Edgware GONE.....

[OldTowner]

Another Football Club goes under.

Announcement today from Edgware today -

They have had to close down due to their ground being sold for residential development and they cannot maintain sponsors or ground past December 2007.

Oh how we at Town ( and other Clubs ) know all about this.

 

So, another bad day for non League football.

 

I wonder what the League will do to replace Edgware, if indeed they can do anything so late.

ESL Club, application looming ?

[Arkwright]

Really sad to here that, had a soft spot for that place.

[Steph]

I also enjoyed the White Lion Ground.

Thanks for your kind wishes, if any of you are free, please come to the WLG for the last ever match on July 21st

Gav, apart from the fact that you weren't due to have a home friendly on that day according to your web site, I can't see there being a game on the 21st. All the Edgware players will now be finding themselves other clubs and will probably be playing or trialling for other clubs on 21st. Sadly, you will now struggle to field a side that day and, if you can't field a strong side, nobody will want to play you. I think the last game may have already been played.

I had a big soft spot for the bar.... shame was looking forward to going back there again........

[Gazza]

Cant wait to see who replaces them, some bizarre decisions by the powers that be can be expected very soon!!

[ronin]

Don`t think they will be replaced now, division will run 1 club short.

May I join the other fans saying how sorry I was to hear of Edgware's demise.

Thank you Enfield Town fans, this is todays pres release

 

A press release on the Ryman League site today offers encouraging news regarding the future of the club and chances of football this season

 

Press Release

 

EDGWARE TOWN FC

The Club have started to put a rescue package together, and expect to confirm they have secured their financial security. They have use of their ground until the end of 2007, and are exploring its possible continued use after that to the end of the season, together with alternative arrangements to allow them to play the season through elsewhere. The Club have requested a little more time in these respects, and have promised to keep the League aware of on-going developments

Good Luck with the rescue.

[The Invisible Man]

What a pleasant and refreshing surprise that the FA and/or League are, for once, being supportive of one of their member clubs in its hour of need, and reasonable about giving time to sort something out.

 

We get so used to the badge and blazer mandarins and jobsworths chucking their weight about - unless of course it concerns a high profile professional club.

 

Good luck Edgware.
