Great publicity on News 24 a few minutes ago, club photographer and groundsman interviewed.
Looking through giant killings over the years the last big upset was 4 years ago when Stevenage who were enjoying their first ever season in the league toppled Newcastle who were managed by a chap called Alan Pardew.

Keep this up and Dover will have to think about going full-time.

The Hucksters are still in town with the tatty merchandise, disappearing every time the police appear, who don't seem to be bothered in the least. I thought clearly incorrectly that they were to enforce the law. How stupid of me!!!

I saw a PCSO in town earlier but I don't think they have the power to deal with unlicensed street traders.

There's at least 3 in town as i left 15 mins ago, one was a sgt, I suppose it would be too much to expect them to know the laws they're trying to uphold. A strange age we live in

3 pairs of blokes selling this afternoon spread around but there were few people about and didn't see anyone interested in making a purchase.

I hope not but could Dovers manger move to a bigger club who will pay him more?
With his record this season and last one other clubs must be thinking he is the man for them.

There is a Sunday bus service so Vic could get a lift along Lewisham Road.I hope Stage coach will transport some of the fans.
Like a lot of people I have been unwell with a virus.Ive tried to advise people of Parking arrangements etc.The away fans who travel by coach will be dropped off and the coaches parked in DDC car parks at Whitfield .
No arrangements were made to use River Rec.

A pair of that rare species, the Lesser Spotted Policeman has just walked past my front door.
Not that I follow football but I wish Dover good luck. At least it bolsters the coffers.

My grandson and wife left for the match at about 10.00 so they should miss the gathering crowds.
I have no interest in football either but am keeping my fingers crossed and promise not to watch on TV as that would scupper any chance they have of a win.

Lots of reaction that Dover supporters didn't do themselves any favours. Great shame.

Can't help but wonder what the result would have been if Neil Warnock was still in charge. teams always give a bit extra to an incoming manager.
