    ... and one other Guy

    "Leytonstone F.C. was an English football club based in Leytonstone, Greater London. Founded in 1886, the club ceased to exist in 1979 when it merged with Ilford to form Leytonstone-Ilford, which later became Redbridge Forest after also absorbing Walthamstow Avenue. Redbridge Forest in turn merged with Dagenham to form the modern Dagenham & Redbridge."

    Ron might know this more than me did Walthamstow play at the greyhound track, I could be wrong that the Walthamstow track was the first to go in London.

    Don't know phil; I don't recall going to any away matches unless they were cup matches.

    Edit
    Yes I do. I went to see us play Oxford City away one Tuesday evening. We were 2-0 down with 10 mins to go. We either drew or won 3-2, I think the latter
