Views from the Sieve

I know we’ve got Maidstone first, but tickets for Saturday’s game at Enfield are now on sale at £15 for grown ups.

I imagine we will now take a fair few fans with us. Their ground capacity says 2500-3000.

They average about 6-700, only when they’ve played Torquay and Chelmsford did they get a decent attendance and that was only 1200, a win tonight we might take 500 Saturday, don’t see them getting 2000 home fans. They can shift their segregation numbers to accommodate more of us based on tickets sales.

A far cry from the old Enfield fc who played at Southbury Road in the town during the seventies and eighties. They were a massive club in non league in those days and hammered my old Dagenham fc team in the Amateur Cup 5-1 at Wembley.

I remember it only too well. Dougie Robertson had been a real stalwart all season but had a stinker that day.

5-1 that's going back a bit, I remember it well. They were the top team in those days. I remember going to Their ground a couple of times, one for the football and the other was in 1984 "the starlight rooms" to see Jimmy Tarbuck and Kenny Lynch. Did, the ground get sold off for a supermarket and they were promised a new ground with the dosh but it never happened.
