Apr. 30 | There can be few better moments than knowing that you are safe coming into the last game of the season as a football fan.  An away trip to a team at the top of the table takes on a different meaning and you can enjoy life a bit more.  The air smells...

Apr. 25 | All is fair in love, war and football.  Well, that is what we are led to believe.  If it wasn’t for the pantomine villians, football would be no fun.  But when they escape the punishment of the fans it is oh, so frustrating.  Brian Parish reports...

Mar. 12 | Fresh from the beaches of Catalunya, Brian Parish was ready for the Daggers final push to save their Football League status – well for a week at least before he went back out to Spain. After the glamour and excitement of our European trip a couple...

The great EU bailout

The great EU bailout

Feb. 27 | It warms our hearts when we hear about some of the trips people make to see football around Europe. This week our beloved Brian Parish and Dagenham Dan teamed up with long-suffering Wolves fan Neil Shenton and hopped across the Channel to fit in an astounding...

Who wants to win the cup anyway?

Feb. 23 | Saturday’s horrific home defeat to Cheltenham was a mortal blow for Dagenham & Redbridge as well as their fans.  However, like falling off a bike it is best to get straight back on it, and so our very own Brian Parish focused on the distraction...
