Been to watch Wealdstone FC play a few times over the years and i found some of there supporters a bit arrogant to be honest but obviously that's not all of there supporters. Was also told that there number one supporter The Wealdstone Raider hardly goes to any Wealdstone FC games. Ruislip Manor FC gone but not forgotten.

Munchkin Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yes I'm sure a team in step 6 will worry a team in step 2. Bit like Hemel being annoyed that Kings Langley got promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoldend Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 "I see that incredibly Edgware Town have somehow managed to bag a pre-season friendly with, wait for it, Stafford Rangers at their palatial Marston Road home on Saturday 19 July, kick off 3.00." Estimated 260 mile round trip is a bit of a trek for a friendly. Good fixture for Edgware though even if Rangers have dropped down a few leagues.

Apparently the club wanted a trip away and have a weekend away so the players can bond. The majority of the lads wont know each other at the start of pre-season, so an overnight stay after a good fixture like Stafford will hopefully bring the lads closer. Looking at the fixtures, Edgware seem to have selected a good mix of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grapes is a good boozer and après is a decent bar. Good b&b in town centre called the vine.should be a good trip. Will your spokesmen Mr Rhodes be going and giving us a blow by blow account of the game? Just make sure he actually buys a round.

Rhodes Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 and i found some of there supporters a bit arrogant to be honest Ruislip Manor FC gone but not forgotten. Savagebee - Yes, I couldn't agree with you more and Wealdstone killed off Ruislip Manor didn't they so they could get their grubby hands on the ground, a Club with over 70 years of history at Grosvenor Vale.

Loose Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Will you be amongst the mighty Edgware Army that travel to Marston Road Rhodesly? Can you make a prediction about how many away fans will attend? No answer from the "Great Man" himself unfortunately guys, however watch this space as he's keen to say. Maybe his new team will let us know if their official spokesperson Mr Rhodes will be on the team coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Er, no. They didn't. You might want to be careful posting claims like that without evidence, as you might get sued. Ruislip Manor had been struggling for years. Wealdstone had their Reserve and Under-18 teams playing at the ground and were maintaining the pitch, either in lieu of rent or in exchange for a reduction (I'm not sure which). I remember taking Ashford Town (Middlesex) Reserves to Ruislip Manor First Team for a pre-season game and it was a nightmare. They had one bloke trying to do everything, didn't have the right kit with them and the grass was up to my calf. They were Step 6 at the time, I think. It was later that season that a consortium connected to Wealdstone bought the Social Club which controls the site. Ruislip Manor were, as far as I can recall, offered the chance to stay at the ground but the new team - Tokyington Manor - chose to do something else. At that time, the Social Club had significant debts and would have potentially gone under.In that scenario, the ground would have potentially been lost to sport. Instead, it has been enhanced and has helped to revive a very famous club - the first to do the Non-League Double, let's not forget (so more famous than Stafford Rangers). What killed Ruislip Manor was apathy. Not Wealdstone. Edited June 3, 2014 by Beano nellie, Loose, Baldock_Town and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Newing Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Quite simply it will never be the same club in my eyes but it is very pleasing to see what I classed as my club ( 8 seasons as a player during the 1990's) ( 3 as a manager with my pal Del Deanus ) back and ready to play again. I finished my playing career at SJP with Kingsbury Town and it was just as sad to see how they disappeared ( name acquired by London Tigers who as a result acquired their status in the Non League pyramid if I remember correctly ). I would fully expect to see Hendon FC and Edgware Town ground sharing at SJP within the next couple of seasons and if it means two local non league clubs having a more secure future anyone who likes and enjoys the game at this level should be happy. Step 7 or Step 6 does it really matter , when the old club folded in 2008 it was just starting to really go places . I don't think you will see the new set up progress as quickly as some people seem to be suggesting. I wish them all the best and I will be popping down once the new season gets under way to see hopefully a few old faces both supporters and officials alike.
