Club statement taken from official website

[Son of Sam]

And how many Jibes have we endured from the likes of you over the past seven years ? Grow up mate , lets not start all this over again.

[Pretty Vacant]

Indeed, lets not then. But as I say, if the roles were reversed, would your club now be offering to merge with ETFC, having shown no inclination to do so in the past?

[Enfield United]

Like i've said the past is the past and should a merge happen then i'm all for a touch of tinkering to make things work i.e welcome 1893 members on the board, co-chaimanship, but I think you'll find that after 2-3 years everyone will have to stand for a supporters democratic election.

 

It's only natural for past comments to be brought up and thrown into faces, cos the comments probably offended. But thats history in my books.

 

No i'm sure 1893 would not have offered us a place or as much a say should the roles be reversed and as we presume they will be. But that should be taken as a compliment from the council, who are 'forcing' a potential merger as it is a more stable scenario and would only realistically happen this way round.

 

Lets not bring up the past cos clocks can not be turned back, lets plan for a future, that message goes to all those 1893'ers who may read this.

[andyetfc]

Not here to rake up the past but just to make the point that there are articles and memorandum in place which, at the moment, do not allow for places on the board to be 'given' out.

 

We are currently going through a democratic system whereby 4 board members are up for election and members have the ability to stand for election. Why bother if we could just 'give' places away?

 

Mind you, people can always be co-opted onto the board.

 

It's good to know I have a new friend in PV. Mind you, it may not last that too long!!!

[The Invisible Man]

Maybe co-opted places were what was meant. But if it meant a 'united' Enfield club I would gladly vote for some 1893 directors to join the board. Cerainly some harsh wrods have been said by some in the past, on both sides, but only through passion for the club - whichever one it may be - and bygones can be bygones. With our common enemy gone I see no neeed for further conflict.

[andyetfc]

The current board can co-opt people onto the board but they, the co-opted board members, do not have voting rights.

1893 have their own agenda and that clearly does not involve Town including a United format.

So, reading this weeks Gazzett,del Football....
Was my previous comment that wide of the mark ??

I wait to be proved wrong.

We need to be very careful 1893 do not start chatting to the Council about Brimo and "there need to return to the Borough"

Mark my words.
Do not trust 1893 or their Chairman / Board.

[Duke of York]

If Town get approval to move onto the QE are the club likely to take the existing stands/seats turnstiles etc to Donkey Lane or will it make more sense to sell onto Brimsdown Rovers/E1893FC to remain in place at Goldsdown Road?

If we were to leave Brimo then surely we'll be taking our property with us - principally I'm thinking of the Stand. As tenants could we not then insist on an extortionately/pretty high rent were we to sub-let to 1893?

Or perhaps we could hang onto Brimo and let the Reserves play there?

[Sponsor of Beer]

I guess that all depends on how ETFC sees it's future at Goldsdown Road. It's clear that 1893 believes that we will more out lock stock and barrel, which is inconsistent with Town's stated aims. I hope the 1893 membership hasn't been misled in this regard.

[syrup]

I will say is that since we have been running the club we (not Steve the club is run by five not one) have not misled anyone.

[Hawkeye Pierce]

What if the five have been misled in someway?

Correct me if I am wrong, but IF we do move to Donkey Lane I thought the plan was that our Ladies, Reserves & Youth Teams still play at Brimmo. We would not have formed Goldsdown Sports & taken out a new 30 year lease with Enfield Council if we where to move out Lock Stock & Barrel would we?

Moving to Donkey Lane does not mean that we have to sever all ties with Brimmo. Also removing Stands etc seems highly unlikely.

Anyway that's my two bob's worth. Roger, Over & Out..............................

[The Horse'sMouth]

As a exile. I find it very hard to comment. But after watching developments I basically think that 1893 can now get stuffed.

 

I for one have always felt ETFC was a means to an end and that was EFC playing in Enfield again outside the control of Lazarou. Laz is now gone and we have offered the olive branch to EFC 1893 on numerous occasions and been rejected. Enough is enough.

 

Let them stay put with zero support in Ware. When they have no money left and come begging at our door, we should tell them to join MFM and his umbrella on the planet Mars.

Looks to me like they told you lot to get stuffed , Who can blame them . You people are not liked at brimo and most want you out lock stock and Barrell . How about you lot giving the brimo members a date of departure so we can have something to look forward to , Perhaps organize a street party . As for reserves and ladies remaining then they pay rent , Just do us a favour and GO .
