With the old Pondfield Road Terrace now replaced by the new Marcus James Stand, Bulls’ fans will be housed in part of the Barking College Family Stand with entrance through gate 9. Admission is £20 for adults and £14 for concessions (Over 65’s, U18’s and NUS cards). There is a £2 reduction for tickets bought in advance. Tickets are available through the HUFC offices until 10.00 am on the 30th April. The Official D & A website if offering seats in the same stand to home supporters for much less including £7 for Juniors and £2 for U7’s but there is no mention of these offers for visiting Hereford fans (Can they do that?)

HUISA – Coach departs The Street at 9.00 am with a fare fixed at £18 (members £17). Seats are understood to be still available and can be reserved through the Club office (08442 761939).

BY CAR - From Hereford, my advice is to go via Gloucester then straight on at the top of Birdlip towards Oxford using the A40. Then take the M40 (sign London) before joining the clockwise M25 (sign Watford). Continue on the M25 around north London towards the Dartford Tunnel. Leave the M25 at Junction 27 and take the M11 towards London. At the end of the M11 continue onto the A406 towards Docklands (A13) and London City Airport. At the intersection with the A13, turn onto this road towards Dagenham/Dartford Tunnel. As you near Dagenham, you will see a cinema complex on your left. At this point you leave the A13 and join the A1306 towards Dagenham. At the third set of traffic lights turn left at the McDonalds into Ballards Road. At the end of this road you will come to a large roundabout, (known as the Bull roundabout, after the public house of the same name) at which you turn left, into Rainham Road. Proceed up Rainham Road passing Dagenham East tube station on the left and Victoria Road is a quarter of a mile further on, on the same side of the road. There is a fair sized car park at the ground, which is free, but is normally full 45 minutes ahead of kick off. Otherwise street parking. Distance is just short of 175 miles and you should allow at least four hours. POSTCODE RM10 7XL.

ALEHOUSES – The social club at the ground generally allows entry to visitors for a small fee. Otherwise, there are three Pubs within walking distance of the ground with The Eastbrook being the closest. It can be found by walking down the hill towards Golds Gym. Next is The Railway which is down the road beside the station. A ten-minute walk away is the Bull, which is down Rainham Road (going past the Jet Garage), by a large roundabout.
