Grays

In May 2005, the Club completed a remarkable double of league and FA Trophy success in a season of firsts. Grays clinched promotion to the Football Conference, becoming the first club to win the newly-inaugurated Conference South league, wrapping up the title by the end of March, scoring 118 goals in the process. Grays were the first Club outside of the Football Conference to achieve this league and FA Trophy double.

Off the field a series of developments transformed the 'New' Rec. A new 1,000 seater stand, away end, covered terracing and toilet facilities brought Grays' spiritual home up to Conference standard with plans to upgrade further for qualification into the Football League.
