So is there just going to be 1 fans coach, think it will fill up rather quickly

1 at a time, coaches are not cheap and we need to fill them

I think this will fill up quickly and if supported by the club we could get 2 coaches filled up. Reckon we will have 200 plus down to Dover.

It will probably be too early to ask but is there any segregation or is it a stand where you want? Seen as its a bit of a upgrade to the grounds we have visited we should all try to congregate in one area to create an afc atmosphere to remember

I visited the Crabble a couple of times following the old club, as previously mentioned it's at the top of a very steep hill. I dont recall there being segragation, definately not from my most memorable visit there, when due to an accident on the M25 only a handfull of Diamonds fans were there to witness the entire first half. The few fans we had gathered behind the goal to watch the first half and were roundly taken the p*ss out of by the Dover fans when they took the lead, however it is a very fond memory when the four or five of us celebrated when we equalised, and gave some back to the home fans behind us in the stand. That was the end of our 8 game (?) winning streak at the start of that season, a nice ground with friendly p*ss taking fans. I'm really looking forward to our return.

There is usually no formal segregation for Conference North and South league fixtures although some clubs will impose segregation if they have an indication that a particular match could have 'issues'.

On our website it says 12th October (tbc). Anyone know if there is any chance it won't be on this date/time?

Dover's OWS has it listed as 3pm on the 12th in their fixture list. ;) I guess Formic is awaiting official confirmation after the respective secretary's have discussed.

Bad news for anyone who has already booked a train ticket if it's moved to Sunday to suit Sky Sports :lol:

I don't think there is much chance of Sky covering it, but sunday would suit me much more.

Looking at the positives. Dover have only won at home, once, and lost 3.
This could be our dream ticket....................... ;)
