Concord Rangers F.C.

Concord Rangers F.C. is a football club based in Canvey Island in Essex, England. The club are currently members of the Conference South and play at Thames Road.

History
The club was formed in 1967 by club president Albert Lant. The club gained the land which houses the Thames Road stadium back in 1985. Concord Rangers won an Essex Intermediate League double in the season 1990–1991, this was when the real progress started.

Concord were denied promotion to the Isthmian League in 1998 after winning the Essex Senior League. Following this, several players, coaches, management team, and the chairman left. One who remained was Lee Patterson, who took over as first team manager.

The club won the Essex Senior League title once again in 2003–2004, but still remained at that level for the next season. This led to one player leaving, namely current Great Wakering Rovers stalwart Nikki Beale.

Under the current management team of ex-Great Wakering Rovers legend Danny Scopes, and former Brentwood Town and AFC Hornchurch player Danny Cowley, the club have had arguably their most successful season, in what is the 40th anniversary of the team.

They are the winners of the 2007–2008 Essex Senior Football League winning the title by goal difference on the last day of the season against Barkingside at the Oakside Stadium. They are also the winners of the 2007–2008 Gordon Brasted Trophy (formerly the Harry Fisher Memorial Trophy), defeating fellow Essex Senior Football League side Eton Manor 3–2 at Leslie Field, the home of Burnham Ramblers.

They were promoted to the Isthmian League Division One North for the 2008–09 season. The following year, 2009-10, they were promoted through the play-offs to the Isthmian League Premier Division.

Concord Rangers have reached the First Qualifying Round in the FA Cup six times, last in season 2008–09. They have since reached the Third Qualifying Round in 2010–11.

In 2012-13 they won the Isthmian League Premier Division play-offs, thus winning promotion to the Conference South.
