News reaches 'Banned Blog' that this weeks Non League Today paper has an article in which they mention that two clubs bearing the name of Edgware could be in action next season.
Edgware Town FC chairman Ken Batten was quoted as saying that Edgware Town FC who resigned from the Ryman Leauge Div 1 North this summer due to lack of funds, are taking a year out but with the help of Astrologer and Middlesex football fan Russell Grant have set up a fund to bring the club back as soon as possible.
Meanwhile a club calling itself Edgware FC which was initially MY brainchild have said they will be in action next season kicking off at step 6 or 7.
Mr Batten said that 'Gavin Shaw our old match secretary is spreading rumours that are nonsense regarding a new Edgware club"
Mr Batten should know that I am no longer associated with ANY Edgware football project after it was brought to my attention that the individual who was putting the project together has an unsavoury past.
I doubt that either club will see the light of day next season, specially the new Edgware FC who have nothing whatsoever to do with the old club and plan to groundshare at Waltham Abbey FC or Chesthunt FC in the Herts County League.
The club plan to wear a yellow and black quarterd kit instead of the historic Green & White of Edgware Town.
I guess its a case of WATCH THIS SPACE!

The new Edgware FC does seem to be a sham. Do any of the people trying to set up the new club live in Edgware or have any affiliation to the old club or the town itself? Will any of the support (supposing it gets any!) have anything to do with Edgware given that they will be playing miles away? They may as well call it something else more relevant to the place where the home matches will happen and have done with it!!
Personally I would only be interested in any new Edgware venture if it could somehow play at one of the as yet uncompleted grounds at Prince Edward Playing Fields.
