Anyone else remember the 2000-01 season when Canvey Island played 21 matches in 23 days.

 

 

[syd_lexic]

I vaguely remember that season. It was a bit wet that season & It was my last season playing. Think Canvey Island lost to Southend in the FA Cup & finished runners-up Gravesend & Notthfleet in the Ryman Prem, although it could have been Dagenham & Redbridge.

and won the FA Trophy against Forest Green at Villa Park.

Wasn't that 2002 ? & we went back in 2003 & lost to Hednesford ? Could be wrong though.

won it in 2001 lost in final 2004,cant believe that Wardy is still playing,they were the days of stimson and tilson in same team.Kingy made a mistake increasing admission from £7 to £9 at start of 01-02 season,crowds started to drop thereafter but he put the club on the map like Karl did with Hornchurch and Ants now doing with Concord.
