of the club and its community.”


Sevenoaks Oaks Sports Council Chair Edward Oatley believes the news marks a positive new chapter for sport in the area.

“This is such brilliant news and will help put Sevenoaks even more on the British Map on the contribution that the town makes to the development of youth sport from 5 to 18. We are without doubt role models for the whole of GB in the way that qualified volunteer coaches in all sports dedicate themselves to improve the wellbeing and development of the self-confidence of the young and help them understand that teamwork is the essence of success in all walks of life.”

Lee Suter, Kent FA Senior Football Development Officer echoed the sentiments of those involved with the planning process so far, saying:

“This is fantastic news for everyone involved with Sevenoaks Football Club who positively support so many using the power of football. Paul and his army of volunteer work tirelessly to improve the lives of others and that of the Sevenoaks area, and this milestone will allow them to develop a facility at the heart of one of Kent’s largest and well thought of football clubs”.

Evening routine for me usually includes browsing random discussions in UK gaming forums, and that’s where I first saw someone casually mentioning their experience during a weekend session. I wasn’t expecting much, but curiosity got the better of me. The first impression was more about structure than flashy visuals, which I actually prefer. It felt organised enough to explore without confusion. During that session I opened Fortune Clock again through a different thread and compared how it loaded on mobile. Surprisingly, it stayed stable even when switching between games quickly. That consistency made me stick around longer than I usually would on similar platforms.

Cheers everyone, posting from the UK after a surprisingly entertaining weekend indoors. I came across luckymanor-gb.co.uk after overhearing two guys talking about online slots at the pub while waiting for drinks. Curiosity got the better of me, so later that night I searched it up myself. What kept me interested was how relaxed the whole setup felt compared to other sites I’ve tried before. I spent a while trying different games while watching random videos online and had one of those sessions where my balance kept bouncing up and down constantly. Just when I thought the night was finished, I landed a decent win that completely covered the earlier losses. The funniest part is I’d already started complaining to my dog…

I came across wgcasino-gb.uk while reading discussions about different online entertainment platforms. I was mostly curious about how modern websites in this category are structured and how easy they are to navigate. What stood out to me was the simple layout and the fact that pages loaded quite smoothly. The overall design felt calm and not overloaded with unnecessary elements, which made browsing more comfortable.

UK-based here. I first came across this while reading a late-night discussion thread where people were talking about fast and simple gaming platforms. I clicked through out of curiosity and noticed everything loaded without delay, which immediately stood out. While scrolling through user comments, I ended up opening JeffBet Casino and stayed longer than expected. I had a rough start and nearly stopped, but a later win turned the session around and left me slightly ahead.

Was reading through a forum earlier where people talked about their experiences with online gaming platforms. Some sites had terrible feedback, but a couple of recommendations seemed solid. After looking into it, I found a page that compares platforms based on real payout data and fair terms. No more relying on random comments. If you're tired of trial and error, here's the link I use: https://www.mudsweatandtears.co.uk/

Definitely helped me make better choices.
