Warlingham will play at Moatside Stadium next season after the club confirmed they would become Merstham's tenants.

The Combined Counties League division one side moved in with their Ryman League division one south neighbours after Tandridge Council refused the club planning permission to build a new ground.

The club had needed to move to ensure their facilities were good enough for the Combined Counties League.

Warlingham's chairman Steve Rolfe said the ground share, which has been agreed for at least two seasons, represented a real opportunity for the club.

"We can use this as a spur to challenge for the Division One title next year.

"We will also be able to play evening games which means that together with an improved pitch we should avoid the fixture backlog we have suffered over recent seasons."

However, the cost of the move meant the club would have to charge supporters to watch them play.

Rolfe said: "We will also be charging spectators and hope to have our own support follow us to Merstham and also pick up some local football lovers.
