Hey Hey Hey Urchins

[Taking the Mick]

Just wanna say been impressed withthe way your club has handled the last year, your fans base seems good still and you seem to be performing well.

 

The Athletic are doing well still and Johnny Martin is a Grays legend, how he didnt get in your side that much is beyond me he has be a revelation and I wouldnt be suppriced if he is being looked at by league clubs.

 

Out of the players we got from you Westy was basically everything you decribed but the remaining four seem real top top blokes, Jamie Stuart and Matthews have all the time in the world for the fans and Bayes is just mental.

 

Hope you come up at the first time of asking lads and ladies and best of luck for the season.

who do you support?

Thanks a lot Army man, JM was in our side but didn't start in yours straight away methinks.

Anyway glad to see that they're all ok and wish you well for the future.

Last time I was at Grays (last season), I would guess it could only hold two thousand max. Has the stand behind the goal been built yet?

 

What's the capacity now?

 

I would not like to think that they would get barred from the Football League because the ground capacity is too low.

[Taking the Mick]

At the moment its officially 4000-4500 but there are plans that will go into operation if we get into the league that will take a summer to complete. I think you get a three season period to improve the ground which I seriously think we wont need anyway.

 

The stand behind the goal has indeed been built and has now been re-allocated to the home fans after some poor fan turnouts from away fans.

 

With regards johnny Martin is true he didnt start straight away but now he is one of the important parts of the team.

Good work on Saturday turning over Exeter in front of 6,500. I had a mate there who's a Grecians fan and he fully admitted that Grays taught them a footballing lesson.

 

All the best to you, the lads and with getting into the league. Special regards to Johnny martin, I remember bumping into the man at Upminster Bridge station as he arrived for the game against Darlington (I think, it could have been Tranmere). Top man and Urchins legend. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/applaus.gif" alt="" />

Agreed Mitch, Grays are now fully out of our reach and therefore not a "rival" so to speak.

 

As much as I wish them luck it will always be with a hint of "what if's"!!

 

Bring on Rumferd, our new rivals (this season)!!

Thank you very much, being a Grays fan in Exeter felt like being the only Syrian in Beirut!!!!!!

Grays...... who cares ?????

 

Where's the so called fans come from ?????

[Taking the Mick]

Same place any fans come from when a team becomes successful.

 

When you were good you gained fast, when you became poor you lost fans its footballs progression

[Trigger]

 

Became poor...... go away child.

[maxinio]

Cheers Army Man, that was JM's style, glad to see MW doing a fine job.

What appnd with Bayzo? did he get competition?

[Taking the Mick]

Hey not sure what Triggers problem is???

 

You asked where our fans come from I am honnest with you.

 

Bayes to be fair is still alot of peoples favourite keeper between him and Eyre, I personally prefer him but he has fallen out of favour recently. Saying that he player Saturday so go figure.

And then you say we lost fans...contradiction?? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

[Taking the Mick]

Hey now your just picking on words, you have kept alot more fans than I ever thought you would and if you see the teams around in your league you will see your fan base is far better.

 

Yeah you lost fans like I said thats football but what I am saying is you have done well especially after the last year.

[Trigger]

 

Why keep going on about last year...... thats history.

 

The fan base is terrific and has stayed LOYAL...would that happen at other clubs if they went through what we did ?

 

Give it a couple of years and lets see where we are then.

[Taking the Mick]

Yeah I am not having a pop if you read what I have said I actually say that I am impressed with how your support has stayed loyal for god sake.

 

Got so bad that you cant take praise now then??

[The Monk]

Lee M is a legend. He's got all the time in the world for fans.

[Taking the Mick]

Yeah top top guy one of the if not the nicest guy in football that I have met

[Trigger]

 

The trouble is lots of so called non league football fans like to dig up the past and try and be clever. We dont need that.

 

We will be back BETTER AND STRONGER.

 

I'm not having a go at you as, as and individual, but at some of the a..holes that come on our web site with stupid comments.
