Promotion Issues & Other


Recommended Posts

Greetings to everyone in Web world. MRUNKNOWN is now fully online and will be be, as a ETFC fan, posting my thoughts on this forum.

 

What the blinking hell is going on with the promotion??? I get the terrible feeling the FA (and the powers that be, whoever that may be) are moving the goalposts yet again. I can just see it happening now, Winchester and Lymington winning their appeals and us loosing a play-off game in Deepest Darkest Hampshire sometime in May thus thwarting our triumphant and rightful promotion.

 

For this year read last year. The announcement of promotion (its looks like non-promotion last year was a blessing in disquise as the Ryman Div 2 is harder to win) and then the realisation of another season travelling up and down the A13 and A127 and the M11/A10 for Sawbo of course. For some Essex Senior League QUALITY football.

 

I just hope the announcement next Tuesaday will be good and we can go UP to whereever its going to be.

 

The FA and RYMAN league look like they have got a job on there hands as ILFORD, ENFIELD FC (possibly) and CHESHUNT (on there way down) all look like they are going to the SOUTHERN based Ryman Div 1.

 

It all looks a bit of a shambles really but its all good fun i suppose. Look are poor old Egham Town last year being put in the WESTERN DIV 1 of BEAZER HOMES/DOC MARTENS having to travel to places like TAUNTON and BROMSGROVE. No wonder they finshed bottom.

 

Are you bored yet reading this???

 

Whilst i am here i would like to propose the following change to the ESL to liven things up a bit??

 

Almagamation with the ESSEX INTERMIDIATE LEAGUE (of course the FA would have to recognise it as a senior league) and making Division One of this league into Division 2 of the ESL and divsion 2 divsion 3 etc, with two teams up, two teams down relegation/promotion.

 

In the EIL at moment are teams like FRENFORD SENIOR, EPPING, WHITE ENSIGN, SHENFIELD, RAYLEIGH TOWN, CANNING TOWN (who play at CLAPTON's ground i think), WHITE NOTLEY (who we all know), BISHOPS STORTFORD SWIFTS, LEYTONSTONE UNITED, BASILDON TOWN.

 

This radical and GREAT idea would liven things right up at the bottom of the league. What about ground grading etc??? Just lower the bar a bit i think, when only 30-50-70 people attend most matches who needs masiveley stringent ground regs etc.

 

Anyone agree or disagree???

 

Two further questions:

 

1) What ever happened to Mike Ferguson the bannana??

2) What ever happened to Southbury Road??

 

MRUNKNOWN signing out and wishing everyone a great Friday night and whatever you will be doing be safe!!!!!!!!

I agree.

Ditto. That is why I am in favour of an idea being floated by the ESL Chairman elsewhere as to amalgamating with the Kent League.

No real hardship crossing Betty's Bridge a few times a season, plus the attendances in Kent seem to be at least double those this side of the stream. All good and no bad as far as I am concerned.
