Essex Senior Cup News

[Hookey]

[color:"blue"] Grays Athletic have been removed from the Essex Senior Cup after they fielded ineligible players in their Third Round tie against Harlow Town . The Essex County FA have decided to reinstate Harlow Town and they will host Canvey Island in Round Four. [/color] <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wow.gif" alt="" />

is that still the worst non-league ground ever, only closely pursued by Croydon

[South Mouth]

Bloody too right! Last time i went there, i was with Ken and we sat there for the whole game frozen because the way the ground is, the wind just keeps on coming at ya! Saw Boylan score with the last kick and made up our minds to get the hell out of there! Probably the most uncomfortable ground that i have been too. Saying that, i never went to Croydon's ground and i've heard many stories about that sh*thole!

I can't believe they will be let in the conference with that ground its a real dump. I know Canvey's ground is poor but its nothing compared to that ground.

The only good thing about that ground is you are very close to the pitch and Judas Stimpson got loads of stick.

it--is--this--year i think there talking about harlow's ground. i went there last year for a cup game we drew them in and the ground isnt very nice to say the least and they have a running track around the pitch so your a million miles away from the action. You are right though about grays ground, it is an absolute dump.

[A Non E Mouse]

Have a mate who follows Grays Ath. and he said they have done a lot of work at the ground and it has improved a hell of a lot.

 

He also Emailed me about the cup game and what had been said on the Grays forum.

 

This is one of the comments HE felt was quite funny - not sure I agree with him.........

Just as well after all we don't want Canvey in our new ground to contaminate it.

I think Harlow knocked us out of the ESC last season. Never actually been to the ground as Harlow is an awful place to get to by public transport but heard a few horror stories about it.

 

Worst ground has to be Romford's old Sungate ground in Collier Row. That was truly terrible!!
