The Club: League, Cups, Ground and Wider Club Billericay Town have most recently competed in the Isthmian League Premier Division, which sits at Step 3 of the English non-league pyramid, and their 2025–26 play-off final win secured promotion back to National League South. Their regular cup calendar includes the Emirates FA Cup and Isuzu FA Trophy, while recent campaigns have also included the Velocity Cup and the BBC Essex Senior Cup. The club’s home is New Lodge, also known as the AGP Arena, on Blunts Wall Road in Billericay. The ground opened in 1970, has a listed capacity of 5,000 with 2,000 seats, and underwent a major transformation in 2017 when new stands and covered terraces were added. New Lodge is part of the club’s appeal because it feels more substantial than many grounds at this level, with cover on all four sides, a sizeable clubhouse, bar facilities, catering, murals behind the Harry Parker Stand, and a record attendance of 4,582 for a friendly against West Ham United in August 2017. The club also reported a club-record average league attendance of 1,204 in 2024–25, which gives a sense of the scale of the current support around the team. Billericay is more than the men’s first team, with the club also featuring Billericay Town Women, including a Women’s 1st Team, and the official women’s section references Billericay Town Women and Girls activity. The women’s side has its own developing story, including a new era under Colin Reid, previous leadership from Greg Lake, sponsorship activity, and a Sister Club partnership with Mathare United Women. The wider pathway also includes youth football, with Billericay’s U18s appearing in FA Youth Cup coverage on the official site during the 2024–25 season. For a global Spectata member, that makes Billericay a club worth following beyond one Saturday result: there is a first-team promotion story, a growing women’s setup, youth activity, a lively home ground, and a recent record of turning big non-league moments into shared community occasions.
