🚨 CALL TO ARMS – HELP US TRANSFORM SHIP LANE!
Grays Athletic Football Club is calling on local tradespeople and businesses to get behind an exciting new chapter for our club and our community.

As we prepare to make Ship Lane Stadium the new home of Grays Athletic FC, we are looking for local tradesmen, contractors and businesses who would be willing to offer their time, skills, expertise, materials or services to help us refurbish and transform the stadium.

Whether you are a builder, electrician, plumber, decorator, landscaper, carpenter, roofer, cleaner, groundworker, supplier or work in another trade or business that could help — we want to hear from you!

🏟️ Our ambition is clear:
We want to make Ship Lane the premier community stadium in Thurrock and beyond — a home that the football club, our supporters and the wider community can be proud of.

This is more than simply refurbishing a football ground. It is about building something together — creating a fantastic facility for football, community activities and future generations.

🤝 CAN YOU HELP?
Are you a local tradesperson or business willing to offer your services, expertise, materials or support?
