Following the 2005–06 season, the club reverted its original name. A new Iden club has been formed and Rye, magnanimously, did not object to the use of the Iden name. Newly appointed manager Mike Robbins was replaced by experienced County League Manager Dave Shearing who took over the helm mid-season. Despite finishing the Season in 19th position Rye were spared the drop by events outside of the Division and remained in the top flight for the 2007–08 season, where they repeated their 19th-place finish and this time were, rightfully, relegated to Division Two.
