Usually a really popular one this, as it's against a former EFL club in a decent stadium

Supporter coach departs Dorking High Street at 11.30am, £25 return fare per person - online coach booking link: dwfc.ticketco.events/uk/en/e/supporters_travel_to_dagenham__redbridge

Doesn't appear to be on sale yet which is odd considering this is only 10 days away...

This one is usually 'soft' segregation isn't it (i.e. same entrance but separate area) - or has that changed now?

@adeb Away end has been the small seated stand to the right hand side of the old away section behind the goal

Yep, away fans are now usually in what was once known as the Family Stand.

Quite a lot of pillars in the way.

But a rather low roof and I reckon we'll make a right din under it after some pre match drinks in the Pipe Major

It's the nearest stand to the camera (on the right of the photo below)

Google says it only holds about 200, which probably wouldn't be enough though??? Perhaps that is the hold up?

EDIT - Just had a count up from the seating plan for their home game against Totton this weekend - I can count 208 seats (Totton have sold just 1 seat lol)

A little digging reveals that Dagenham will 'reluctantly'(!) give part of the stand behind the goal (as it used to be) for larger away followings (more than 300, I think)...

EDIT - that 300 figure seems to be based on the Family stand, plus a small portion of the stand next to it (you can see it's quite easy to segregate). I also think we will still use the same entrance as the home fans?

When Palace played there in a pre season friendly we got the whole of the seated stand behind the goal.

At West Ham womens games (don't ask!) away fans get the terrace at the far end

I think we can generate a crackling atmosphere in that 208 seat family stand!

@dorking-eagle Hornchurch this season had the original away end behind the goal, they took around 1100

No chance of us taking 1100, but we'll deffo need more than 208, and I am not sure Daggers will want our lot in high spirits in a bit of their Main Stand as an 'overflow' 

It's a decent awayday in what is more of a stadium than many basic grounds at this level, plus the big pub nearby

@dorking-eagle Id take a guess that if we sell over 208 tickets they would immediately move us to the stand behind the goal and segregate it with home fans and leave the 208 seat away stand empty or filled with home fans if there is big enough demand

The match is on sale now, I think we are in our usual bit behind the goal (not 100% sure?)

Yep, just booked our 3 seats in the block nearest to the goal. Very straightforward as is most clubs systems, and A4 tickets arrived immediately by email

It also appears that match ticket prices increase by £2 on matchday
