Thurrock Hotel

A curious ground. As you leave the Dartford tunnel heading into Essex you will see some floodlights on the left. This is the ground. The car park is indeed the hotel car park! The club has done well since being founded in 1985 and the current ground capacity is 4500.
Altogether a nice enclosed ground by metal fencing. Behind one goal is covered terracing with a small main stand alongside part of one side of the pitch. Some of the opposite goal end is also covered but there is just low level terrace uncovered along the other side of the pitch. The usual paraphernalia of pylons and things that decorate the M25 are clearly visible.
The club play in the Conference south in 2004-5 season.
