Enfield 1893

[THE EYE]

It looks like they can't appeal.It will cost them a fortune and no guarantee of success.To me it all seems like an astute move from the Rymans powers to re-instate some clubs up North or even a tremendous vendetta from some powerful Enfield Town supporters who know well someone in high chairs somewhere.As Onebreast said it's pure Karma so watch out Enfield Town.....you'll be paid back!! Let me go and put a fiver on them going down next year and Enfield coming up again!!!

 

 

 

Are you avin a laugh t

Why should Town slip from 6th to relegation, just because 1893.50 can't sort their ground out ?

 

1893.50 may well get up, as they will be there near the top.

 

Anyway they should appeal as they have done a lot of work in a short time PLUS there is now the re-gig due to Rushden etc.

 

 

 

The curse can't be stopped now!It's too late and Enfield Town is gonna get it big time!

 

Dont tar all Town supporters with the same brush. There are more supporters of the Town than those who regularly post Anti 1893 comments.

 

I for one am sad to not see 1893 promoted as the Town have now missed out on two local derbys which would have brought in good crowds at both games.

 

Why cant we stop bickering and try to get on more harmoniously.

Yep by 1893 not going up town have missed out on a couple of grand minimum one would say

I bet they are crying like babies about it.

[Mr Happy]

Yeah! We're so upset about not having to go back to that shitehouse in Brimsdown! Good luck to all the other ESL clubs next season! Go out there and stuff Brimfield 90612!

[Jenko]

That sh*thouse gave you an opportunity to have a ground and progress as a club, so I think a bit of respect is due.

The exiles don't give a monkey about it.How flipping loved beating them 1-0 on a cold day at the end of December!Steve Warner my hero on 90m and we only needed 10 players to pack them back on those two coaches at Crown Avenue!!

Couldn't agree more,same as Romford should always be eternally grateful to Hornchurch for letting them groundshare back in 94.

Fckng pikey squatting Kents!!!

[coupwotcoup]

Can't argue with that Rob. Gave us a start and will be eternally grateful.

As for the other lot, that statement shows up the patronising bunch of

w@nkers 99 per cent of them are.

Fvcking chokers...

Personally, for what its worth, I am grateful to Brimsdown Rovers for providing us with a home.

 

I have no issues with them and I would be surprised if the vast majority of the ETFC supporters didnt feel the same although naturally we are glad we will now have our own stadium come September.

 

Mr Happy obviously feels differently but he is one voice amongst many.

 

What as caught my eye is the fact that some people feel we owe 1893 something, not sure what? ETFC have tried to offer the hand of friendship to them on a number of occasions in the past and they have slapped it away, hence there is now some bad feeling which I feel will take some time to go away.

 

Im sure 1893 have a different take on it and im sure one of their supporters will reply in due course.

 

I noticed on the 1893 website they have chosen to accept the decision in respect of the grading.

[smallsy]

i wish you lot would feck off

 

dont care about the melts at enfield town

 

or the old codgers at romford

 

solong gay boys

[Grounhopper Mark.]

Good luck Enfield FC (1893) be sweet justice if Towners went down to the e.s.hell, i mean, esl. Slip of the keyboard.

 

Cant belive Towners supporters arrogant feckers, good luck all Ryman 1N apart from Towners, stuff them boys.

Probably a correct assumption Rob, shame IMO that Hornchurch are not interested in having another ground-share arrangement, as I believe it could have been of great benefit to both clubs, and it could end up being the biggest mistake your club have ever made.

Don't think so to be honest.

If you played at the bridge our pitch would be fcked by early november.

Our youth teams would be forced to play elsewhere and so would our capital league side.

Most clubs who groundshare tend to have one side who plays on a sunday/monday a few times a season,this is impossible because of the athletics club having rights on those days.

Our pitch is never the best because of the river next to it,when that is high,which is a few times each winter it is hard to get one game on let alone another clubs fixtures.

It simply wouldn't work,especially with the ease that referees call a game off nowadays.

Believe it or not I hope it never happens, but if Hornchurch go under again, there's not a hope in hell that LBH would ever let you back into Bridge Avenue ever again, and they would just love to flog it off for development. If you was sharing with another club they would at least be obliged to keep the stadium open, and give you another chance to get the club going again.

[Eastside Urchin]

My sources tell me that you cannot build on the land because it is on a floodplain.

It is reclaimed land(the river used to run through the pitch until being re routed.)

This is the main reason why both the athletics club & football club continue to use the facility.

I did also hear a while ago that it can only be used for sports

[Scoreline]

I think you'll find many differing opinions from Town fans about the BRFC/1893 situation.

 

For what it's worth I have very little problem with Brimsdown Rovers. Without them we wouldn't be here, simple as that. Relationships could at times be described as 'working' at best, but I personally have no problem with them. I also had no problem with the Enfield FC that carried on until 2007. It wasn't an easy choice to split but the demise of the former club was inevitable, even if we'd have all stayed and even if we'd have all brought 10 mates each to every game with us. The debt was too big and there was no assets. No way out. It was the fault of the previous Chairman and the political regime in Enfield at the time of the sale of Southbury Road.

 

In my personal view (and as THM has previously said) the new 1893 club shouldn't claim the history of EFC. That club was killed (no fault of theirs) and it should be remembered that way. My footballing upbringing was watching Enfield play and it's something I have many great memories of and am very proud of. I have never had a 'big team' or followed anyone else. Enfield were my team and Enfield Town are now my team. In my opinion the spirit of the old club lies with us (something I'm sure 1893 will debate) but we don't claim the history.

 

There has been some very acidic 'banter' from both sides since the formation of 1893 which isn't a pleasant thing, but such is life. I'm not shedding any tears about the grading failure, but that's because they appear to have swallowed Brimsdown Rovers and I don't like to see a club disappear, whoever they are.

 

All about opinions though....

 

On another couple of points: Coup - we weren't chokers last year, chokers implied we should have done better. We were just too [censored], too often.

 

And from what I'm led to believe, 1893 failed the grading not because of the timing of their work, but the quality of it.

It doesn't really matter now, but the stadium is definitely not on a floodplain (that was checked out about 15years ago. Not sure if its on reclaimed land and I would hardly call it a river, and if it was the land would be even more expensive as riverside properties are rather desirable, and as the land is owned by LBH they would have no problems developing it as its not designated green belt land.

 

The idea of flogging off the ground and building a purpose built stadium (on the old LESSA sports ground) was first thought about around 1994 but it was always going to be conditional on both clubs merging to form a Havering FC or whatever. It seems to me that petty jealousies on both sides are preventing both clubs progressing as certain people just cant bear the thought of the other club playing in a decent stadium and achieving some measure of success, even though they would be doing the same.

 

It is also obvious to me that both Enfield clubs share the same pettiness and jealousies, and as a complete outsider it looks to me as if both clubs are also doomed to struggle.

We have been told many times by LBH that the ground cannot be built on,at least 80% of the stadium and it's grounds.This would mean it was virtually worthless to build anything on the rest.

The pitch and surrounding areas were marshland before the stadium was built and if football ceased to be played there would go back to marshland within 12 months as without maintenance it would go back to it's natural state.You simply can't build on it
