Dover Athletic

[culmstockgull]

I noticed a report from the chairman of Dover Athletic who has resigned from the league board in order to speak out. He has stated that they have applied for monies from Sports England in order to survive which normally takes weeks to approve and if no monies are received in the next couple of days they will furlough all staff and cease football operations, they do not seem to be alone and I notice the manager of Southport in his after match report had a real pop saying they were refusing to travel to Brackley on Tuesday unless someone paid the bill. Although several national south games took place not one of the ten northern matches started.

Didn't Dover fly all their players to away matches? - obviously he wants to finish the season, he doesn't want his team to get relegated.

brucie, no wonder they are in the pooh if he fly's them everywhere, its a bit premier, mind you their journeys are longer than ours so probably makes sense. It may be cheaper and less travel for them to join the northern French league.

May come a bit unstuck in the French League - club would only be allowed five non-EU players, and only allowed to name three of the non-EU players in each match-day squad. Plus their pack lunch would be confiscated at Calais by the French Border Patrol.
