From the Chairman
September 26, 2007

grays_ath.jpg I have been informed that following Saturdays game against York City certain supporters felt the need to criticise the way I run the club to the Boardroom Manager, it was suggested that I had no right to sell the club as I only had a 1% share in the club, I would like to state that the ground is owned by the Billings and they have agreed to sell to Fairview and Galliard Homes, from the proceeds of this sale they have kindly donated a substantial amount towards the new stadium.

We are looking in the first instance to move to Blackshots but if this falls through with the council we will be looking at the Aveley Sports and Social Club, if people wish to stay at the Recreation Ground then please let me know as this would mean that we play at a lower level of football and I would not wish to stay with the club at that point.

If people are of the idea that I am not fit to run the club then I am prepared to walk away and take my whole investment with me, Grays Athletic is a passion of mine and to be criticised in this way after all that I have done is both disgusting and hurtful.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who let me know of the indiscretions of a few of our players during the game.
