Anyone know what parking is like in or around the ground

They have parking for 220 cars.

If anyone needs a lift to Aveley, I have ONE spare seat. PM me if interested.

I've got 2 spare seats if anyone wants a lift PM me.

I know 8 of them were friendlies, but it's a little disconcerting to be going into match number 13 still without a victory. There's been a lot of talk about the league being so much tougher than last year but there's no evidence to back that up yet. In fact, of the 4 teams we've played in the league...

The hot weather was strength sapping and for the most part, it was a gruelling game to watch, with neither side threatening to score and precious little entertainment. The goal seemed to perk us up a bit and the last 15 mins were a little easier on the eye, especially after Lewis came on, but despit...

Twitter is a cess pit where everone and everything is constantly submitted to criticism and abuse. You have no idea who the abusers really are or what their motives are. It wouldn't matter if Dowse won us the European Champions League, he'd still get stick on Twitter, probably significantly more tha...

There's been a few idiots on Twitter but a couple of those have their own axe to grind and the rest you can never really be sure which club they really support anyway. If Dowse's criticisms are aimed specifically at the "fans forum" then it means some of us are the "idiots". Pers...

They can play in a bloody bin bag for all I care, as long as they win.

There are two ways of looking at Saturday's game, you could say that we were unlucky to lose because of an individual error and had we taken one or more of the excellent first half chances we might even have won. Or you could argue that it's a sorry state of affairs when you have to drop your newly ...

True but the same could be said about the views on this forum. Woe betide anyone have an opinion that differs to anyone on here! I don't think that's entirely true Dicky. What has actually happened to anyone who (genuinely) dares to offer a minority opinion? I am only aware of Rick having to kick t...

I thought that Wilks was an Excellent Keeper but Dowes wouldn't play him and he leaves. Any idea why Dowse wouldn't play him ? It's a strange one that I never quite understood. Everyone I know thought Wilkes was an excellent keeper but I'm told that some of his his now departed teammates thought he...

Let's start with the positives, Barzey and Coulson were phenomenal and it is exciting to have a real talented threat on both sides of the pitch. Coulson started slowly last season but came on strong in the latter half and today he was absolutely outstanding. Barzey was running rings round Bath all a...

DaveT (and any others that might be interested), it is my strong understanding that BAWArmy is NOT Reg and is most probably a “fan” from one of our local rival teams. Yes, that was a popular misconception, but Reg is easily distinguishable from BAWArmy because the latter usually delivers short, sha...

It's true we had a decent share of possession and in some respects, the game was closer than the score suggests, and I agree with Dowse that the result was predominantly a consequence of individual errors. However, I'm not sure this is in any way a good thing. Generally speaking, the frequency of in...

What these money men seem unable to grasp is that every division can only have one winner, and even then, the biggest spender doesn't always get the prize. The vast majority eventually realise they've wasted their money and walk away leaving many clubs on the brink. Having lost our club and rebuilt ...

I agree Jonty. Dowse's interviews are a bit demoralising as to hear him talk you'd think we'd do well to finish halfway. He did some great things llast season, restoring harmony at the club, reconnecting with the academy and achieving the runner-up spot despite the late start. Tactically he was very...

At present we only have 1 experienced keeper in Mitchell with young Tom Wray as his back up. I’m not sure just how much competition Tom will be for Mitchell though to really push him as I don’t think he’s had that much 1st team football apart from may be a loan spell at a lower level. I don't think...

The youngster, George Whitefield, would appear to be our only centre back Rambo. He's an excellent prospect but you'd think he would be cover for 2 experienced guys, at least to start with. Ideally, he'd have a Bonzo type mentor to guide his progress.

Along with Bradders, Lee Noble and Haysie a great Dartford player of recent times, how will we replace him?. I can understand why Tom and Connor with young families of course want to spend more time with them and next seasons travelling in the National league south will be crazy with so many teams ...
