Rhodes Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I gather an announcement is imminent folks, fingers crossed that common sense prevails and Edgware Town are allowed to resume at a decent level of football, ie Step 6 or, if the worst comes to the worst, Step 7 rather than have the embarrassment of being banished into park football and the Middlesex League Premier Division.

ETFC2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Cheers Karen, you beat me to it.... Its not just Edgware waiting, teams from the North West Counties are also in the same boat. (they have released the same message. Hopefully be sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imminent? You mean later this week or next? And why should ETFC be allowed to 'jump' straight to Step Six? Why not Step Seven which could include SSMFL Div Two, Herts County or Middlesex County Leagues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beano Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I gather an announcement is imminent folks, fingers crossed that common sense prevails and Edgware Town are allowed to resume at a decent level of football, ie Step 6 or, if the worst comes to the worst, Step 7 rather than have the embarrassment of being banished into park football and the Middlesex League Premier Division. The Middlesex County League Premier Division is a Step 7 League, so isn't "park football". Whether or not any new club should be allowed to enter the NLS at anything other than the lowest level isn't my decision, but I think parachuting a new Edgware Town in at any level above Step 7 would be a bit of a kick in the proverbial for those clubs who have worked hard just to reach Step 7. It is possible to go from park football to Step 3 - my own club did it and it took years of hard work. While we have just dropped back to Step 5, we have a sustainable club and we are where we are on merit. If a new club suddenly appeared one step below us out of nowhere, I wouldn't be pleased. That's not to say I wish Edgware any ill - far from it. I enjoyed many visits to the White Lion Ground and also to Silver Jubilee Park when Kingsbury Town played there. I hope the new club does well, but it should start at the bottom and work its way up, whether that's from MCFL Premier or SSML Two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winslow Boy Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Agree with all of that. 100% they should earn the right like every other team and I have no doubt they will over the seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodes Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The Middlesex County League Premier Division is a Step 7 League, so isn't "park football". Aren't a number of the pitches roped off though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munchkin Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Neither of the leagues have full Step 7 status. Middlesex is 7a and SSMFL Div 2 is 7b Edited May 20, 2014 by Munchkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETFC2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 FA have confirmed Edgware town will be in SSML div one next season. Just be released on their Twitter site. the leatherhead lip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munchkin Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Nothing against ETFC and wish them well, but that is a disgrace. The only reason any team should not start at Step 7 is for safety reasons, I.e they have too many fans for step 7 club facilities to accommodate safely.
