We can now confirm that our postponed National League game against Notts County at Crabble has now been re-arranged for Tuesday, February 15th at 7.45 pm.
The game was originally scheduled to take place last Saturday but was postponed after the referee decided the pitch was unplayable and with further rain forecast called the game off.
Chairman Jim Parmenter gives us his thoughts after the referee made the decision to call off the National League game against Notts County at Crabble.
The Dover manager, who also missed training on Thursday, is now isolating, so first-team coach Nicky Southall will take charge against the sixth-placed visitors.

We are delighted to announce that Harry Ransom has extended his loan stay at Crabble until the end of the season.
The 22-year-old Crawley Town centre-half initially joined us in September for four months and has made 17 appearances in all competitions in that time.
He’s scored once, that coming in the 3-2 defeat against Wealdstone at Crabble.
Junior Tiensia has returned to Championship side Millwall at the end of his loan spell with us.
The 21-year-old left-back made his debut for Andy Hessenthaler’s side in the 1-1 draw in the National League clash away at Weymouth on September 18th.
He went on to play another 12 National League games, and also made two appearances in the FA Cup and another in the FA Trophy.
Everybody at the club would like to thank Junior for his contribution during his time with us and we wish him all the very best for the future.
Maidstone United loanee Alfie Pavey scored our first goal of 2022 but it wasn’t enough to prevent hosts, Dagenham & Redbridge, from winning the National League clash 3-1 at The Chigwell Construction Stadium.
After the game, we spoke with coach Nicky Southall to get his reaction.
Andy Hessenthaler and his squad start the New Year with a trip to London on Sunday for the return match against Dagenham & Redbridge in the Vanarama National League at 3pm.
DAGENHAM FORM GUIDE:
The Daggers won 2-0 at Crabble on Boxing Day before beating visiting Aldershot Town 1-0 thanks to Angelo Balanta’s third goal in four matches last Tuesday.
That was their third consecutive National League win which started with a 3-2 win at home against Grimsby Town on December 4.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the new and existing sponsors and advertisers, who continue to support us in what is an extremely difficult time for everyone.
It is also an appropriate time to say thank you to our small team of volunteers, people who selflessly work hard behind the scenes to prepare for and deliver match days.
