A couple of weeks back Baiteze FC beat won their first FA Sunday Cup title after a 2-0 win over Highgate Albion at the Den.

The winning side included former Blues Adeyinka Cole, Alex Cruickshank, Shomari Barnwell and Usman Adenji

Other former Blues that didn't make the squad are Calum Ibe, Frankie Hession-Harris and Jay Knight

The Baiteze squad also included Alex Teniola and Steve Carvell, both well known in the Isthmian League

Quite possibly. Starting up a team like this is easy but sustaining it is difficult. You have to be able to develop a community around your club and have your own ground. I believe that without both of these in place it is difficult to progress past Step 4

I agree Raven.

You know what they say "Hashtag today Gone Tomorrow".
What Bloody next FADism FC.
When the Novelty wears off so does the gate/money.

Towns, Cities and Counties Never really Die. as they are a geographical location.
You're up against it when the initial backers move on or pass away. if you are Ford FC or Hashtag, Hub fc. or WWW. fc.

Just go with Gimmick fc they would be honest. But all Gimmick's have a life span.
