How to Get to THE NEW LODGE
Travel to Junction 28 on the M25 and join the A12 East. From here, exit the A12 at Junction 12 towards Mountnessing. At the roundabout, take the first exit (turn left) before taking the first right.
Continue until you reach a mini-roundabout and turn left onto the road towards Billericay. Once you enter Billericay, turn right at the first set of traffic lights (near the Texaco Garage). Blunts Wall Road can be found on the right-hand side, where you’ll locate the ground.
Billericay note on their website that there is free parking at the BTFC Community Pitch Car Park, the next right after the main entrance. Supporters can also park for free in the hospital at the top of Blunts Wall Road.
It is worth noting that only card payments are accepted at the turnstiles and inside the ground.
The Opposition
Billericay have had a difficult start to the season, losing all five of their games in all competitions. They have only scored once in their first three league matches, conceding 24. The Blues’ two goals in all competitions have come through Erika Lempek and T’yana Nee-Chambers.
The 2024/25 season saw Billericay finish 11th in the FAWNL Southern Premier Division. Despite finishing in the relegation places alongside Milton Keynes Dons, they were handed a reprieve due to league allocation issues.
