Considering that Dagenham & Redbridge were twice so close to gaining promotion to the Football League before making the step up, it was the case that the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Stadium was designed with that goal in mind.

The view from the uncovered away terrace behind the goal was not a bad one, even if the goal itself did tend to interfere a little. But it was nothing major. And it certainly isn't now, given the fact that Dagenham & Redbridge have invested in a plush new seated stand that meets Football League requirements.

All information correct at time of writing.
