The Cold End has recently written about the sad demise of Southbury Road a decade ago. Who would of thought that on that day in 1999 with all the talk of the redevelopment of Cheshunt FC's Theobald's Lane and the ill fated supporter's link on the Southbury Corner development the club known as Enfield FC would not exist and that two clubs with the name of Enfield Town and Enfield 1893 would exist. Happier times are in store for our new club Enfield Town when we are scheduled to move into the Queen Elizabeth Stadium on Donkey Lane just a stone's throw from the old club's spiritual home at Southbury Road for the beginning of the 2010/11 season. All the club officials, board members and helpers must be thanked and admired for their tireless work in moving the club forward and back to a place we can all call 'home'. Make no mistake there is still a long way to go and much hard work left to transform the run down partially derelict stadium into a nice and shiny Ryman League ground. The day when Enfield Town play at their own 'home' ground for the first time will be triumph for the first fan's formed football club.
THE 'DONKEY DOME' IS THE FUTURE!
