[ShedBoy]

Canvey Island Football Club have today announced the naming of both the Seated Stand and Press Box area at the club’s Brockwell Stadium home.

 

The Seated Stand will be officially re-named “The Jack King Stand” to recognise the King Family’s contribution to the club’s history during recent times.

 

Club Chairman George Frost said “ Both myself and the Board of Directors felt it was the right time to recognise Jack and his family for the excellent investment and commitment that was shown during the most successful spell in the club's history. I’m sure Jack and his family will take great pleasure from this gesture.”

 

Additionally the club's Press Box area will be formally re-named “The Dick Marshall Press Box” in memory of Dick who sadly past away recently after a short illness.

 

Club Director Chris Sutton said “Dick was a massive part of our club and his presence on match days will be greatly missed. His contribution towards the club’s success was immense with his unwavering support and positive media coverage with the Evening Echo. It’s an honour for the club to remember Dick by re-naming the Press Box after him”

 

Both presentations will take place prior to kick off at the clubs home pre season friendly against Southend United on Monday 12th July, 7:45pm Kick Off.
