Redbridge FC

[Smiler]

Foxy; as a fellow Barkingsider what do you think about Redbridge FC in Ryman Premier (or whatever league) next season playing at Barkingside? Does this demote Ilfod?

Does it demote Dagenham & Redbridge or just confuse the fans?

The Daggers are upset as they have always said that they would keep the Redbridge part; and thus two clubs with this name. Also is this to be a merger with Barkingside.

Morning all....

 

In my opinion I think its excellent to have three clubs playing in the London Borough of Redbridge.

To be fair Ford Utd haven't had any support from Ford the company and dont even play at their sports ground any more so why not have a change of name.

Its an excellent catchment area so by changing their name like Leyton Pennant did to Waltham Forest hopefully it will attract more fans through the door.

Personally I cannot wait to see Ilford entertain Redbridge FC in the next couple of years.

 

Good luck to them is what I say.

So Redbridge may end up Ford and Barkingside in disguise. Will the new merged team drop to the ESL me thinks not! Barkingside will just cease to exist then or play in a reserves league? Shame.

Thought it a bit rich to read Dave Andrews, Dagenham chairmans comments that the name 'Redbridge' belongs to the Daggers. If the cuckoos had any sense of history, they'd be called Leytonstone & Ilford & Dagenham & Redbridge Forest & Walthamstow Avenue FC to show people older than 15 how many historic clubs they swallowed up in the eighties.

 

Altogether now, give us an L

It is also strange that a club originally from the boro of Dagenham that was playing at the ground in boro of Havering goes and calls itself after yet another boro. Confusing or what!
