It may be too soon to call tomorrow’s clash with Weymouth a six-pointer but there is no doubting the importance of the fixture.

Victory would taste even sweeter given the game co-incides with our Whole Club Day, a very special annual occasion bringing together all sections of the club including men’s, ladies, youth and disability.

Feel free to invite all your friends to a real family day out complete with stalls, entertainment, a raffle – and hopefully three points!

Turnstiles open at 12.30 and Town’s resident photographer Phil Davison, who is also a solo musician par excellence, will be playing an acoustic gig starting around 1.45.

One of the afore-mentioned stalls will feature special colourfully beaded ETFC bracelets hand made by 10-year-old Enfield schoolgirl Grace Pollington. Another will sell unique, exquisite personal cards (Christmas, birthday, anniversary etc) beautifully designed by loyal Town member Frances Watson. There will also be a Moradi Ouds stall selling men’s and women’s fragrances.

And there’s more. New youth section sponsor Mr Plant Hire will be present with educational vehicles for children to explore while a raffle on the members’ stall will include several exciting prizes including a signed Tottenham Hotspur pennant and a tour of the Spurs stadium for four.

All proceeds on the day will go towards our ongoing crowdfunding project.

As for the game itself, while last Saturday’s display at Hampton and Richmond was unacceptable according to the management team, nobody is in any doubt about the dangers of a repeat performance.

“We had one of the best training sessions we’ve ever had on Thursday,” said Gavin Macpherson as he looked ahead to the visit of Weymouth, who are two points behind us having played a game less. “Minds have been re-focussed and the players understand what’s expected of them.”

“It’s so important that we celebrate Whole Club Day because that is what this club is about. Everyone gets together but what people don’t see is that we interact anyway in training with the junior section on Tuesdays and Thursdays and there is also important interaction with the academy boys. We’re trying to build a pathway from the first team downwards.”  

Going back to the game, Gavin added: “I understand why people are calling it a six-pointer but any game in this league, if you don’t reach certain levels you get beaten, as we’ve experienced. You’d be foolish to look at where Weymouth are and say it’s in the bag. We need to pick ourselves up. There’s certainly an intensity in how we’ve trained. A couple of wins and we could be mid-table.”
