BBC Radio Essex are reporting that Canvey Island will quit the Conference at the end of the season.
Just 621 people watched their Good Friday win over Kidderminster. It was their fourth worst gate of the season, but an improvement on recent figures which dipped to under 400.
With Jeff King likely to leave in the summer, with Chelmsford City admitting they have spoken to him, Canvey will be unable to survive a Conference season based on their meagre gates. King has pumped in up to a staggering £9,000 a week to help the side compete in the Conference.
King has indicated that he will not walk away entirely, offering to match any other investment pound-for-pound, but a move to Chelmsford would force King to cut all ties with Canvey unless they dropped down the divisions.
Canvey would have to submit their resignation by May 13th if they were to resign.
