A Resolution At Last?

[Matt H]

At a meeting at Wembley Stadium today (Thursday July 15) the League has reached an agreement with Grays Athletic FC and East Thurrock United FC for Grays Athletic to play at East Thurrock's ground for the next 2 seasons.

 

Consequently the League has agreed to admit Grays Athletic to Division One North of the Ryman League for next season.

 

This agreement is subject to certain conditions one of which is the approval of the FA Leagues Committee which meets tomorrow afternoon. Subject to that approval the fixtures for the Premier Division will be issued at 5pm tomorrow. The fixtures for the Step 4 divisions will be issued as soon as possible next week.

Seems as though the balance has been restored in Ryman 1 N/S with Ashford Town (Kent) resigning from the Ryman League. This looks to pave the way for Chatham to return to Ryman South, thus having 22 teams in each league, rather than the odd number in the North made by the addition of Grays Athletic.
