FIXTURE DELAY UPDATE

15.07.10

On Thursday 15^th July at 1317 BST the Isthmian League Official Website announced the settlement of the Grays Athletic problem, which has now been achieved is, in their view, only the prelude to a larger settlement in which all Non League Football may find peace. This morning the Ryman League had another talk with Grays Athletic and here is the paper, which bears their name upon it as well as ours. Some of you, perhaps, have already heard what it contains but I would just like to read it to you...

Grays admitted to Division One North

AT A meeting at Wembley Stadium today (Thursday July 15) the League has reached an agreement with Grays Athletic FC and East Thurrock United FC for Grays Athletic to play at East Thurrock's ground for the next 2 seasons.

Consequently the League has agreed to admit Grays Athletic to Division One North of the Ryman League for next season.

This agreement is subject to certain conditions one of which is the approval of the FA Leagues Committee, which meets tomorrow afternoon. Subject to that approval the fixtures for the Premier Division will be issued at 5pm tomorrow. The fixtures for the Step 4 divisions will be issued as soon as possible next week.
