The Hornchurch - arch rivals of the Oaks Romford Massive

Wonder how much that cup is worth for scrap??


Battle worn bus shelters - like the real thing.

A wise old Owl keeps a watchful eye on proceedings.

The Dockers are sponsored by McDonalds - Oakesy's favourite Chef!

 Tilbury's quirky old mainstand - you either love it or loath it.

 Home of the Dockers - to say Tilbury is rough is an understatement...but it felt like home in a strange sense. You can almost imagine Harry Redknapp selling "goldie looking" watches from inside this establishment.
 What a motely crew the Tilbury firm are - all ex Dockers. Apart from their biggest rivals Grays they really detest Romford - but apparently Romford will not travel across the "water" - what do all the Oaks say to that?
Are the spikes to keep people in or out ? They're big on H&S at Tilbury  
High rise living in Tilbury - Nice? 
 More of that stand
 Happy snapping
 Ah our fav - urban decay - this is actual part of the old ground's turnstiles.-
Could be a seen from Scrapheap Challenge
Bricks and Mortar - ready made armoury for the Tilbury Dockers when the Romford decide to show up!
 Cheese & Pickle sarnies and jellied eels are the standard fayre in here - washed down with nice cup of rosie.
 Even the grass is rough at Tilbury - that's whats left of it. 

Pushed or shoved ....probably stabbed
 LBD?
Tilbury Social - put's a whole new spin on the phrase "social club" 
More stabbings at Tilbury

Welcome to Sutton  - you'll find this smouldering pile of rubbish below.


High rise living is all the rage in Sutton - don't laugh I use to live on the top floor...before I jumped off one day.


Solid bus shelters in Sutton

Raining on the terraces again.

More of the bus shelters - sponsorship is catching on Mr P


Looks like a fire in the kitchens again

The best thing about Sutton is the exit!!!

You can never have enough bus shelters.
Ah a nice cup of Rosie
