Hopefully it did a few grand worth of ground improvements.

Insurance job?

Not my favourite ground. I remember when the away end was open and the terrace felt like it was 6ft too low.

It's a long way and sits on the Thames estuary would be the best way to describe it and if memory serves me right some West Ham fans were there causing trouble when we played them on a Friday night years ago

Not far from the pier. That caught fire too some years back.
