Spot on KM - you passed the test !

 

By the same reasoning Ashford Town (Middx)

are physically located in Surrey, with a POSTAL address in Middlesex

 

[Weeble]

It has been a postal noghtmare...Some people in government don't want Middlesex to exist anymore but us hardened Middlesexonians will fight it to the end.....

[Two Ton Ted]

Unless they moved the River Thames to Heathrow when I wasn't looking, Ashford is most definately in Middlesex.

 

I think Ashford played in the Surrey Senior League before it became the Combined counties, hence the affiliation.

 

 

[Weeble]

Well it was the Surrey intermediate then the Surrey premier then Combined counties so yes Alb ee's you are correct sir..Staines Town I think also enter into both cup comps but not 100 per cent on that...

What is the feeling down at Epsom at the moment about Thursdays game..I think he will field a pretty strong side but as I said they are a jeckl and Hyde team at mom and if u play to your strengths who knows...They have masses of pace up front but are a short side st the back....

Hope your football is better than your general knowledge / geography Alb EE's

 

Ashford is a town almost entirely in the Surrey borough of Spelthorne in England, with a small part falling within Greater London. It is a suburban development situated 15 miles (24 km) west south-west of Charing Cross in London and forms part of the London commuter belt. It is often referred to as Ashford, Middlesex to distinguish it from the larger town of Ashford, Kent, because it fell within the historic county of Middlesex. Since 1965, when Middlesex County Council was dissolved, it has been administered by Surrey County Council and the small London section by the London Borough of Hounslow.

Staines have never entered the SSC as far as I recall.

 

Ashford have a tough league game at Tooting on Tuesday and another on Saturday so I have no idea what sort of team they will put out.

 

They should of course beat us easily, but then Slutton should have too.

[Two Ton Ted]

Surrey runs from Richmond to Southwark, south of the river.

 

Twickenham, Hounslow, Ashford, Staines are all Middlesex. I don't care how the idiots divided up the counties in the 70's, North of the Thames ain't and never will be Surrey!!!!

 

 

[Weeble]

I agree totally with you ..As I said our status as Middlesexonians is under attack and has been for a while now but we will not give it up...

We will fight them on the beaches and all that....

[Green_Fingers]

60's Alb Ee's - 1965 to be precise back in the good old days of Beatles, Bob Dylan & Tom & Jerry

 

Middlesex was abolished in 1965 - most of it making up Greater London with small parts transferred to Hertfordshire and (in the cases of Ashford, Staines & Sunbury) Surrey.

 

The Thames is no longer the County boundary

[Weeble]

Oh it's a sad day when you lose your identity...I will always remember where I was on that day....

[Big J R]

Just heard that one of our asst. refs for tonight has dropped out at short notice, so it's panic stations at the moment.

[Big J R]

Panic over.

 

We now have 3 officials - HOPEFULLY !

[duncs]

the county boundaries are all over the place in this neck of the woods I believe Sandhurst is often reffered to as Surrey when in fact it is Berkshire,Blackwater is adressed as Surrey when it is Hampshire and the old favourite Ash is also adressed as Hampshire when in fact it is in Surrey
