Dagenham’s travel sickness

Dagenham and Redbridge are halfway through a marathon, 900-miles plus double trip as they bid to keep in touch with the League Two

On Tuesday they set off by coach at 10am for the night's 0-0 draw at Torquay, only finishing their 10 hours on the road return trip of 460 miles at 3am on Wednesday.

Then on Saturday they're off to leading contenders Bury, this time by 9am train from Euston, and they probably won't get back until 9pm.

But at least the Daggers can welcome back legendary manager John Still, who missed the Torquay trip for the delights of gall bladder surgery after suffering with kidney stones.

And they say it's a glamorous game.
