From the main site: "This is the first meeting between the two sides in over ten years. The last game being an FA Cup Replay, after the first match finished as a 1-1 draw, Dover Athletic won 5-0 at home in the Replay fixture. These are the only two games the clubs have played against each other." Really ??  |

Farnborough FC maybe, but Farnborough Town faced them several times.
They even purchased David Leaworthy from us for a then record fee of £50,000!!
I remember well one particular game when I bought a golden goal timed at 25 mins. Dover scored in 24 and 26 and we were two bloody down to rub it in!!!
Never liked the place since. Huge hike to the ground past the cricket and rugby grounds and, when you do get in you can't even see half the pitch nearside because of the horrible slope.
Good luck to the lads tomorrow and safe travel to all supporters.

I was there for the 5-0 hammering. We weren't great but the goalkeeping was comedy central, they couldn't believe their luck. Not the best of nights. |

Yes I was there too, but my recall isn't what it was  I just had it in my mind that we ran the coach there at least twice at around the same time. NURSE !! |

Erm, my memory is very faulty. Farnborough have played Dover quite a few times. Oops!
