Dulwich being a hope and a skip from the Train Station is a huge bonus

Unlike Dover  

No food  for the away teams this season was despicable

Guess we will see what happens at 5.00 pm Saturday

Am I right in saying Dover are the only club not to provide food for the away team players and not allow any match broadcasting from an away club?

Just seen on the local Meridian news that because of postponements due to the poor state of their pitch Sandhurst Town (where Bracknell play) had to play 7 games in 10 days. They won 5 drew 1 lost 1 which meant they won the league.

Apparently Sandhurst are made up of players from the Bracknell Town Academy.

I for one will be glad to see the back of Dover for the way they treat fans & opposing teams.I wonder if they will allow the Weymouth radio team to commentate for such a huge game.Come on you Terras!

I wouldn’t be surprised if they lock out the away fans tomorrow as they’ll be a few hundred of them coming. For me I’d definitely prefer Weymouth to stay up than Dover.

Oh I just presumed they were on a pay as you win basis…

Should be the biggest stadium as it holds just under 10,000 but apart from a roof over one of the end terraces nothing else has been done since it opened nearly 30 years ago, it’s definitely needs updating internally.

I think away fans get the open terrace but with much smaller numbers next season they may well give away fans part of the side seated stand. Just hope the game and conditions aren’t a repeat of my last visit (lost 2-7!)…

Edon Pruti likely to be a non league player again  His Hartlepool team are 6 points down with 6 to play for and a  6 goal deficit on the team directly above.

Hartlepool had a good win 3-1 against Barrow but couldnt avoid relegation!

It looks like a full capacity crowd of 3,334 were at Dulwich for their last match of the season.

That is the fourth time this season they have had a full capacity for a league match, and they have averaged home attendances of nearly 2,500, by far the best in our league this season.

Capacity crowds are clearly no guarantee of success, but the atmosphere at our last four home matches where we have averaged 1,000+ has been great, what would it be like if we were filling Arbour Park to its capacity of 2,000?

The capacity as far as I'm aware was increased to 3,000.

Plenty of space to cram 3,000 in but viewing wise it just wouldn't be practical.

Our 4 stands hold just under 2,500 so add in all the flat standing areas I’d say our true capacity would be between 3,500-4,000. But I just wished when designing our 2 end terraces there was a little more foresight and realisation the terrace depths would be too shallow (surely these can be manufactured higher?). Hopefully any future terracing would be of the correct specifications.

Plenty of space depth wise around the sides to cram people in but how much of the game would spectators see if they were more than 3 deep?
