A competition in association with



It's not every day that you get the chance to write yourself into local history but in association with Dartford Borough Council and the Dartford Messenger newspaper YOU could name the new road into Princes Park Stadium.

The new road will be used by thousands of visitors to Princes Park and will appear on roadmaps, A-Z's and of course it will be part of Dartford Football Club's new address!

The fortunate winner will be a special guest at the Stadium opening later in 2006 and will be invited to unveil the road sign bearing their suggested name.

In the event of the selected road name being suggested by more than one entrant, a winner will be drawn at random by the judges.



The road is a twin carriageway forming the main road for vehicles entering and leaving the Princes Park Stadium. It runs east off Darenth Road, one turning on from the Next Generation Sports Club. The roadway and wide grass banks climb dramatically up to the Princes Park complex - a stunning entrance to the Darts new home.


It may not look much now, but this is going to be the dramatic entrance to the Princes Park Stadium.
Will YOU go down in history by suggesting its name?

NOT be similar to any existing road in the Borough or nearby  which might cause confusion to emergency services.
NOT be especially hard to spell or pronounce

and ideally...

Should be memorable
Should reflect its location, sporting connection or  local heritage
