		<description><![CDATA[Half time saw the usual raft of substitutes and with the daylight fading neither team could really take a hold on the game. With the ground bathed in the last bit of sunshine (yes, in this great British Summer I have at last been able to use that world) I took stock of the surroundings.  Rookery Hill is an odd ground.  Behind one goal are two of the smallest piece of covered terracing I have ever seen. Stands that I would have made in five minutes in my Lego world (see my article for In Bed With Maradona on the subject). One side of the ground has a strange double decker portakabin situation going on, and the dressing rooms were in what could be described by my generation in a "Scout Hut".  But it is a welcome home to Grays, who would have been in a whole world of trouble if East Thurrock wouldn't have thrown open their doors to help them last season. <a href="http://theballisround.co.uk/2011/07/28/essex-united/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theballisround.co.uk&#038;blog=528034&#038;post=14625&#038;subd=stuartnoel&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Secondly, and more newsworthy is the fact that one name is glaringly missing - Grays Athletic.  Obviously relegated last season from the Blue Square Premier and homeless after their Recreation Ground was sold from under their feet, they had planned on entering the Ryman's league with a ground share at East Thurrock United.  But that does not seem to have satisfied the FA who have simply not included them anywhere.  Any changes now would require some drastic re-organisations so it must be assumed that they will be starting in Step 5 in the Essex Senior Leagues - quite a come down for a side who had so much non-league success only a handful of seasons ago <a href="http://theballisround.co.uk/2010/05/18/has-anyone-seen-grays/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theballisround.co.uk&#038;blog=528034&#038;post=6546&#038;subd=stuartnoel&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
