1950 was also notable for the arrival of Tufnell Park FC (formed 1907), who merged with Edmonton Borough to form Tufnell Park Edmonton FC. Ever present in the Isthmian League since joining following the First World War, they had finished adrift at the bottom of the table at the end of the 1949-50 season, and had been playing at Hendon, and latterly Cheshunt since losing their own ground in Holloway in 1938. However, poor attendances had prompted a return to North London.

With the new club taking up Tufnell Park’s place in the Isthmian League, it was necessary to effect further improvements to the Barrass Stadium, and to address the need for seated accommodation in particular. A central portion of the grass bank on the north side was excavated, concreted, and a large roof erected with seats installed beneath. At the same time concrete terracing was laid beneath the existing cover on the south side. Despite improvements to the ground, the team struggled on the pitch, and Tufnell Park Edmonton again finished bottom of the Isthmian League in 1950-51. They occupied the same sorry position at the end of the following season, after which they joined the Spartan League for a couple of years, and then the Delphian League. In 1960 there was another name change, this time to Edmonton FC. There was no direct connection to the original club of the same name, but it was hoped that it would help generate more support. Four years later the Delphian League was disbanded and the club found itself placed in Division Two of the Athenian League.
