Thank f**k for that. Three hard earned points - just what we needed. Well done Stones. No updates on Twitter all afternoon. Is that because they didn’t issue enough media passes. Au contraire, there were updates all throughout the game

Awful weather and pitch really suffered. Dover had so few chances, yet we had many shots on goal but saved by a good keeper. First trip for me today, and know I know what people mean about the hill- the ground is set above/behind a ruby field of 2 pitches. cars are parked on a first come first served basis- on the edge of a roadway that circles the Rugby pitches. you park your car where told and exit the far side of the Rugby area and begin the climb up to the football ground, through a series of green corrugated clad alley-ways to the turnstiles. Away supporters have half of one end and a third of a side- similar to Bromley, but with seating on the side- a few quid for me and my son. Dover fans were very quiet. We were still in Coventry meed, full swing. the Squad made a fuss of us- I think they were pleased to see we have travelled the 40 odd miles in numbers. OVERALL ATTENDANCE REPORTED AS 1020- We must have been about 400, maybe more.

Never been to Dover, was thinking about going on Saturday. Is it that bad? Yep. Away support treated abysmally. Absolutely no issues yesterday. Good away day. Don’t really understand the disdain.

Still clueless on that penalty. One of the most bizarre decisions I’ve seen in a while.

Followed it on Flash Scores app. Ben was there, doing the tweets as usual, but there was a poor mobile signal- as disclosed by the chip n pin payments- the guy said 'no signal mate' for the touch payment, hence the pin was needed for the system they were using. For me, all the tweets appeared when I got home, but as I dont use a phone while driving, I didnt see at what point they arrived.

And a whopping great big telephone mast behind the floodlights at the opposite end of the ground. Strange that. I joined the cash queue as card queue was quite long.

I can only tell you what the kid behind the kiosk at the turnstiles said. I paid pin-code for our food, probably for same reason. As we all know- just because you hit your head on a phone-mast, it doesn't mean to say it broadcasting you service-providers coverage. All in all, our first visit to the Crabble was a good one, not just the 3 points, but the friendly chat we had with the Stewardess at the entrance, the lad in the kiosk apologising for the poor signal, the girls running the burger hut, the cleanliness of the toilets, the availability or somewhere to sit. The weather let the pitch down big time, as a months rain fell inside an hour- the hill is a climb, but were were warned. Maybe the rain was a contributing factor to broadband signal. I took a few snaps, but Im not a slave to the screen during a match.

Nice to hear some positives to reassure the Dover fans beating themselves up over the away facilities. A club in decline is always a negative place for fans.

I swore last time I’d never go again but sounds like I may have missed out on a better experience.
