Dagenham and Redbridge - Victoria Road Ground Guide


Stadium Info
Victoria Road (currently known as the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Stadium, for sponsorship purposes) has a capacity in excess of 6,000. The old terraced away end behind the goal was demolished in the summer of 2009 and replaced with an all seated stand to comply with government standards. The total amount of seats now account for 2,200 heads within the stadium. The North and Bury Rd End stands are both terraces and the Bury Rd End is open to the elements. The Main Stand is a small all seated stand approximately 8-10 rows deep.

Away Fans
Visiting supporters are situated in the newly built Marcus James stand. The facilites, leg room and view of the action are excellent from here and upto 1,200 away fans can be catered for. Refreshments include all the usual suspects and are of a very good standard for very reasonable prices.

Where To Drink
There is a social club situated at the stadium which welcomes away fans for a very small fee. There's a large hall inside with a big screen showing Sky Sports so you can watch the early kick offs before going in to watch the game. They offer a selection of food and drinks and it's a very friednly environment so it's well worth a visit.

Parking
Parking is available along most roads surrounding the stadium. The main roadleading to the stadium is restricted but all side roads are accessible. There is also a small amount of free parking available at the stadium itself. However, this needs to be booked in advance.

By Train

If visiting central London before going to the game be advised that the trip to the ground can take about 40 minutes. Once out of the tube station turn left, and the ground is approximately 5 minutes walk and is clearly sign posted.
