When Mark Arber put on facebook
"Captain a club for 4 years, got a mural on the clubs wall and yet still get questioned by a snotty arse steward (who knows exactly who I am) about parking in the main car park. ‪#‎headsgone‬"

He has walked out.

You know its another sad day for the club!
I hope the crowd is a reflection of the discontent today. :cry:

To say that is pretty darn piss poor from the club would be a slight understatement.

See Mark Arber is only a legend in his own lunchbreak,why would anyone outside the tiny world of Dagenham and Redbridge especially a security guard with probably other interests in his/her life have a clue who this relative nobody is.This is like some of the morons that come upto the nightclub door,push to the front and get all arsey saying "Don't you know who I am ?" .The answer is usually no ****** off get to the back of the queue like everyone else.What is he ...Royalty ??? No an ex z-list footballer for D&R.And there was me thinking he'd grown up.

His name wasn't on car park list. If there is room which there was then he gets in .
He is our legend and deserves perks like this tbh
Nothing to do with z list footballers or anything. Pretty disgusting if you ask me

In clubs defense tho any phone call he gets booked in I'd hope
but we finished 9th!

My point is the same really mickey.To a non Dagenham supporting security guard hes just another nobody not on the list.Maybe he should have rang ahead first.Still think hes a bit of a knob making an issue on the net about it.Sort of reeks of self importance to me.Why a fit old ex footballer cant park out in Pondfield Road like the rest of us on a day when nobody turned up I don't know either.Im more famous than him and I queue with the rest of ya LOL!!

Just another example of beating the Club over the head Arnu ,from people who if we were top of the League
Would share the sentiment of your opinion if they would perhaps had not put it so bluntly.

THIS weekend Notts County, Wimbledon, Bristol Rovers , Crewe and Barnsley have all gone out of the Cup in the first round to non league opposition, we suffered that fate last year.

No doubt supporters of these teams will be upset and disappointed, one thing I know for certain this time next year they will still not be harking on about it.

Those clubs won't be harking back as something positive will.have happened in the intervening 12 months.

This is just another example of the club forgetting what it is really about.

You know what Arnu I actually agree with you a bit here.

I like Arbs and he was a great player/captain during his time here. He's certainly earned his chance to visit us and pay nothing/little whenever he likes really as he is a big part of us being a Football League club.

HOWEVER, Arbs has a massive ego and I imagine being told he couldn't park in the main car park hurt this to an extent. The steward may well have been able to explain that the car park was being reserved for others in a better way, but regardless, I don't see why he then had to drive off to West Ham. He could well have parked behind the ground on Pondfield Road like us other mere mortals if he wanted to visit.

I feel this is just another thing for every person who currently has an issue with the club to beat them with.

To be fair to Arbs, he posted later on, once he'd probably calmed down a little:
"One man's actions won't take away a million memories. I was embarrassed to be honest, simple as that. I just don't get some people"

He realises it was just one person maybe being a bit of an idiot or not explaining himself in the right way.

There's nothing to see here and one steward is really not a reflection of us as a club. Nothing to see here. Moving on.....

Absolutely spot on Lee (I hate it when I agree with you, but there you go).

Arbs has a huge ego fact. He knows the Club is in bit of mess and should have known better than stirring things up with this post, fact.

And maybe, just maybe, he was not intending to visit our game at all, and just wanted a free parking space and a quick tube journey into Upton Park?!?!? Not fact, but probably quite likely.

As you say, nothing really to see here, but the normal faces who want to criticise everything the Club does at the moment will have a field day

The club did nothing wrong.The steward did nothing wrong,just didn't recognise a player who hasn't played for us for 4 years is it ? I forgot what he looks like too.I don't know the exact details but id lay good money Arber behaved like Charlie bigspud "I'll have your job off ya" "Oooh I was the captain and i got a mural" yadda yadda and all that bollox.

Mark Arber did the wrong thing.Anyway id better shut up in case he threatens me again.:lol:

Remember that episode Arnu, you said at the time that you would be around a lot longer then him and do it has proved.

I was remembering your words when a player and his mates took umbrige when I made a comment on a pre season match feed earlier this season.

They come , they go , some may return a couple of times a season but We are here week in week out.

One day they will put your roof on the Bury Rosd End and I doubt you will kick up a stink when you can't park to stand under it.
