Folkestone v Enfield Town

[55 seasons]

Richard Katemons reference to crowds following the great Enfield sides of the 70s and 80s is correct and to my mind we are in a similar position to the old club before Tommy Unwin arrived as chairman. We were a mid table Isthmian side struggling to compete with the high spenders. Yes he had to put his hand into his pocket, but he also recognised the club needed another funding stream and hence built the highly successful Starlight club. A venture on such a scale would be too risky for Town but sadly we are unlikely to sustain National League status on current levels of income.

You have put your finger on the true reality 55S. But to day it would be hard even if we had a benefactor as times and peoples expectations are different. Many a time when the TV came to Southbury Road they would show all the teams playing on the Playing fields. Where are they now??

Unfortunately, as things stand, the only thing that would immediately improve our position is to increase entrance charges but with our product that would only be counter productive and we would start to lose even the ardent supporters.
