Comments on: Enfield FC and Lincoln City, Crossing Paths http://pitchinvasion.net/blog/2008/02/13/enfield-fc-and-lincoln-city-crossing-paths/ A soccer blog featuring essays, news and photography exploring soccer around the world Tue, 03 Apr 2012 22:48:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: The Hooded Finger http://pitchinvasion.net/blog/2008/02/13/enfield-fc-and-lincoln-city-crossing-paths/comment-page-1/#comment-7393 The Hooded Finger Fri, 29 May 2009 21:20:40 +0000 http://pitchinvasion.net/blog/2008/02/13/enfield-fc-and-lincoln-city-crossing-paths/#comment-7393 Ian - a fascinating read. I grew up in Enfield, and followed avidly the club's Amateur Cup exploits in the 60s. It was always a surprise to me that they were unable to capitalise on their APL success. I seem to recall reading somewhere else that they had trouble with one of those "visionary" chairmen you excoriate in another article, and that that was the reason for the financial woes which resulted in the loss of Southbury Road. As for Lincoln City, that wasn't the first time they suffered successive relegations. They fell out of the old Division Two in the early 60s and straight through to Div Four the following year. Finally, my heartfelt thanks to JugeJudy409 and Carolmeaney 491 for their eloquent and informative comments. Ian – a fascinating read.

Whenever I go to non-league (or just amateur saturday afternoon football for that matter) I fall in love with the game again. All this money-making, commercially-driven, in-love-with-TV top-level football is hard to stomach these days. A good dose of reality and a watch of something like Farlsley Celtic v Stalybridge on a cold Saturday afternoon is a joy to behold and, for me, beats watching a 0-0 Premiership game any day of the week.

How the hell do you know so much?! I know you go to a lot of these games but all this history needs a lot of digging, because it's very difficult to find news/press releases on non-league football in general. So I can imagine how difficult it is to dig up the history of many of these lesser known clubs. Keep them coming here and on 200%. PS: Cheers, for the link back to my site on the sidebar of your personal blog -- really flattering! I had to post this from here, because you don't allow users without either a blogger ID or an open ID. Why don't you allow us to just post our nickname and our website? Or how about shifting to wordpress like this blog? :) Fantastic stuff Ian. How the hell do you know so much?!

I'm FAR to young to remember relegation, but that dog is cursed to this day by City fans. Haha, I never expected to see Lincoln City mentioned on here.
