Former Saint joins Town

[Duke of York]

Stewart Margolis has signed Sean Ridgway who was previously playing Conference South football with St Albans City this season. Players leaving through the revolving door are Bradley Drisdale and Lucas Williams!

 

Sean Ridgway

Welcome Sean to ETFC, I hope you settle in quickly and show us why your an ex Luton junior and Conference player.

I know I don't often bother to look at the "Not the ETFC" forum but I did take a look today (checking out WiFi availability in a pub) and saw this thread.

 

Luton Town are so far short of money, and have been for some time, that they had to sign a player as an amateur the other year. Their financial situation has led to them starting this season with minus points.

 

St Albans City: I understand that William Verry can't afford to fund them to level they have in the past (there's a credit crunch going on and construction companies are all feeling the pinch!). Saints fans seem a bit annoyed that they have had to let him go.

 

Ridgway looks to be a good signing so let's not start out by being negative. He is a former Rep of Ireland youth international. Let's hope he is as good as Niall Ritchie (another former ROI youth international) was in his spell as an ETFC player and get behind him as he starts his (hopefully productive) Enfield Town career.

 

Don't forget, Conference South and North are both two divisions higher than we are now. To suggest that we deserve players who are that good or higher would be rather arrogant so please don't do it until we are (as I hope we will be) at that level. Yes, I know some of us watched the now defunct Enfield FC at Conference National level but that was a different club in a different time and the effect of automatic promotion to the Football League wasn't really there until after EFC got relegated.

 

I would like to think that our supporters would remember that whatever happens it is still our club and that the players turning out for our club aren't trying to get us relegated. Keep hold of those thoughts and perhaps we can keep on going without letting go of the fact that we are all supposed to be enjoying following our side! Yes, I know it can be difficult at times, but please don't suggest that we deserve to be higher than we are because so far we don't.

you hit the nail firmly on the head Cyclops.

[Enfield United]

I cant recall anyone saying we deserve or should be higher on our forum of late (the past 6 months at least) we just had the expectations of an exciting season which unfortunately has started poorly in respect of results and some performances.

 

Otherwise I agree totally with Mr C.

I think it must be, by implication, the view of those who want a new manager!
