A fire which destroyed a football club's headquarters is under investigation.

Investigators strongly suspect the blaze at Chichester City United FC's ground was the work of arsonists.

It tore through a clubhouse and changing rooms at the club's Church Road ground around 5.30pm on Tuesday.

Fire chiefs told The Argus on Wednesday that their investigations are still on-going.

Club manager Adie Girdler said players would not be immediately affected by the fire because they are playing away this weekend at Rye United. The next home match is on March 24.
