Break in at football ground '˜will not defeat' Bognor Regis Town FC
The club said that overnight on Saturday thieves targeted the club’s shop, taking a laptop, tablet and a TV.
Supporters club chairman Ian Guppy said: “The real value is minimal, it’s just the hassle.
“The laptop is password protected so is rendered useless.

The break in was discovered by a groundsman on Sunday morning, Mr Guppy said, who realised items were missing from the club shop.
He added: “We’re investing in CCTV. You should not need to do that for what is a very small shop at a football club.”
Mr Guppy was keen to praise the Bognor community for their response to the incident.

“The community has been fantastic.
“It just shows that the community can rally round the club and the club is at the heart of the community.”
But whatever happened at the weekend, Mr Guppy said nothing is going to stop the club making a bright start to the season.
“We are just carrying on, we are not going to be defeated.
“We will be there Tuesday night for the first league game.
“We are excited about the season.”
Sussex Police has been approached for comment.
