District Line closed from Friday 3rd to Monday 6th April between Upminster & Whitechapel - Bus Replacement

As we have only been allocated 600 tickets for this game I’m wondering how many of us will be/ have purchased home tickets, also not sure how they expect to segregate in this s4ithole of a stadium

They did it for the Play Off final against Aveley. It's grim. Miles away from the pitch in a corner with no roof. I think it's probably fair to say that Hornchurch is the worst ground in this league.

Would they be allowed in the NL with that ground?

I spoke to somebody high up at Hornchurch recently about this who said the owner believes they can go into the NL. It appears that you can be promoted and then given till March next year to carry out any improvements or changes required by the league.
I think it is an awful ground to watch football from so was surprised at what he told me.

Is everybody drinking pre-match in "The Windmill Pub" on Good Friday?

I would imagine that the windmill will be banged out before the match, only other options would be either the Firkin or Suttons arms in Hornchurch or the crumpled horn or Brewdog in Upminster, both a 15 minute walk away from the stadium venue

If you’re driving, please be aware although it is Good Friday, all single yellow and double yellow lines will be enforced, along with any blocking of people’s driveways. The only day Havering have a day off is Christmas Day.
