First Played: 1986-7
Win Rate: 56% (from 9 games)
Tilbury were relegated from Vauxhall Opel League Division One just one season before we’d suffer the very same fate. Maybe we should’ve taken their 1986-7 campaign as an uncomfortable premonition of our own doom? The Dockers had a couple of seasons out of the Isthmian set-up in the mid-2000s. But they’ve since returned.

If you manage to get around the clockwise M25 without too much incident or heartache, leave at Junction 30/31 and take the eastbound A13 towards Thurrock.
After 3.1 miles, leave the A13 by taking the exit for the A1089 towards the town and the Docks. As you head down the Docks Approach Road, leave after 2.3 miles for the A126.
Turn right to stay on the A126 and go through one roundabout, before taking the third exit at the next one. Continue down and Chadfields will be on the right.

There are just 40 spaces at the ground itself, which are in front and behind the clubhouse. If you opt to park on the street (which is likely), be considerate of the club’s neighbours.
