At 9am on Saturday morning you can get the first look at the draws here on TheFA.com. However, for those who won't be able to get online, you can call The FA's Competition's Newsline on 09066 555 888, also from 9am (Calls are charged at 60p per minute).

 

Prelim = 90 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Enfield Town v Clacton Town

 

1st Qual = 48 Edgware Town or Clapton v Enfield Town or Clacton Town

How about this means of solving ETFC's financial woes:

 

1st season in the FA Cup and they progress through qualifying and somehow reach the 3rd Round proper. By an immense stroke of luck they are drawn at home against Man Utd. In return for all the gate money ETFC agree to move the tie to Old Trafford. A 2-2 draw sees a replay at White Hart Lane where a 90th minute penalty spares Sir Alex's blushes. Everyone's happy though as the debts are paid off with a few quid left over.

The ENFIELD we support is the one which has won the Conference, the FA Trophy and The FA Amateur Cup, and 13 times champions of the Isthmian League. You can never take that away from us. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

 

When you left for Town, you left that behind.

I don't want to take that from you MK.......Don't forget i've seen all THEM trophies picked-up in the past 20 years....It's also MY personal history(you can never take that away from me).

I don't know who is the longest serving supporter you have left at the (old) club......But with 20 years under my belt watching ENFIELD FC,I am a reletive novice among the 'Town' supporters...many having went to most games for 30/40 years.

I have been in the minority amongst Town fans,in the last 2 seasons,i have continued to watch EFC(when ETFC havn't been playing). getting to around 10-12 games a season............Enfield Town will never be the OLD Enfield,but in spirit we are a far closer to them,than the current outfit.

Urchino.......When talking of the 'old' Enfield....I am refering to ENFIELD FC(formed 1893) before it was destroyed and sold-off by it's current chairman,when the club had a ground to call it's own,when the club was feared and respected amounst othet teams,when the TOP non-league players wore the shirt with pride,when a crowd of under 700 was rightly regarded as a poor attendence.

 

Enfield Town f.c was formed by the supporters of Enfield f.c 3 years ago,to preserve the long term future of senior football in the borough of Enfield....and also after the Enfield f.c chairman repeatedly broke promises to hand the club over to the supporters,so it could be salvaged.

 

We bare no grudge to the 10% of fans that decided to stay with Enfield F.c......and i hope they bear no grudge to the rest of us that decided to set-up Enfield town.

 

If you are aware of the Wimbledon/A.F.C wimbledon situation.....it's very much like that.

After the Farnbor debacal the tie couldn't be moved; we would have Man U @ home!!!

Or, if we did switch, any gate receipts above those that would have been generated at home would go into the central FA pool.

 

Bl**dy Westley. Still screwing things up for us <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
