WICK FOOTBALL CLUB HISTORY
Wick joined Division Two of the Sussex County League in 1964/65 and won our first 11 matches. However, we then lost 0-11 at Lewes in the Sussex Senior Cup and fell apart for the remainder of the season, only winning another four games and eventually finishing 5th. After spending eighteen seasons in Division Two, we eventually won promotion in 1983 after finishing as champions, but spent only three seasons in Division One before being relegated. However, we bounced back the following season (1985/86) after winning Division Two for a second time.
From then until our relegation at the end of the 2002/03 season, Wick were ever-present in Division One of the County League, winning the League Challenge Cup in 1987/88; and during the 1990s were one of the top sides in the county.
In 1989/90 we lifted the Division One title, as well as the RUR Charity Cup. In 1992/93 we won the Sussex Senior Cup for the only time, beating Oakwood at the Goldstone Ground, and in 1993/94 won the championship for the second time, finishing 14 points clear of runners-up Whitehawk, who defeated us in the League Cup final.
Wick finished runners-up to Burgess Hill Town in 1996/97, but the League Cup proved a welcome consolation. The following season under manager Jimmy Quinn, Wick finished 3rd in the League, but reached the semi-finals of the Senior Cup, and won the RUR Cup, which we retained the following season.
Season 2001/2002, the club recovered remarkably well from our previous dreadful season to finish 3rd, but another dreadful season in 2002/03 - the nadir of which came with an 1-11 thrashing at Lymington & New Milton in the FA Vase with Richie Reynolds in charge - finally saw the club relegated to Division Two.
A final placing of 4th in Division Two in 2003/04 however, proved to be the springboard to recovery for our once dominant club, as with Andy Gander & Dean Bradford in charge we finished as runners-up to Crowborough Athletic in 2004/05 to take what many considered to be our rightful place in the top division.
Understandably, 2005/06 was a season of consolidation with brought a respectable mid-table finish. Carl Stabler joined as manager in 2006/07 with the remit of rising Wick Football Club out of the County League and after 3 seasons has stepped up to Chairman and handed over the reigns of the football side of the club to highly respected manager Vic Short.
