FA CUP Draw, Dover AWAY

[SouthRushdenJFC]

Rubbish draw, both in terms of team and location.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but will Dover be the first team to have played both clubs in a competitive game?

Doubt I'll be able to make the Saturday game, as I'll more than likely be working. But if we manage to get a draw I'll be at the replay.

I think it's a fantastic draw, we have nothing to lose, it's a great away day, it will be great PR for the club

Why is there so much negative feeling? Ok the distance could of been kinder but as for the team nobody is going to be easier than others at this stage. They are a conference south side, but have yet been convincing in the league this season. At the end of the day if the team turns up with the correct attitude they score goals, as I said in the Cambridge topic.

There seemed to be very few that believed in the last round, Dover on paper will be favourites, but this game is there for the taking. Believe in it people!!

No, we played Cambridge City twice in season 1995-6.

I don't see a lot of negative feeling in this thread other than on the first page...
There's a lot of people looking forward to this game, and perhaps a couple who don't fancy it - hence why there are four pages of comments already.

RDFC played Cambridge City 6 times - although 2 of them were in League Cup games.

According to the Dover website - http://www.doverathletic.com/index.php?p=crabble - those travelling on the train need to decide whether to book to Dover Priory and get a bus, or to Kearsney - which is walkable to the Crabble. I think that article might have been written before HS1 was opened (which makes it so easy to get there just by switching to the Southeastern service at St Pancras). This bus map is useful too - http://www.stagecoachbus.com/uploads/do ... 1012mm.pdf

It's only a 30 min walk to the ground from the main stadium, that is manageable for most of us. I was more shocked at the £13 admission price. £13 for Skrill South seems abit steep, although looking around at other clubs in the league £12 is the norm.
