  I'd just like to say well done again to Dover Athletic FC for bringing pride to our town and region by winning the Ryman League Division One South title this season.
  
  It's the last game of the season tomorrow at Walton and Hersham and a lot of us Crabble regulars will be going up to south-west London to cheer on the lads for one final time in this magnificent season.
  
  DAFC is the last true bastion of real community spirit and collectivity in our town, where great numbers of all ages and backgrounds gather with pride and the zeal that exemplifies the real soul of what it is to be a Dovorian. And Crabble is our cathedral.
  
  You should have seen the celebrations at Crabble last week, and the booming renditions on the River End terrace of 'Dover Till I Die', 'White Cliffs of Dover' and all the other favourite ditties!
  
  As I said: well done, DAFC - you've made us all so proud.
  
  Regards all,
  
  Andy

  Yes hats off to Dover Athletic, they have been a real success story this season. Sounds like a great time was had by all last saturday at Crabble...would have liked to have heard the renditions of all the old favourite songs. Great stuff!

  Well said Andrew.
  
  Saturday and, even more, the Burgess Hill game where they clinched the title, were real days to remember.

  Yes A big well done to the lads up at Crabble. You have done Dover Proud.
  
  To the loyal fans to through the good and the bad that have stuck things out. WELL DONE
  
  On a bit of a down side. I e-mailed the club some weeks ago now about the possibility of providing Dover Carnival with a raffle prize for this Sundays selection of the new Miss Dover.
  
  To date they have never responded.

  Yes it is congratulations to the mighty "Whites".
  
  Dover Athletic have had a great season and after almost going under, it is now onwards and upwards.
  
  See you all at Walton & Hersham tomorrow to cheer the lads out for the final time this season.
