Dorking Wandering
The Dorking Wanderers FC Fans Forum
A first visit to the Testwood Stadium this weekend as we look to bounce back from a tough Easter at newly promoted AFC Totton. The Stags have had a good first season in the NLS and currently sit 13th in the league on 57 points. The Hampshire side have nothing to play for though, as relegation and promotion are both now impossible for them, and this means recent form has seen them pick up just 1 win from their last 5 games.
Marc said in the weekly update that Camp and Rutherford are possibilities for this weekend, but Pat Casey is unlikely to return until the very end of the season. Harry Pinchard will miss the game with the injury picked up on Easter Monday, while Paul McCallum is also a doubt. There was no mention of Tony Craig or Niall McManus.
Predictions:
Totton 1-2 Dorking (Prior, Lewis)
1,602 att.
Foulkes
Francomb Annesley Norville-Williams
Enslin Pybus Sidwell Lewis
F.Vincent
Carter Prior
Subs: Camp, Knight, L.Vincent, Moore, Pearson, Rutherford, Lawrence
The pizza van seems to be well received, but there is still a large expanse of the ground (dugouts side and away end) with no food and drink
I sit in the Stonegate stand so have no real issue with this but that is where there there is room for improvement, even if it was just a tea bar.
Tiered standing would be really good on the dugouts side.
I also think the Lampard Stand should be at the front of that side (ie up against the front rail, with the perimeter rail lowered) and anyone wanting to walk past it would then walk behind it rather than in front of everyone sitting down trying to watch the game.
If we do go up we really could do with putting that roof on the away end too, hundreds of northerners who have spent a lot to travel for hours to visit us shouldn't be getting soaked if it rains.
Shame about TC by the way, what a career, I remember him when at Palace at a young age.

Re Tony Craig, a sad way to end a career for someone who was a great servant to the club, never let the club down and played a big part in keeping us up when he first arrived.
Respect and appreciation are well deserved.

Agreed, old traditional defender who actually enjoyed defending, whereas nowadays too many of them seem to prefer to attack. Remember his great performances at Crawley as well as Dorking.
@hemelwanderer Sad but inevitable I think. I was thinking he’d call it it day anyway regardless of the injury .
