After finding out about the news that Grays Athletic have been kicked out of the FA Cup, the non league community were left shocked with many slamming the FA for their decision…
@FA what a disgrace.. expelling a team of an fa cup run and making rules up as they go ahead… and then demanding the 10k they won to keep the team afloat to repay the money… my heart goes out to @joyno1paul and @Coops_68 and everyone else at @GraysAthleticFC … x

Standard disgraceful behaviour from the authorities.A player had a £6 fine from 2 years previous for a club he played 1 game for, and had played for 3 clubs in the interim 2 years before he joined us. But we were stripped of a cup because of it #OutOfTouch

What happens about last seasons clubs? Did their points etc impact on promotion or relegation?
Decisions should be based on each individual case & circumstances. This is wrong. @FA— Graham Wettone (@grahamwettone) September 20, 2019
Quietly packing away my tinfoil cardboard cut out 🙁
Gutted @fa cup over again for another season— Grays Ath Memes (@GraysAth1890) September 20, 2019
Gutted, but this is Grays AFC, we are made of tough stuff and have taken bigger knocks than this, FA u need to look at the shambles within ur own house before throwing stones. U can't stop this club, many have tried and we still have a heart beat going strong. https://t.co/ghjjVM8QfM

@FACupFactfile: Devastating news for @GraysAthleticFC to be removed from #FACup in such a way. Not sure what @FA will do. Last season when an ineligible player was discovered two rounds on, it was the team faced in the following round who were re-instated which this year would mean @MarchTownFC
@Sambridge29: @FA what happens to the club that stayed up on the last day of last season by PPG that he represented. How are they going to be punished?
@robdseaman81: @FA totally and utterly lost faith in the FA after expelling my local non league club @GraysAthleticFC from the FA Cup – you have put us on the brink, £10,000 prize money that the club needs to survive totally disproportionate punishment – im done with you DISGUSTING
@Stearny147: @FA disgusting decision @GraysAthleticFC
@rhosoftherovers: Great communication from the club ?
