Theres parking at the ground (their own car park) which i think holds around 300. Absolutely no idea how busy its going to be on saturday.

Theres residential streets in the area which will probably be alright to park in (i live about 5 miles away and our restrictions end at midday)

See the train station is only a mile from the ground. Dartford from Waterloo East. Nice and easy as I go to Waterloo for home games.

The train option is great, saves the M25 drive and parking too. Worth the mile walk to the ground for the convenience. Sorted.

Thanks

I've always wanted to go to Princes Park, it looks terrific.

3 games in 4 days seems a lot.

its a decent little ground. Only time i've been was the first friendly after the Wembley playoff defeat. Game finished ten mins before the end because of an almighty thunderstorm above.

Hope they put out a decent team, even for half the game.

I plan to travel from London Bridge , bus outside Dartford station drops me off outside the ground and all done on the Freedom pass sometimes its ok being an old b*stard

Fair comment. I will be pizzed if what will be an 9 hour round trip to watch Orient play a friendly turns out watching the kids. No offence to the youngsters but I want to see our new strike force in action.

Available in marked bays.

And where are you driving from to make a 9 hour trip? You can do Newcastle in 3 hours.

The old jokes still work.

Decided on train so factor in waiting, travelling, walking from the station and train times. Actual train travel is 5 hours. Game 90 minutes. Walking to and from station 40 minutes. 9 hours for a friendly and can’t wait.

If I went on holiday for a week, it wouldn't be a week round trip, would it?

Fair enough. But your maths is shocking.

We need a separate thread to log all these dohisms.

Hey Dohey (and anyone else going), might I recommend the Dartford Jug micropub for a large selection of ales.

My sources tell me that Central Park is very pleasant, so a route through it to the ground may prove a relief after the rest of Dartford.

Like a real ale. I’ll have time for a pint before the game. Nice one.

Excluded other stuff, posting my itinerary is clearly boring. As are most of my posts according to some.

Found it. Enroute between the station and the ground. Good stop off point
