Yep they have already been released for the season

 

Ebbsfleet United v Dover Athletic

Chatham Town v Folkestone Invicta

Cray Wanderers v Ramsgate

Whitstable Town v Tonbridge Angels

Thamesmead Town v Ashford Town

Welling United v Sittingbourne

Maidstone United v Margate

Bromley v Dartford

 

(Matches to be played by 30th November 2008)

 

So we got a nice home draw against Dover Athletic then. May go to this one.

Shouldn't we get a bye as winners?

Shouldn't Gillingham be in it by now....

 

Oh, they keep losing to non-league clubs don't they....

Nah as the only reason why the winners got a bye in recent years was that there was an odd amount of teams. But now Thamesmead got promoted from the Kent League we have 16 so no bye for us.

My project manager at work is a big Dover fan, so some words will certainly be said.

About time Millwall, Charlton and Gillingham got back into it. I assume they are still affiliated with Kent. Why is it they all reject any involvement? Do they pay a token fine for not participating? I hear some counties accept this. Why not make it more interesting for clubs to be involved and have a national winners play off in July with the regional winners going on to a finals day/weekend?

Think Gillingham and Charlton actually pay the Kent FA not to be involved in the Kent Senior Cup. It is a shame though, would love to play and beat the Gills

[PatMan]

They would only ever send a reserve side anyway, so its no great loss to be honest
