Big J R Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Interesting Miss H. I'm told there has been a lot going on behind the scenes there of late. Maybe this is just to make a point to 'certain people' or the start of something completely new at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albury_Walker Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Does this mean they go out of existence or start again in the lower levels ?? Not too sure what the Essex senior league will look like next season with all the restructuring . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urchinman1961 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Do they finish the season ? Know they are our rivals but still dont like to see this happen to any team we've been there got the T shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burdy Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 League did state there will still be one team relegated from the premier league thus another space for a team to be promoted from one of the lower leagues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wivenhoe Urchin Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 It's a real shame to see the ground go, would be good if it were sold to another club and transformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obis Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 There’s a tremendous site with football pitches between Lakeside and Sainsbury’s. Does anyone know who owns this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 http://www.rightmove.co.uk/commercial-property-for-sale/property-63969490.html I had to see for myself and so it is! Sad times for the all concerned with Thurrock FC and for Non League Football in general. (delete the link if felt inappropriate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wivenhoe Urchin Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Would've thought it would be an ideal ground of their own for grays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimbles left foot Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Be a shame to see it ripped up. They have had some great nights over there, the Luton town game etc. Roll out 3g on the main pitch and add floodlights and 3g on the x2 training pitches and you'd have a great setup.

Dagger03 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Annie - Thanks for the link - it is very informative (and also very depressingl). Anthony - I think the asking price would deter Grays - I understand it is £4 million. Part of Annie's link reads - "There may be potential to increase building volume on the site subject to good design, landscaping, parking and the economic benefits of the end user. Accordingly the site is suitable for a variety of potential uses subject to the planning consent. A planning uidance (their spelling, not mine) note is available upon request." - So housing is a very distinct possibility. I notice that the advert does not mention that much of the land is on the Mardyke flood plain. Tenure "The property is available freehold with vacant possession." - So definitely no chance of Thurrock FC playing there in a lower league. Viewing "By prior appointment via ******* or Mike **** on 01702 *** ***." - Thurrock have two home matches left to play - one of them is on the penultimate Saturday of the season, and we do not have a match on that day. (We are playing on the friday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimbles left foot Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I've got a feeling we may well see one or two Thurrock players turn out for us pre season. Lewwis Spence is one who'd be handy I recon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cup of tea Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 It seems a bit morbid and I'd sooner see Thurrock stay in existence but it's clear that circumstances won't allow that to happen. If there are decent players that want to continue to play and would improve the playing staff at Hornchurch it would be foolish not to consider them if they also fancy playing for us as well. I'm sure that Colin and Jimmy are already on the case (as well as other clubs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Codger Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 There are a number of players who were at Thurrock who would be good assets in particular Lewwis Spence (already mentioned), Jordan Clark, Reece Morgan and Remi Sutton (terrific attacking full-back). George and Ronnie Winn are also pretty useful. However, as ever much will depend upon budgets and how much other clubs are prepared to offer so we shall see.
