Campaign for a Community Stadium for Grays Ath
Donation protected
Grays Athletic was founded in 1890 and has a proud footballing history. In 2010 their football ground was sold off and they have found themselves without a home for the last eight years.
Uncertainty grows, year after year, as devoted fans and volunteers try to secure a permanent home.
Their home stadium used to be a hub of the community. Even without a stadium, the club has continued to field a strong set of teams. With over 500 players registered on their books ranging from youth teams to girls teams, walking football to the senior side, it’s time they were given the opportunity to exist within the town they represent.
Therefore, this is a call to arms. To people within Thurrock and Grays itself, the time is right to push for a stadium that benefits all the region, giving pride back to Thurrock. To players and fans, this is your club and you deserve to have a permanent home, living without uncertainty. To local businesses and Thurrock Council, this area is progressing at a amazing pace, please support us in moving the town football.
And finally, to all within the wider football community who understand the power of football. Please help us in anyway you can, donate, post, tweet, retweet #BringGraysAthHome. Wear you own team shirt with pride- but hold up our hashtag, we really need your help. We would love to be able to host you one day in our new stadium.
Needless to say, a campaign of this nature needs funds to help promote and raise awareness. We are all volunteers and are happy to give up hour after hour, but promotion materials are needed: leaflets, posters, banners, stickers, adverts etc. Already, loyal fans have donated hundreds to get initial banners printed to begin to promote the campaign, but so much more is needed.
Please support in any way you can and hopefully we can:
