Some familiar faces to Blues fans will be former striker Emiel Aiken, who played a total of 19 times last season for Grays, scoring once. Joe Nightingill has regained full fitness and in Tilbury's squad, having made a handful of appearances this season.

Crowther played in Grays' last season in the Conference, 2009/10, where he made nine league appearances.

Last season, both teams shared the bragging rights with one win apiece in the league. The first league clash was on 30 August 2010, with Grays running out 3-1 winners at Rookery Hill, courtesy of a 30-yard long-range effort from Danny Bunce and a Jared Small brace. In the return leg at Chadfields on 3 January, the Dockers won 3-2. Simon Thomas scored both of the Blues' goals.

Ian Gayle has returned to Dagenham & Redbridge after his loan spell at the club ended.
