Adverts = money (usually), if your club's scrapping for every penny you'd understand.

 

The council had nothing to do with us leaving Sungate, we walked out because we fell out big time with the landlord. He was asking for more and more rent, asking us to pay all the bills on top of that and taking no responsibility for maintenance of the site, then telling us we couldn't have the reserve and youth teams playing there because it damaged the pitch.

 

But you're right, it was crap.

 

And the Boro derives from 1937 when the Borough of Romford was created. The nickname was applied to the football club and it's stuck ever since, even though the local authority is now the London Borough of Havering.

Fair point Matthew re who to support. I would follow ETFC all the way to the premiership (with al the politics) if I could. However, many of the Conference clubs and also the better clubs from the three feeder leagues would survive in the footbal league third division. It is the limited promotional opportunites that have thwarted the ambitions of many of these (including Enfield FC) in the past.

I think that at least the top six teams in the third and second divisions could survive in the division above. The biggest gulf is between the Premiership and the first division and a lot of that is down to finances.

 

When you get down to non-League levels you find there are a lot of players who could play at a much higher standard but decide not to (whether because of full time employment outside of football, or because they like being the best at whichever level they play at and so pick a low level where they can be guaranteed to be best, or whatever). This is especially true now with all the ex-League players dropping down now that the TV money isn't there. Teams at the top of non-League will always have a good chance of giving a good account of themselves against League sides even if they don't win.

well apart from that. that is a hundres year old exception so itr doesnt count.

 

Maybe there are good league players in the lower league, but a lot of them are older than league players because younger men want more success. But the managers at lower levels arent as good, and that is what seperates the league from the non league. No one can deny this.

Your point is true, but there always has been, and alsways will be, a league team who wins the cup, and plenty of league teams who thrash lower division teams. </blockquote>

Or the years from 1872 to 1888.
