I don't want to sound like I dislike 'em but...
Comments like these are unlikely to endear them to other non league clubs:
'We are fighting for Grays Athletic to be put in the league it deserves to be which is the Ryman Premier '
You don't get to decide that Mr Grays official. You get to abide by the rules. You didn't have a groundshare agreement in place by the end of March, you don't 'deserve' to be in the league. Everyone else has to abide by these rules, why are you so very different?
'A new Club, under a new company name, would be forced to start around level 7 of the Pyramid. I for one, would find it unacceptable to move to such depths of the Pyramid after 120 years of playing at a good level of senior football. '
No, Mr Shareholder in Grays Athletic 1982 Ltd, you don't get to decide that because you have such long and illustrious history means you don't have to abide by financial realities. Your club overspent, you as a shareholder in the company had a responsibility to query the board on its spending, did you? If you and your fellow shareholders diodn't hold the board to account, then you get to deal with the reality of the Taxman wanting his money back, your team losing its hard won status and starting again. No one has a god given right to any position in the league structure.
Frankly, they deserve to be bankrupt and restarting wherever they are allowed in, not delaying everything by having a hissy fit because they were placed in the Essex Senior League. The sense of injustice you get from their forum because they aren't being allowed to do exactly what they want (because they failed to follow the very clear rules) is overwhelming.
