Leyton United (Associate Member) Associate Membership is targeted at new clubs who are wishing to join the Amateur Football Combination in a season or two, and may be of particular interest to Youth Clubs who are looking to expand into Adult football. Normally such clubs are asked to "play a season of friendlies" prior to joining the league, and Associate Membership has been introduced to help new clubs to organise these friendlies. Associate Membership allows a club to have its details published on the website and receive the weekly bulletin, in order to arrange friendly games, but does not allow the club to play league football, nor have any voting rights within the league. We would encourage clubs looking for friendlies to play Associate Member clubs and give us feedback on their suitability to join the AFC in the usual way.
