Team chasing was invented by Douglas Bunn (the Master of Hickstead) in 1974 as a spectator sport for television, and has had a small but enthusiastic following ever since. Teams, many of whom have been in existence for some time, have been creative in finding names, such as the Boring Gorings (one of the first teams to compete, in 1974, and the oldest team still chasing), the Cunning Stunts, the Ankle Biting Butt Munchers, the Marston Misfits (founded in 1980), and many others.

In October 2002, an ex-Arsenal and Celebrity Team visited to help celebrate the centenary with Steve Williams, Peter Marinello, Terry Marsh, Martin Offiah and Ralf Little all gracing The Beacon. Long-serving manager Dave John retired in 2008 to be replaced by former Horsham YMCA manager John Suter. Despite bringing in a number of the players with whom he had won promotion to the Isthmian League at Gorings Mead, the change did not work and Suter was dismissed after just 15 games in charge with the Robins floating around the relegation zone. John returned to first team management and kept the side afloat for another two seasons, handing over the reigns to Mickey Jewell and his assistant former Steyning Town manager Mark Dalgleish for 2010–11, and in 2011–12 they led the Robins to a highest ever finish of 4th as well as the semi-finals of the Sussex RUR Cup.
