Richard J Green Quick Overview:
Approx distance from the Artic Stadium 83 miles
Promotion to the National League South via the play offs in 2016/17 was followed by immediate relegation for 'The Rocks', who despite spending much of the 2018/19 season in play-off contention, have maintained a mid-table presence in the Premier Division since - finishing last season in 10th position. Interestingly, the ground's first set of floodlights were brought from Wembley Stadium and fitted onto telegraph poles before the current floodlight pylons were added in the seventies.
This Season
The Rocks currently sit in 20th position on 8 points from their opening 10 games, winning two, both at home against Wingate & Finchley 2-1 and Cray Wanderers 3-1. Last Saturday they suffered a narrow defeat 2-1 at home to Canvey Island. Top goalscorer is Tommy Lee-Higgs on nine, six of which have been in the league.
