Dorchester away. There’s a unique pub called the Blue Raddle. Classic Benny! If I remember well (not a chance these days...), Dorchester had a new ground built back in the late 80s/early 90s, with a fancy brick façade - so fancy it was actually approved off by Prince Charles himself! The new stadium cost (IIR) in the order of £3m - 30+ years ago!!! |

Spookily enough, I’m at this precise moment, sitting in a waiting room no more than 200 metres from the Dorch ground, I pointed it out to the wife as we walked in, but think it fell on deaf ears |

Chatham, Horsham or Hashtag at home for me.
But no doubt it will be Truro or Torquay away...

Groan from a being-able-to-watch-it perspective and Hurrah its away as we still seem to be better away, although things are starting to click at home as well. Do they still have Elliott Romain? |

Horsham away will be tricky but if George takes it seriously we should prevail.

Well, despite our record in the FAT, I am toying with the idea of going to the game.
It's an easy(ish) drive, by the looks of it (an hour or so, if the M25 is behaving?), with free parking in the Park & Ride opposite.
Train not so good though. Expensive if you go via London, but only £18 return (with a card) if you go via Tonbridge and Redhill. Over 2 hours each way and three (!) changes, but not as much faff as it sounds. But, unfortunately, the ground is miles from the station/town! There is a fairly frequent bus from the station to the P&R, but, if you're not used to the superb convenience of British public transport, a three change train journey PLUS a frigging bus has probably put you off anyway...
Looks like a nice little ground though.

Apparently one of Dorking Wanderers favourite grounds.

Would like to have gone as it would have been a new ground but i have a works reunion to attend and like you say there's a bit of messing about involved,that's if the trains are actually running. |
