Victoria Road

Essex RM10 7XL
Victoria Road is certainly not the easiest ground for Bulls' fans to get to as it involves a trip around the delightful M25. However, the atmosphere is generally good and the view from the new stand (assuming we're not in the little College stand) is good.
Discounted tickets are on sale through HUFC offices up until 12 noon on Friday.
HUISA – departs from Radford's at 8.30am with a fare of £20 (£22 for non-members). Seats can still be booked through the office (08442 761939) or pay on the day.
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 – It's not a particularly good selection so The Daggers Club is probably as good as any near to the ground. Of the pubs in Dagenham, The Eastbrook is reasonable but you may be better looking further afield in, maybe, Romford.
Enjoy
