Ground[edit] The club were originally based at what later became Pitsea Market, before moving to Gun Meadow. When the A13 was built, the Gun Meadow ground was subject to a compulsory purchase order, resulting in the club moving to its current home on Crown Avenue.[2] The site was purchased from the Basildon Development Corporation, as well as a prefabricated building that became the club's dressing rooms.[6] It was officially opened with a friendly match against Ex-Tottenham Hotspur All-Star team.[6] A seated stand was built on one side of the pitch, with the original bench seating later replaced with red tip-up seats.[6] A covered standing area was erected next to the seated stand.[6] The ground currently has a capacity of 2,661, of which 300 is seated.[1]
