Dorking Wandering
The Dorking Wanderers FC Fans Forum
A trip to East London awaits this weekend as we face Dagenham & Redbridge at Victoria Road. The Daggers have had a difficult first season back at Step 2 as they currently sit 13th in the table on 49 points. Recent form has improved though, with 2 wins and a draw in their last 5 games, and the news this week that popular YouTuber KSI has purchased a 20% stake in the club.
The weekly update actually gave some relatively promising injury news for a change with Niall McManus expected to return for this one. Moore and Rutherford were described as "doubts" but might not be too far away. Jake Lawrence has been recalled from his loan at Bognor, while Dennon Lewis may be able to feature with the help of injections to manage his groin problem. Paul McCallum was described as 2-3 weeks away and interestingly, Patrick Casey got a mention as having an outside chance for a return in April. Dan Gallagher and Jimmy Muitt were described as mid-term with Marc not ruling out the possibility of seeing either of them again this season.
Brennan Camp serves the final game of his suspension while George Knight serves the second of his.

One other aspect of this weekend is that it is our first game on grass for almost 2 months.
Will be interesting to see how we adapt as we've only won 3 games on grass all season.
@oscardwfc Yeah, I think we usually have a good 'walk up' number as many are used to paying on the gate.
Tickets will remain on sale online up until kick-off. Tickets are also available to purchase on the day at the turnstiles from one hour and a half prior to kick-off.
Please note that ticket prices increase by £2 on the day of the fixture, with the discounted prices available until 11:55pm the day before the game.
(So purchase before you go to bed tonight if you want to make a small saving)

Right then, I might as well start predicting if I'm going to win that scarf!
