I went yesterday - fantastic day out - Dover filled the away end at Priestfield and a really good atmosphere. Thought it might all be a bit bingo-bus but the away fans really got into it. Good game and Dover comfortably better than the Gills who have real problems at the moment. Loving the Saints - East Kent connections; I wore a Saints shirt yesterday and there were three seperate Saints fans who all came up to talk in the Livingstone Circus/Pub away area, then in the ground I spoke to two more peeps wearing Saints top/badges etc.

It is a match made in heaven isnt it, I'm a product of a hampshire boy and a maid of kent so i supose i could be referred to as a having perfect breeding.

 

I would have gone too ahd saints not been at home, and again in the next round so best I could hope for is a saturday sunday split and take in two games in two days, would be a first for me.

As a Man of Kent born in Ashford, who had been nurtured into the ways of football watching Margate at Hartsdown Park, I can confess to being less then impressed at Dover's victory.

 

Wonderful advert for Kent football either way! There is surely space for more then one football league club in that county.

3 perhaps; Gills, Stones and Whites, all in the lower tier though I fear.

 

Didn;t realise that you were actually from Ashford Col, they've had some decent spells at non league over the past, why not follow them? In fact if you google my real name you will find a rellie who played many times for Ashford, Dover, Folkestone, Gillingham AND Margate scored a few goals too, it's in our blood being good in the box.

Dad worked with Margate's club secretary, it went from there. I still maintain there is the potential there for a league club in Thanet. :p

 

As for Ashford Town, sorry, Homelands is just too dead as far as atmosphere goes. It all went downhill for them when they left Essella Park. Such a shame they have had to withdraw from the Isthmian League. Well, Kent league here they come.

Was at the Homelands watching Maidstone going down 4-2 to Cray last night :( the place is pretty bland and uninspired, but would be OK if only it wasn't in the middle of nowhere. Better than Sittingbourne, but!
