The 2009–10 season was Grays Athletic F.C.'s fifth year in the Conference National and covers the period from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010. Grays finished bottom of the Conference National in 23rd place, after Chester City was expelled from the league and their record was expunged. Finishing 17 points behind the team above, including a two point deduction for fielding ineligible players Grays were relegated, but opted to resign from the Football Conference and reject the chance to join the Conference South, instead applying to join the Isthmian League.

The club had four different managers, Craig Edwards, Gary Phillips, Peter Shreeves (as a caretaker) and Julian Dicks, who served the longest from September onwards. Grays used a total of 67 players in the Conference National, FA Cup, FA Trophy and Essex Senior Cup. Richard Graham was the most used player, making 40 appearances in all competitions, while Jamie Slabber was top goalscorer with just five goals.

Grays were knocked out of both the FA Cup by Luton Town in the Fourth Qualifying Round and by Worcester City in the First Round of the FA Trophy. Having progressed through the Fourth Round of the Essex Senior Cup by beating Romford, Grays were knocked out by Chelmsford City in the Fifth Round.

Background

Grays Athletic finished in 19th place in the Conference National during the 2008–09 season, avoiding relegation and securing their place in the Conference for the following season. This was their fourth successive season in the Conference National, making the 2009–10 season their fifth in the league. Craig Edwards was appointed manager in May 2009, after the season had ended,[1] whilst caretaker manager, Gary Phillips was appointed as assistant manager.[1] Steve Browne was also appointed as a coach, quitting his role as a coach at Enfield Town to take up the post higher up the football pyramid.[1][2] The whole squad was disbanded, with the exception of Jamie Taylor,[3] due to a smaller budget than the previous season.[3][4]

Stuart Thurgood moved to League Two club Dagenham & Redbridge in May,[5] whilst Barry Cogan joined Crawley Town on 8 June.[6] Tooting & Mitcham players Paul Vines and Allan McLeod joined Grays on trial in late May,[7] although Vines opted to stay at Tooting in June, whilst McLeod's position was still unconfirmed.[8] Dave McSweeney was reported to have joined Grays Athletic after he left Billericay Town,[9] although this was unconfirmed by Grays. Manager Edwards, said that French defender Cedric Ngakam, who he had previously managed at Dulwich Hamlet was on trial and that two players from last season, Kenny Davis and Jamie Slabber "might stay".[3]

Following Micky Woodward stepping down as chairman of the club, John Moncur was appointed as his successor, with Andy Swallow appointed as vice chairman.[10] Peter Shreeves was brought in as director of football for senior and youth football.[10] However, Woodward stated his intention of staying on as chief executive officer.[10] Grays signed six players during the closed season; Jerson Dos Santos from Crystal Palace,[11] Michael Haswell from AFC Wimbledon,[12] Marcel McKie, Nick McKoy from Enfield Town, Allan McLeod from Tooting & Mitcham and Serge Makofo from Croydon Athletic.[13][14] Grays started their pre-season training on 22 June, although Edwards had a core of "17 to 22" players looking for an opportunity to play full-time Conference football, in once a week since the start of June.[3] Kingstonian's Dean Lodge joined Grays on a two-week trial on 23 June.[15] Club captain, Jamie Stuart departed Grays releasing a statement on 28 June, stating that he would be leaving the club after decling an offer of a new contract from Craig Edwards, which Edwards described as "miles apart" from Stuart's expectations.[16] On 30 June, Stuart signed for fellow Conference team Rushden & Diamonds, reuniting with former Grays manager Justin Edinburgh.[17][18]

May

Alex Osborn left the club and signed for Dagenham & Redbridge on 13 May,[170] but is likely to rejoin Grays on loan in the 2010–11 season.[171] Grays also announced the release of eight players following their relegation, these included Preston Edwards, Glyn Garner, Gavin Hoyte, Alex Rhodes, Wayne Gray, Jamie Guy, Richard Graham and Jordan Wilson.[172] The club faced uncertainty about what division they would be relegated to, having applied to the Isthmian League, it was rejected on the basis that the relevant paperwork had not been submitted and they had not informed the league where they will be playing.[173] The club potentially faced being demoted four leagues and placed into the Essex Senior League.[173] Basildon United secretary, Richard Mann opened the possibility of groundsharing at Gardniers Close stating "Although no talks have begun about Grays playing at Basildon United next season the club would certainly not object to such a groundshare".[174]

June

In June, it was announced that Grays had won their appeal with The FA and would be placed in the Isthmian League Premier Division and confirmed the club would be groundsharing with East Thurrock United at Rookery Hill in Corringham.[175] However, the Isthmian League later announced on 8 July that Grays were again refused entry to the Isthmian League stating; "Grays does not meet criteria for membership", due to being unable to approve the groundshare with East Thurrock United.[176] Following a meeting at Wembley Stadium on 15 July, it was announced that Grays would play in the Isthmian League Division One North.[177]
