Re: FA Cup: Bracknell Town (A) 14 October 2023

I am an exile so I rarely get to see the team live for a full 90 minutes. Saturday was a welcome opportunity and I even persuaded my local to show the game. What a waste. Along with the crushing disappointment in failing to beat a team three divisions below us I was left with some questions. Why was...

Re: The Cost of Relegation

Travelling distances (and attendant costs) won’t be that different – a significant number of the current Conference South teams are actually located in the South West – long slow journeys down there my Old Lovers........

Re: Friendly: West Ham (H)

Yes, the Bury Road clubhouse used to be where the players changed. They used to come out onto the pitch from beside the left hand side of goal. In the seventies the clubhouse was briefly reopened for events. As part of the refurb they laid a new concrete floor – I know this because I helped my Dad l...

Re: Friendly: Romford (A)

Yes McLeansville, Romford are quite a way down the Pyramid these days. I remember when I first started going round to Victoria Road back in the 60’s when they were the local big boys – top of the Southern League and all that. Barking were also top dogs flying high in the Isthmian league and looking ...

God, we were good

Some kind person, (I do not know who but if they are on this forum, many thanks) has been posting clips on U-Tube from old (2008) Daggers games. What a joy it is to see Benson scoring at will and the Fox in the Box Stevens (whatever happened to him?) making other teams look ordinary.
Happy days.

Wrexham goals

As an exile I rely on the U Tube highlights each week for my D&R fix. Anyone know where the Wrexham coverage has gone? Lots of people on this site have been saying how well we played and it would be nice to have seen some of it.

Re: Momentum.

Hope we do win tomorrow however, we must not take York lightly. They are a club going places with good support and a new stadium. They also play attacking football (check them out on U Tube) and will be a handful. There is also every chance we will be playing them next term as they have just slipped...
