No they don’t.

Enfield FC was liquidated in 2007.

There are two Phoenix clubs.

Enfield Town, formed by fans in 2001, have just been promoted to National League South and play in front of decent crowds in Enfield.

Enfield 1893, formed in 2007 by the people who killed the original club, changed their name to Enfield and were lucky to dodge relegation to the Essex League. They play in front of two men and a dog at Bishop’s Stortford.

Neither is the same legal entity as the original club. In spirit, Enfield Town are the old club.

According to the Enfield FC Twitter/X, from next season they will be playing their home games at Hertford Town FC.

Both Hertford and Bishop’s Stortford are within a 45 minute drive from Enfield which seems to be the property developer rule of thumb.

Meanwhile the proper fans can see a far higher class of football in Enfield.

Was going to post this on the ex gull thread with the talk on Liam Rosenior, but thought more relevant here.

One thing I hope we can do more of going forward is cultivate links with ex gulls managing/coaching clubs higher up the pyramid. We have seemingly utilised the link with Paul Hall at QPR well, but we also have the likes of Rosenior, Williamson, Moore managing clubs in the EFL that we need to tap into

....And Garry Monk.

Need to see who's in charge first before any other team would consider sending us their players..........

Good shout. It's this kind of thinking and improvement to all areas of the club we need to bring in. There will be many spinning plates but the new owners I believe will want to explore every avenue from on the field to off the field.

See other clubs are posting dates of pre season friendly. All a bit worrying. Really need to get a move on if we are not going to be left behind.

I think that ship has sailed and we may have to accept that we will be left behind to some extent. I see next season, assuming we will be competing in NLS, as being one of consolidation and hopefully more stability rather than anything else. Build from there fingers crossed.

Obviously until new owners are in situ, no season tickets have been sold. Will I have my old seat ??
