I am as annoyed as anyone about the LSC final dates, a complete shambles. However this is a now a very junior cup and only contested mostly by reserve and youth teams, and is not high on the Hendon radar, who have bigger fish to fry!. A Cup Final is ok and always adds  more  flavour to the end of the season. The game does not have to  be played on a neutral ground, and Tooting as been mentioned, what about Hendon who beat Casuals 5-1 at their new ground at Silver Jubilee Park!

The problem Enfield has caused is not the fault of the Isthmian League or Hendon.   Enfield are challenging the decision to  deduct points through playing an ineligible player, and has to  go to arbitration to  the FA this week and only then will the dates and fixtures be scheduled for the play offs and final. You have to look at the way the London F.Ahave handled the whole process. Not fit for purpose comes to mind!

Hendon have had a great season and must be congratulated, A team without a ground, solely run as community club, a lack of income, and only just failed to get automatic promotion. They deserve to  win the play-offs and take their place in the conference South, this a club who only a few years ago were almost of existence, Well done the fans for saving the club, and obtaining a new ground, and the management team and players for making it a bright future for everyone involved

More than a few lessons could be learnt from what this club as achieved
