Ship Lane Purfleet/Thurrock
Posted: Tue Aug 22, 2023 5:58 pm
Ship Lane, home to Thurrock FC from their formation (as Purfleet) in 1985 until their dissolution in 2018. Amazingly, after 5 years, the nets are still hanging on the goalposts, though the pitch needs a bit of work before a ball can be kicked into them again. It is possible that Grays Athletic will soon be taking this ground on as their new home.
Anyone remember going here? I did a couple of times - highlights included us gatecrashing a wedding reception in the hotel (not sure how that happened), and going there on the first day of the season and winning 1-0 with a goal by Stewart Beevor.
