Grays go full-time

[Ryan.c]

According to the Grays Athletic official website, (www.graysathletic.co.uk) Grays are now a full-time outfit. Has the world gone mad......

[Keon D]

Seems like it! Can you imagine professional footballers playing in the crappy "stadium" of theirs!

But who knows, maybe they've started off a new trend.

[Simon BTFC]

It'll all end in tears.....

Any odds on Canvey following Grays on the full-time front?

[Guest]

one set of full time pikies is enough thank you very much.

[c'mon ricay]

I really hope its a disaster for them adn cost them money even they wont be able to afford. How did they get money as Grays is such a pikey [censored] hole

[GazzaBTFC]

Oooooo, another team that will have financial problems next year. And with our off casts (didn't they perform to form when we played 'em - eh?) not alot really worth worrying about

[Guest]

strong rumour that grays are about to up sticks and groundsher at east thurrock. Selling there ground might explain how they can afford to go full time

[Guest]

Your cast offs will not be at Grays next season.Its all change.

Yes we will groundshare with ETUFC for next season

[Simon BTFC]

Why am I thinking about Telford here? One of the first conf teams to go full time a few years back, reallised it was waste of time and returned to semi-pro status having burned off tons of £££ along the way.

 

Moving to East Thurrock seems odd, at least when (if) we move to Bas Vegas we'll be going to a better stadium. East Thurrock and their 2 bus stops was hardly mpressive (oh and get better burgers). I assume they won't be taking the bar with them (the only thing that raised them above the morass).

 

It could be the start of the long mooted Thurrock United?

[GazzaBTFC]

I didn't go to the game but didn't we play at East Thurrock this season and th pitch was sh*te (so I was told)?

 

No changer there then....lol

[Simon BTFC]

We went there in January, our first game after the winter break in the ESC

 

Pitch was quite hard, but all the pitches we played on at that time of year were, and bumpy.

 

Burgers were terrible - see "alternative awards thread"

 

Quite a small, nondescript ground as I recall, although it was easy to get to.

[Guest]

I think East Thurrock is only a B Grade ground so I think the groundshare story is only a myth (hopefully)

If were to move there and it became permanant I and many other Grays fans would no longer look on it as being a Grays team.
