Margate got relegated as their ground wasn't up to standard and they weren't allowed tp ground share.

Margate actually resigned before they were forced out.

there is restructuring this summer again,don't know what exactly,we have gone up already but haven't got a clue what league we will be in next year,it is thought we would go in the southern one east with the likes of afc sudbury,maldon,ilford,barking to name a few but nothing has been sorted yet,hope you get it sorted quick though

[cangull]

In the NLP Paper today it states that Moules is aware of our situation and that if we want to play in Conf South then the conference would help us to to that. He also said that we would not be penalised in any way.

dropping down a few leagues will give a whole new group of potential fans the chance to see the club rise as alot of us have and by the time we get back to the level we are at now we may have a much better fan base. also by not totally relying on one person there will be alot less chance of personality clashes that can keep fans away. also if we are not using Venom Sports we might be able to get a half decent kit

[Ribbit]

Haha. We're going to lose fans whatever happens, but starting from the bottom again could potentially give us more fans in the long run, but it's a huge risk. Who's to say that we can't play at Conference South level and sustain that for a few years (personally I think we'll be relegated in the first year) and gradually build our fanbase, while in that one league?

I like this season kit <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> and it was voted as one of the best in the league by other fans. How do you know we won`t be using Venom Sports, do you know who runs it?

[Ribbit]

King, probably!

[JAY]

i like your kit they made ours last season & prob the best in the con south last season

[ronin]

I believe Jeff King has some input but John Batch runs it.

the material is nasty, every single shirt seems to be slightly different (badges in different places, cut of the neck different, etc) plus it looks like a figure skating outfit. only the orange kit has been worse

[Ribbit]

The cut on my (yellow) shirt around the neck is abysmal. It's huge. Once next season kicks off, I'll only wear it when it's cold, over a jumper.

Yours had a massive neck on it though! Even a hippo would have found it chafing. I think Canvey's is a bit like that this season.

I think we should bring back Craig Davidson.

 

He is a good player and if he does come back he will proberly have a good future.

If we have to go down a few leagues, how about the Southern League East, looks like a good few interesting away days there, gotta be better than Essex Senior, only 16 teams in that this season, of which 3 are trying to go up, so whats left ? Its a crap league, anything other than Essex Senior please

Exactly if there's only 15 teams there then we've lost revenue for lesser games although I think there's more cup competitions at that level.

Talking to the HX boys they've played some teams like Tilbury over 5 or 6 times this season in the league and various cups so familiarity could breed contempt.

Good point Yellow, got the tube back to Upminster with a Hx fan who came to the game today and stood in our end to support us ( respect mate whatever your name and thanx for your best wishes for us ) Said ESL was grim and is glad to be out of it. As i say Southern League or Ryman 1 would suit if we can afford it, sure we can. By the way DagRed have only been getting 900 last few games !

[YELLOW]

Yeah I know who the guy is. Spoke to him today. Think I know who he is on the forums but don't want to say in case I'm wrong!!!

[JAY]

lads i also went to today but was in the home end as i was with me mate who was a dagger but was cheering you guys on & must say was impressed with some of your players like hallet,clarke & conroy,potter & played some good football & enjoyed it today & seeing the canvey barmy army signing thier hearts out

 

any way once again good luck for the future

hope our two teams meet soon
