In the shadow of Heathrow and glow of Thorpe Park, a band of Arsenal loyalists have built something lasting — a grassroots club with old-school values, writes LAYTH YOUSIF
An Arsenal branded corner flag
IT’S a world away from the Holloway Road and Highbury, Hornsey Road and Ashburton Grove, but if you’re looking for a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere amid a convivial group of loyal Gooners then look no further than Dial Square.
Set in unprepossessing Chertsey, to be precise, with a twist of rollercoasters from nearby Thorpe Park visible from behind the Eden Gate End, and its low corrugated roof, Dial Square is a haven for friendship and bonhomie.
The club formed by Arsenal supporters, for supporters back in 2020, is a humble labour of love that is rapidly rising through the non-league ranks, fuelled by an inspiring set of volunteers and those who care about The Dial, as they call it.
