Enfield used to be a small market town on the edge of the forest about a day's travel north of London. But as Greater London has grown, Enfield has become a residential suburb The current borough was formed in 1965 from the former boroughs of Southgate, Enfield and Edmonton. In Roman times, Enfield was connected to Londinium by Ermine Street, the great Roman road which stretched all the way up to York. Enfield Town FC was formed on 23rd June 2001, when the members of the Enfield Supporters' Trust voted overwhelmingly to break away from the Isthmian League Club and start afresh. The story really began in September 1999 though, when Enfield FC became homeless following the sale of the Southbury Road stadium, it's home since 1936. 
The club are based at Goldsdown Road, the home of Brimsdown Rovers FC. I first visited this venue back in 1987. At the time the ground was very basic in terms of spectator facilities. The emergence of Enfield Town FC has completely changed that and their progress up the pyramid has necessitated facilities to match.
Apart from the covered seated stand (above) there is also some covered standing opposite and behind one of the goals.
The young Tottenham Hotspur side (managed by Clive Allen) were jolted after 5 minutes when Enfield Town took the lead but by the interval had countered with 4 goals following some impressive interplay. A further 3 strikes after the break from a decent passing display meant that just 5 days after Zidane's HEADline grabbing performance in the World Cup Final, we were underway for the 2006-07 season. Meanwhile Spurs 1st XI were just completing their 2nd match in France. Was there any cricket this summer ?
