This is the rear of the north terrace of the Brockwell Stadium, home of Canvey Island FC, who currently play in the Isthmian League Premier Division, sponsored by Rymans, at the 7th tier level of the English football league pyramid. Founded in 1926, they rose from being an Essex Senior League side in 1992 to the Football Conference in 2004. The 2001-2002 season saw them achieve their greatest successes in the FA Cup with 1-0 victories over Football League sides Wigan Athletic (away) and then Northampton Town (home) in the First and Second Rounds, before losing 4-1 at Burnley in the Third. Earlier, in the 1995-1996 season, Brighton & Hove Albion survived a tricky First Round FA Cup tie here, drawing 2-2, before beating Canvey Island 4-1 in the replay at the Goldstone Ground.
