Latest on the future of Enkalon football teams looks bleak this week after the club has announced that they will cease trading in the very near future. Anyone with any views on this matter please post your comments.

We have got to do something. Enkalon has been producing the cream of local soccer talent for years now, we can't let a great club die.
What about a "Save Enkalon" campaign lads?

What will happen now that the club has been sold?? Will the team move to a council pitch?? What about the afternoon side?

To think of a great club like Enkalon playing on a council pitch would be a disaster. There would have to be a ground share with the afternoon team. But where?

I'm confused Enkalonfan, are you saying that the Enkalon Social Club will cease trading?

Yes Bremner. The social club is closing at the end of March. The pitches are to be sold to Junction 1 for developement. So that leaves the afternoon, morning and bar teams looking for a new ground!

A ground share would b ideal to keep both teams going, but as u said, where?? The afternoon team couldnt play on a council pitch and stay in the league they are in at the minute.
What would be the chances of junction 1 building us a pitch and while the wives are shopping the husbands could come and watch a match!

The only ground share option for the afternoon team is with Chimney Corner. I have to say that I am disgusted with the decision of selling it to Junction One. The council should realise that the rate paying people of Antrim should have a say and the council should not invest their time and effort into a white elephant like junction one.
I wouldnt let this drop Enkalonfan. There must be something someone can do about this.
Does this mean that the Enkalon foundation will cease, if it does then a lot of other people will suffer as well.

theres quite a few teams would suffer along with the football teams, the darts, pool, bowls etc. I wouldnt think theres much we can do about it. Hopefully we will be able to get a forum pitch, though that wont help the afternoon side

I blame the comittee at Enkalon. They are stuck in a timewarp. If they would put something on in the club to attract young people the club could be a wee gold mine. Instead they get "star" names like Hugo Duncan! All he is going to attract is the blue rinse brigade who sip one white wine and soda water all night! Mind you they still throw their knickers on stage.....mmmmmm......lol

If the ground is sold who gets the money. Are the members of enkalon not due something?? I know the club closes at the start of April when all memberships need renewing.
Some of the money should be used to good use to get the teams some pitches. There are not enough pitches in Antrim as it is and to loose 2 more is dire.
