[cite]Posted By: boogica[/cite]playing dagenham next year in a league game i find it unbelievable and f---ing embarrassing we need to address the situation at the club and quickly .
They've been promoted twice. It's a combination of us doing dreadfully and them doing fantastically. Playing Doncaster in the championship was kind of similar, we would still be in the same mess as we are now if Rotherham had won.
Its very close to the westham fans/ sorry Dagger fans and can really make a noise good away end, dont get slung out though as the holding pen is outside and everyone from the side can see you and abuse you
[cite]Posted By: bigstemarra[/cite]Does anyone know which teams merged to form them btw?
No idea ...... give up!
Seriously, something like: "The club can trace its origins back to four amateur clubs Ilford (formed in 1881), Leytonstone (1886), Walthamstow Avenue (1900) and Dagenham (1949). All had some success, particularly Leytonstone, who won the FA Amateur Cup three times and the Isthmian League title nine times.
In 1979, Ilford and Leytonstone merged to become Leytonstone/Ilford, and in 1988 they absorbed the struggling Walthamstow Avenue to become Redbridge Forest (although the name change was made only in the summer of 1989). Redbridge Forest achieved promotion to the Football Conference in 1991 before merging with Dagenham in 1992 to become Dagenham & Redbridge."
I currentley have the misfortune to live in Dag'nam "Thiefway". It's an awful area of London/Essex with absolutely nothing going for it.....apart from the Royal Bengal indian restaurant by Dag Heathway station. Worth a visit if you fancy a curry post (pre?) match!

Their new away end holds 1.5k!

John Still has built up a terrific reputation as a manager in non-league and lower League football.
Builds his teams around players with character and attitude; players that are devoted to the cause and will run through brick walls for him.
That kind of cameraderie among players and team spirit that Wimbledon were famous for back in their top flight days.

No chance of getting drenched like at Yeeovil.
