Trip to Dover on Saturday . Looking at current form, a win for us should be possible. Would not expect many team changes, might see Nunn play some part.

View from Dover.

The dodgy weather over the last few days may have this game in doubt.

The replies to the Dover tweets and comments on their forum make it seem like their fans would be surprised if there isn’t some doubt. Due to the forecast over the next few hours in Dover I’m not going to risk a potentially wasted journey.

On the 12.04 out of St Pancreas. Fully expect to spend a few hours wandering around Dover rather than watching a game.

Dover do have previous for not getting early pitch inspections in.

I just called Dover and was told "no pitch inspection planned, we've had a lengthy conversation with the referee this morning and there's no standing water on the pitch at all. We were able to roll a ball right across the pitch."

Obviously it'll depend on the ref's view when they arrive, but that sounds pretty comprehensive to me.

Well they've just tweeted that they did a "thorough pitch inspection" at 1.00 and are doing another one in half hour, so presumably about now. We're sat in a pub about 4 miles away...

Just got in the ground...it is absolutely slinging it down here. I'll be stunned if we get the full 90 mins.

0-0 ht. Bit of a poor game really, conditions aren't really helping either side. We've missed a couple of decent chances but they hit the bar.
