Some of you may remember going to Ship Lane, Aveley, the home of Purfleet FC. Banbury met them there in the FA Cup in Sept 1999 (drew away, lost at home), and went back in April 2001 to play the nomadic Dartford.
Purfleet became Thurrock in 2003 and spent eight seasons in Conference South. The club was effectively the creation of one man, Tommy South. He resigned due to ill-health and with no one willing to buy the club and the ground, he has wound up the operation.
