BRIEF
DIRECTIONS BY ROAD:
Take
the M25 to Junction 2. Follow the the A2 towards Central London. From
here after about 5miles look out for and simply follow the A221
signposted Bexley Heath and Sidcup. You will effectively be
turning right at this rather complicated junction. Exit the first
roundabout take second exit, and at the next turn right again passing
under the A2 bridge. At the next roundabout take the second exit
(Danson Road) when you pass the boating lake on your left. Follow
this road and at the traffic lights (T Junction) turn left into Park
View Road (A207) for the ground.
CAR
PARKING:
There
is no car park at the ground but street parking is fairly
unrestricted.
DIRECTIONS
BY TRAIN:
The
nearest station is Welling. Trains from London Victoria, London
Cannon Street and Charing Cross are half hourly and the journey time
is 35 minutes or so. From the station turn left and go to the end of
the road. Turn left onto Bellegrove Road, this becomes Welling High
Street and then Park View Road. The ground is on the right and should
take no more than a 15-20 minutes walk. Bus is an option - numbers
89, 486 and B16 run past the ground from the station.
SUPPORTERS

EATING
AND DRINKING LOCALLY:
The
Guy, Earl of Warwick is the nearest pub to the ground (just 100
yards) and the Nags Head and the Rose and Crown are further on and to
the right. All serve real ales and serve basic bar meals. They also
get the thumbs up from my spies. A little more further afield and the
best of all is the Robin Hood and Little John at 78 Lion Road DA6
8PF – well worth a visit and only a 15 minute walk to the ground.

SOCIAL
CLUB:
The
Wings Bar is situated behind the Graham Hobbins Stand and accessible
from outside the ground.
GROUND
DESCRIPTION:
Welling took over
the ground in 1977 when Bexley United became defunct. The rather
quaint current main stand has lasted well as it was originally put
together in 1950. At either end there is fairly shallow but sturdy
open terracing while opposite is a seating tier, The East Stand,
erected in 2002 (replacing the old terrace) which occupies half the
touchline, the other half taken up by a block which houses the clubs
facilities. The current capacity is 4,500. If segregation is in force
then we will be allocated seating in the East Stand and standing
space on the Danson Park Terrace
ADMISSION
PRICES:
Adults
£15 Students £10 Over 60's/Under 16's £9. Transfer to the
Seating area is an additional £2.00
PREVIOUS
MEETINGS AND MEMORIES:
The last visit to
Park View was in October 2013 in the Skrill Premiership a Keanu
Marsh-Brown goals earned a 1-1 draw.
A good night out was
had in March 1993 in the London Challenge Cup when a brace from Mark
Carter bought home the spoils 2-1. Christmas 1990 goals from Edwin
Stein, Harry Willis, Gary Bull and Tony Lynch helped the cold turkey
and bubble and squeak go down well enough.

| Oh Eddie Eddie.......... Stein |

| Don't Flinch, it's Tony Lynch |
The last day of the 1987/8
season saw a Bees 2-0 win (David Sansom and own goal) but that
afternoon Lincoln City also won to pip us the Conference title.
