If we could segregate our ground any further then we would to offer you guys as many tickets as possible. We are however a small part time team punching way above our weight without the ability to accommodate upwards of 3000 away supporters.I did secure 4 home end tickets for a Gashead and his family and I know other Dover supporters have done the same to try and get as many of you to the game as possible! Its not that our club secretary (the only full time employee the club has even our manager is a PE teacher) is clueless or stupid as suggested above we just done have the means to accommodate you all but we are trying to help as much as we can

It had to be all ticket the away end holds what the away end holds... There would be uproar on here if rovers announced the blackthorn end was to given to away fans for similar reasons... There are ways to get tickets even in the dover end you just need to use your noggin a bit .... Doverwhite helped out a Gashead (cheers mick if that's u!) I'm sure there's others that will do the same ... This match is to wanted to be watched by Home & away fans... Be respectful and polite to dover fc its fans and emoloyes and u may just get the help needed to ensure you can watch the game at dover!

In my dealings with Dover FC they have been more than helpful since the day the fixtures were announced.

I wrote to the Dover secretary and he was not understanding at all I really believe some of these clubs really don't have a clue He put it down as a safety concern ! Surely they have a stand which holds 1500 so all the have to do is decide this in half as surely with their gets well under 1000 they must only have 500 max season ticket holders I have dealt with one of the Dover FC Directors regarding this game from the day the fixtures were published and can say he has been 100% helpful.
BRFC have no divine right to tickets at away grounds and I've found most away clubs have been more than helpful, apart from Alfreton, regarding the needs of away supporters. A team like Dover FC can only work within the guidelines set by the Police and local licensing authorities regarding capacities. Apparently the Police have reduced the away capacity granted to Crystal Palace supporters, no fault of Dover.
It was clear to me on 4th July 2014, when the fixtures were published, that this game could be a bit of a nightmare for Gasheads and therefore made plans with Dover as long ago as that.
The one thing this does prove is that we need to get out of this division THIS SEASON as the same will happen again next season if we fail to get promoted.

So are whole season, even future, could rely on beating a team of part timers next week managed by a PE Teacher! Yes indeed. All of our players have day jobs! We have a waiter on the right wing, a plumber at centreback and our striker sells tickets for P&O ferries! Think we have the conferences tallest average team hence the fact we play hoofball so much! We have an outside chance for the playoffs so expect a game ;-)

Hope your waiter can't serve too many crosses, your plumber can't fix too many defensive leaks and .... well there hasn't been too many strikes at P&O lately so we could be okay there.
