Why have Canvey been relegated to the ryman?


We didn't get relegated.
Our backer Jeff King pulled out and went to Chelmsford. We were unable to substain the wage bill in the Conference so we asked to pull out and go in at a lower level, thus the Ryman North Div 1.
Our previous seasons reserve team are now effectively our first team (with a few new signings).
Our original team followed Jeff to Chelmsford as we were unable to pay the wage bill.
But all looking good - Jeff has now relinquished all ties with the club and signed it over to a new management team. The supporters have much more of a say in the running of the club and everyone seems happy. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bounce.gif" alt="" />

I thought I read something along those lines. I remember when Canvey where in the same div as Edgware, you done very well to reach the dizzy heights and the Fa Trophy runs you enjoyed.

 

So has the former backer taken his money and put it into Chelmsford? I know they have a new ground and prob a fair catchment area to draw upon.

 

Do you think Canvey will be in contention this season? There seems to be a good number of strong teams in the ryman north 1 this season. I may pop along and see Wingate a few times this season as they are not too far from me.

'They' state Jeff King is not putting any money into Chelmo but they are a Ryman Prem club with a Conference team (beleive its 10 of our old players) so work that one out.

As for our new team well they have 110% dedication and so do all the management - what more can we ask?

Quite a young side but with a few old timers. Reckon we should do pretty well this season but no one really knows, as I said before a new team.

We the fans will be behind them 100% and we will follow them through thick & thin.

We have done it before and we will do it again!!

Hi Paula, where have you been hiding today, have you been sunbathing. Did Chelmsford take a lot of your players and do you feel gutted about what has happened at Park Lane, I suppose you did the right thing rather than staying in the Conference or going into the Ryman Premier and struggling, at least you'll stand a good chance of getting promotion. Do you live on Canvey Island yourself, describe yourself, colour hair, eyes, height, vital statistics etc.

Sorry Rhodes as said on another thread working <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Think we were all angry at first (mainly because of the timing). We were given about 3-4 weeks to come up with a rescue package but there are some really dedicated supporters and staff at Canvey and they fought hard and won!! (Well done lads). We have done a lot of fundraising, have new sponsers etc and Jeff King sold the club (without debts) for a nominal fee (thanks Jeff).

We have now put the past behind us and are looking forward to new beginnings <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

 

As for me I no longer live on Canvey - now in Benfleet (about 7 mile away) so still get to all home games and most away games.

 

As for the rest well I'll keep ya guessing...... but I have an excellent sense of humour and jsut love a laugh (amongst other things) <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Sounds like I might have my foot in the door if you've been reading my profile, I'll keep you guessing about age but I work in Whitehall for the Ministry of Defence. I know Benfleet, it's where you get off the train to take the bus to Canvey but I don't suppose you work there as there doesn't seem to be a town, you sound really fun, a bit of a ladette who drinks pints like that Denise van what's her name from Basildon. What about those vital statistics then.

I'm not a Spurs fan, I support Haringey Borough, we are just a stones throw from our illustrious neighbours and actually play in White Hart Lane whereas they don't. Anyway you jealous of me and Paula by any chance?
