Grays missing from top league listings as FA confirm Step 5 placement

THE FA have confirmed that Grays Athletic will play in the Essex Senior League next season.



The future of Grays and where they will play remains uncertain after the FA Leagues committee announced its provisional league structures for next season.



The Blues had hoped to be included in the Ryman League structure, preferably in the Premier Division, but they were not included in that list and the FA have now confirmed with the Enquirer that they have placed Grays in the Essex Senior League.



"I can confirm that Grays have been placed in Step Five and that means they will be placed in the Essex Senior League," said an FA spokesman.



That is likley to mean that Grays will aim for a groundshare with Tilbury, itself a club wracked in off-field turmoil at the moment, rather than the expected move to East Thurrock, which was their likley destination if they had achieved the higher placement as Rocks' Rookery Hill ground does have Ryman Premier ground-grading.



The FA have stressed that there are a number of outstanding issues still to be resolved and the listings may be subject to subsequent change.



Two teams celebrating a repieve are Harlow and Leyton, who remain in the Ryman North despite finishing in the relegation positions.



They are there because VCD Athletic have been demoted back to step five after failing to complete their ground improvements on time, while Stansted, who won the Essex Senior League, done have a ground of the required standard.



It had been thought that Witham Town, who finished second, would return to the Ryman North, but they appear to have missed out in the reshuffle.



A spokesperson for Essex FA was not able to confirm exactly why Witham had not gone up, nor to confirm that Grays Athletic will be joinging the league. "We haven't been informed by the FA of that yet," he said.



The constitution of the three Ryman Divisions for next season is:

THE future of Grays Athletic remains uncertain after the FA Leagues committee announced its provisional league structures for next season.
The Blues had hoped to be included in the Ryman League structure, preferably in the Premier Division, but they are not included in that list, announced today.
They are also not in the Blue Square South meaning they are likely to be placed in the Essex Senior League, details of which have not yet been released.
If that happens, it appears likely that Grays will aim for a groundshare with Tilbury.
