Non-League Away Support Thread 14/15

[djs]

I've no idea where/if we publish away followings unfortunately. One of the other Chester posters might know ShrewdBlue

I emailed Chester early on last season. Having heard nothing for about 3 weeks I then had a reply that my email had been passed on to whoever deals with tickets and the like. I've heard nothing since.
Pity, as Chester used to be quite good with this sort of thing.

Only sold 700 for dartford which is rather poor for us. Even for a 350 mile round trip. Long trips to gateshead. Halifax and grimsby soon can't see us taking more then 500 to any of those so our average will drop

 

[The Sheriff]

Should be a decent number (in relative terms) for us up at Lincoln tomorrow. A full coach going, 20 of us in my peer group on the 0903 out of KX and plenty up there making weekends of it. Can't wait, looks a proper stadium with a good away end, hundreds of ale pubs, should be an interesting game with their imperious home form taking on us who haven't lost in 367 or something league games now.

Score first you'll be fine and we'll start playing a bunch of headless chickens.
Yeah it holds around 10k.
Try the Golden eagle fairly near the ground if you like real ale.
Just noticed the weather has changed quite a bit for tomorrow, more of a chance of snow showers now, so I'd keep an eye on things.
If had been played today it would of been fine, typical init?

It would be pretty typical if this was to be postponed, been really looking forward to this for weeks. Have a weekend in Halifax booked in a fortnight's time and I guarantee that game won't survive :-(
Golden Eagle is already on the itinerary along with plenty of others nearer the centre.
We've just re-signed James Poole on loan again, ex-Hartlepool striker who looked very handy around Christmas time, which should relieve some of the pressure of a burnt out Stefan Payne. In spite of our current vein of form we have still only won 2 games against the rest of the top half so I'd take a point tomorrow and I think a draw will be the most likely result. We play 5 at the back so if you're one dimensional and play long ball you'll struggle to get very far. Sean Raggett is the weak link in the back five though so target him if needs be, we're far more susceptible to conceding in away games at the moment.

Are you Dover4life from the old forum?

 

[The Sheriff]

Yes. Entirely grateful about the birth of this place as it means I don't have to be lumbered with a username I created when 14 years old.

Not as one dimensional as we used to be we do try to switch wings quickly and play it down the sides.
We're very lacking in bodies but having seen Adams and Bencherif are supposed to be back gives me a bit more hope.
We are very Jekyll and Hyde, 6 wins in a row at home but one win in 12 away from bank.

 

[Luke Imp]

126 Dover.

 

[GodsGift]

Very good effort that what with today's weather.

 

[Cardsfan]

Estimate 30 Alfreton

 

[Cardsfan]

89 Gateshead at Southport

 

[Sparrow]

Estimate 30 Alfreton

Hopefully DarkSithLord enjoyed his Cup Final anyway.

 

[slaphead]

Estimate 30 Alfreton

Would agree, was it their coach broken down outside the ground?

 

[Sledge FGR]

59 Nuneaton at FGR

 

[Railway Blue]

220 Chester at Welling.

 

[Cardsfan]

220 Chester at Welling.

Is that your estimate?

 

[Railway Blue]

Is that your estimate?

It was put on Deva Chat from someone at the game.
I missed the game. First one in 4 years.

Indeed my mate said there were 4 coaches at the ground but not sure how many were Dover's coaches? Heard they came up on the train like some of their fans. At least they made some noise and added to the atmosphere, fair play.

 

[ComeOnIrene]

Don't think there has been a confirmed number of Gasheads at Dartford today, although the attendance was 1,832.

I would have said there was as many of us as there was home fans, although I doubt they would admit that even if it was true! 800 or so Gas will be the official figure I think.

 

[Bluandwite]

Is that your estimate?

I was there, it wasn't segregated today but probably wasn't far off 200 anyway.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Estimate 30 Alfreton

34 made the Journey on the coach. And there were around 10 more who came in cars so I would estimate 45.

 

[Cardsfan]

113 Torquay at Wrexham

 

[Greenacres]

58 Nuneaton at Forest Green.

I... don't think they particularly care. Dartford usually pull in around 1,000 anyway, with a handful more given you're a "big" name. They aren't Welling.

I hope not as there has been a couple of occasions where our away following has been under-reported this season. I found Dartford to be a proper club and their fans were more enthusiastic than a lot I have come cross.

Barnet fans, I remember last year that OAP's and Students had to pay in advance and tickets werent available on the gate. Is this still the case? Cheers

I believe you should be able to get them at the ticket office (normally a bit of a queue when I walk past) but not on the turnstiles.

If you know you are going you might as well just get them online before hand here though https://www.venuetoolbox.com/barnet...5-85FA-EA43642F4A15}&packageID=&homeArea=away

The system works well and you can even just scan the code using your smartphone, alternatively print the tickets out & scan them at the turnstiles.

Yeah, might as well buy them in advance just wondered if it was necessary. I'll give it a few days what with the weather, but cheers for letting me know.
