So who's going to Dagenham game then

Forums New posts
Now.
My office that i work out of is located within the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, and is not far away from the ground, now think yourself lucky that you don’t have to travel into this hole each and every sodding day. Myoffice address i always state as being Essex, as officially the postal addressis still Essex in the LB of B&G.

But the Essex border sign if you go down the A127 is located just past the M25 Southend bound.

My parents who still live in Romford refer to themselves as being Essex people although they live in a London Borough.

Most of my family come from and also still live in Dagenham.
People who live in Dagenham are called DAGENHAMITES who live in the NARM (Vietnam)by people who don’t, but people who live in Dagenham refer to themselves as living in Der singham (abit of mrs Bucket), as it sounds more upper class than the plain old dagnam.

So to wind up dagenmites, just call them plain and simple dagnamshites, that usually gets a good response from some.

And the Essex border sign if you go down the A13 is just before Basildon. Therefore Thurrock is not even part of Essex according to Essex County Council.

From Wiki about Thurrock - With Greater London to the west and the river to the south, the county of Essex abuts the Borough to the north and east, and across the river lies Kent.

No, afraid not. You're not comparing apples with apples. Southend-on-Sea is in the County of Essex. Dagenham may be debatable, Southend is not.

OK Thurrock and Southend are Unitary Authorities with borough status in the English Ceremonial County of Essex. A ceremonial county is also known as a geographic county, to distinguish them from counties which have an administrative function.

So both Southend and Thurrock would no longer appear to be part of the Administrative County of Essex. Hence the welcome to Essex sign at Basildon.

Its simple .

Unless you have a London postcode ie E/S/N/W your not part of London.

My dad is in Elm park in the London borough of Havering but it's still Essex.

I was born in rush green which is Barking and Dagenham council but still consider myself an Essex boy rather than cockney.

It is simple - if you were born in a London Borough (Dagenham/Havering) you're a Londoner. Post codes have got f*all to do with it.

I dont know, i was born in Romford Hospital and lived in Romford till i was 23, spent most of my youth in Romford and later in my teens in Ilford, but have never really classed myself as a Londoner, i mean the east end dosent really start till you get to stratford.

Actually they have everything to do with it. If you postal address is RM or IG and you post says essex your essex.

London borough means naff all.

Untrue. When the population of London is accumulated it involves every person in every London Borough. Postcodes mean nothing. Dagenham is officially part of London and its residents counted by census as part of the X million people in London.
 
Oh ...and Boris Johnson is the Mayor of a city which includes the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham. The people vote in London based elections.
The only link to Essex officially...is outdated postcodes.
However, it is still an Essex derby...despite one club being in London.

It's really not a derby.
 
A mate has just tried to buy 2 standing tickets, only to be told there is just one left.

Another sell out.....

Why leave it til last minute. Trying to get them today was always going to be a struggle.

Home end it is then.

Yeah, but if you don't know you can go until the last minute, you takes yer chances. Not everyone works in a place where you know your movements in advance.
 
Well I was but seem to have lost my wallet. Other than the drama that comes with that, no ticket.

Friday the 13th. Thanks a bunch. :angry:
 
There be 4 of us in the home end, as my mate is busy getting ticket behind the home end goal (standing area) as I type.
 
Got a spare ticket for tomorrow's game. A single adult ticket in seating, happy to accept £20. PM me.

edit: Snapped up now, so no longer available.
