I've put a link up to your flickr photostream and also acknowledged the fact my photo's are not good quality/rubbish..

 

Happy memories though..can't beleive it's been a decade

The site is very informative and the tribute to the 10 years since the murder of Southbury Road ground very moving. I fully reccommend the site to anyone who is yet to log on to it. Good stuff.

This has been said many times on the forum by many of us , not least mysef

lt beggers belief that a council would destroy what in essence was the epicentre of the community. A non league club that could and would have played a major part in our society.

Instead we've been left to dig the hole the local authorities created and just hope they support our club in every angle possible.

You are now members of a very long list I am afraid. Some councils to their utmost to help their local sides... a la Dartford and Stevenage (will insert Havering in here soon if we get the nod in a couple of weeks), but others couldn't give a monkey's chuff.

Saw my first game at SR in 69 against Skem Utd in the Amateur cup.. still one of the best NonLeague games I have ever witnessed.

I said on the Enfield forum I remember playing there in a school Cup Final 21 years ago when I was 12. St Bernards vs Cardinal Pole which we (St Bernards) won 2-1 and I was captain. Still remember it vividly.
