Tuesday v Brentwood

[Eastside Urchin]

I believe we are playing Brentwood town fc in a friendly at Barking on Tuesday night

[Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch]

why Barking?

Cant we play it at ours?

[Eastside Urchin]

Does seem a bit silly to play it on a neutral ground tbh,would imagine a home game would of bought in extra revenue.Think someone is worried about the pitch being over used as I believe there are a couple of cup finals in the next couple of weeks being played on it although this time of year I wouldn't of thought it would do any harm,not a big fan of watching football at barking fc

[cup of tea]

Unless there's a good reason not to, then I would have thought it would be in Brentwood's best interest to host the game themselves for the same reason.

[Wivenhoe Urchin]

Agreed. Lets go to Brentwood!

[YELLOW]

Don't Mountnessing groundshare with Brentwood? They may have a friendly that night.

[Baron of Black Fen]

Didn't the bar at Barkling fall down or something ?

 

You will have to take a fue cans lads.

[Eastside Urchin]

i believe so

Bob - the reason the match is at Barking FC is because Brentwood are playing all their pre-season home games at Barking - (don't know why, but I would guess that they are re-seeding their own pitch). Re-the bar at Barking - it is derelict and has been derelict for three or four years.

 

The only place open is in the corner of the ground. It is a very small hut which doubles up as tea room and boardroom. The last time I was there you could only get teas and cold drinks, and confectionary.

true true but there is a really nice pub down the road think it is called the round house. i am going down there to see my old team mates so maybe see you down there if anyone is going

[Fat Tom Daley]

I will be going if the riots haven't destroyed the ground

[Fat Tom Daley]

don't people think the game should be switched to Hornchurch because things are looking dodgy in Barking

[Eastside Urchin]

Round house nice,are you serious david ???

Think i am going to swerve tomorrow,value my car a bit too much to go anywhere near barking

[David Drewett]

a pub is a pub at the end of the day.

 

looks like a crowed of 5 tonight then !

[Eastside Urchin]

I would of rather drank in the centre of Croydon last night than drink in the roundhouse.

[Eastside Urchin]

For me,with trouble in east ham,barking,ilford & Romford last night it would be a bit silly to play the game,especially at barking.

Although no police will be needed,if a player or two needed an ambulance then surely this would be using resources that may be needed elsewhere,especially around barking,although hopefully that wouldn't be as big a problem out our way
