Dover still on the up
- 29 November 2014 18:31275062Dover still moving up with a win today away from home in fact a very long way from home.
I must say I did not think some weeks ago that Dover would get out of the bottom 3 .how wrong I was .All looking good now for the next round of the FA cup.
- 30 November 2014 21:32275097After a win away against a former league club on Saturday Dover Athletic now play host to another one, Torquay United ,on Tuesday.
- 2 December 2014 19:48275152Sorry to say it is far to cold for me to go tonight the cold hits my legs hard even with long johns on.but I hope there is a good turn out for them with the FA cup on Sunday to it is a big week for them lets hope they keep all the players without getting any send off or injured in tonights match.
- 2 December 2014 22:58275154A 2-2 draw against full time Torquay , not the best of performances but fought hard to snatch a late equaliser. Only 790 tonight for an attractive game against one of the bigger sides, very disappointing turn out.Audere est facere.
- 3 December 2014 05:46275155That is not bad Mr Martin some supporters will be saving to go away this weekend for the FA cup and as I said for us older ones it is the cold weather that keeps us away on a night match they need a heated stand for us older ones,
- 3 December 2014 15:12275161The weather is all part of it Vic and when your team is doing well you forget all about the cold, best stick to boring cricket mate.
I thought the second half last night saw us play at lot better and in the end we deserved the draw and could have even won if the ref has grown a pair and punished the continual holding of Stefan Payne when corners were being taken.
Enjoyable game. - 3 December 2014 16:14275162Thanks Harry,you wait mate till you get my age
anyway they always play better when I am not there. - 4 December 2014 16:52275216Harry wrote:

I'm prepared to put with the holding of Payne at corners because it gives the bigger centre backs more chance of scoring. - 7 December 2014 15:55275335Dover win one nil and are through to the 3rd round.
- 7 December 2014 16:02275337Well done to them and all the supporters that went to the match .
Now we could see them draw Stoke next round and for me that would be great . - 7 December 2014 16:26275338Never in doubt.

I would prefer it if we drew a big team. - 7 December 2014 17:31275348Stoke is a big team and club.Aske Arsenal they know after losing 3.2 to them on Saturday..

- 7 December 2014 17:42275354I would think that an away draw against a premiership side with a large average home attendance and high ticket prices would be ideal for Dover.
- 7 December 2014 17:45275355Yes Howard, that would be ideal, it would solve DAFC's financial constraints at a stroke. An away draw followed by a home win..........stop it and pour another beer.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson
- 7 December 2014 19:08275364Missed the game today (do not miss many) as I was in the red suit at the Mill and could not let the children down, but when I finished and got the result it made my day complete..
Sorry Vic but do not want Stoke, after all you would not know who to support from your arm chair. I hope we get a top club it would be great for the club, only thing is that if it is a home draw would we be able to host it at Crabble. Have to wait until tomorrow night at 7pm.
COYW - 8 December 2014 07:32275368I am taking my heated arm chair with me Harry Stoke is a top club Dover ground holds about 4500 so I am told so a drew at home would be great it would be a full house and at home Dover could even win.
- 8 December 2014 08:40275369Sky and BBC are at the Centre Spot tonight for the draw, doors open at 1730 hours.More publicity for the club.Audere est facere.
- 8 December 2014 14:16275384Against Stoke Vic, a Dover win no problem at all.
I will be at the ground tonight for the draw, come up Vic they have heating in the Centre Spot, I'll buy you a pint mate. - 8 December 2014 14:43275385Might just do that but just a bowl of chips mate I do not drink. Draw Stoke at home and Iwill have a word in their ear so we get a draw and then they can beat us up there.
