We now have just 11 days left till 31 July 2016 to reach our initial £30,000 target and convince the FA and the Ryman League that our new Community Benefit Society is worthy of taking over the club's FA and League membership.

We have also heard that William Edwards School is actively pursuing plans for a new secondary school on land where we have long held the view that this should be the longterm home of Grays Athletic Football Club. See http://williamedwards.org.uk/freeschoolbid/ for details of their plans. Please take the time to complete the survey to register your views on their proposals.

With some way still to go to reach our target, we urge all our supporters to make the effort to join our Community Football Club and spread the word that the club needs to raise as much money as possible to give us a good start as a Supporter Owned Football Club.

WITHOUT YOUR HELP THE CLUB WILL CEASE TO EXIST.

But with your help we can grow and become stronger.
