Is Enfield (1893) F.C. really a "completely new club", as this article claims? I mean, in 1986 Middlesbrough went into administration and were officially/legally re-formed as Middlesbrough (1986) F.C., but nobody treats the post-1986 version as a separate club. If, however, it's felt that Enfield (1893) really is a completely separate club, then it should have its own, separate, WP article. Currently this article can't seem to decide which way to play it - the infobox makes it look like the club's defunct, but the current ESL template is on there and the article isn't in the "defunct clubs" category.....

Neither of the external links seems to think that it is a new club, even though it is officially and legally. The Football Club History Database has just continued the page for Enfield, even though it normally starts a new page when a club changes its name, and EFC Fans also just continues, mentioning a 'restart' and a change of name. Perhaps the article should stay neutral by mentioning both points of view. Coyets 19:22, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
