PS. Good luck to Del, I think he was the brains in the Steve/Del Edgware Town successes

Samuelsmiles - Your link didn't work but very interesting, I wonder whether Bilbo has packed his bags for Herns Lane yet:

A place like WGC (population 40,000) should be represented higher up the pyramid in my view.

You know why P Tompkins left Rhodes? Also those this mean the ex Edgware/Leyton fans now become WGC fans??

Probably dizziness from all that running around in 360 degree circles.

No, I've just e-mailed him to find out, my guess is that there are underlying problems at Herns Lane that none of us are aware of

[NeutralFan]

Obviously some serious problems if they can't get a team out, sure St Mags aren't going to be happy to miss out playing them when they are getting spanked every week!!

He left Leyton because of financial problems . I wonder how he is going to get on at Welwyn Garden City fc then ?

A Forum has kindly been provided for Welwyn Garden City by the Welwyn & Hatfield Times but it's barely used which is a shame:

A fair point however I would much rather be working for Welwyn Garden City Chairman Alan Thomas then for Leyton's Costas Sophocleous, at least Del won't turn up at Herns Lane to find the gates padlocked.

[christianTroy]

From the outside and from what i have heard only, it seems to me to be a committee problem and i am sure Del will find this in months to come.I am also sure if they are looking to progress to a higher level Del is the man for the job with his experience and loyal players who follow him from club to club.

Yes and don't forget the likes of Bilbo and Paul Gregory who follow Del and the former Edgware Town players around sheep like, what's the betting that they swerve Waltham Abbey v Leyton on Saturday and turn up at Welwyn Garden City's game with Chalfont St Peter at Herns Lane.

[samuelsmiles]

That's an interesting thought, If the ex Edgware players go from Leyton to Welwyn with Del they'll have a team capable of challenging for the title.

 

Blimey, I'm going to have to check the league table and see how far ahead the mighty Hares are.

We will re-kindle some old Spartan League friendships with the Citizens playing the Saints on Saturday.

 

Be keen to see who has made the move with the Dynamic Duo and hopefully a more stable platform to build on following the debacle at Leyton.

 

As the Citizens are currently languishing at the bottom of the Premier Division it will be a tough challenge for the boys but the travelling to E10 wont be missed by players and supporters alike.

 

This post is dedicated to Rhodent I bet I reel him in!!!

A few of the old Edgware boys played for Welwyn last year didn't they? Morton played a few games coming back from injury if i remember rightly

"We" will re-kindle some old Spartan League friendships with the Citizens playing the Saints on Saturday.

 

Jesus, it was "we" at Leyton a few weeks ago when everthing was rosey...

[Rhodes]

Stones1966 - Have you read the top two threads on the Leyton Forum, I have been rolling around the office floor all afternoon at the goings on at Lea Bridge Road as they really don't have a clue:

You are right some players played there last year when coming back to fitness and Dean Townsend is there as well.
