Dover Athletic are delighted to confirm that free coach travel will be available for supporters travelling to our Emirates FA Cup Third Qualifying Round tie away at Hanwell Town on Saturday 3 October. The travel has been generously provided by Newsteam, allowing supporters to make the trip to Perivale Lane completely free of charge.

Initial sign-ups will take place in the Centre Spot from 12.30pm this Saturday, ahead of our National League South fixture against AFC Totton.

There will be sufficient coaches available to meet demand. Supporters who sign up will be issued with a numbered ticket, which will indicate the coach they have been allocated. Each coach will display its corresponding number in the windscreen on the day.

As the travel is completely free, we ask supporters not to book a place unless they are confident they will be able to travel, helping us ensure seats are available for those who need them. Supporters under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Please also note that alcohol is strictly prohibited on coaches, while smoking and vaping are also not permitted. We want everyone travelling with us to enjoy the day and represent the club in the right way. Any unruly or unacceptable behaviour may result in individuals being refused return travel.

Coaches will depart Crabble at 11am.

UPDATE: Due to the high expected demand for our free coach travel to Hanwell Town, places must be booked in person and supporters will not be able to book on behalf of another adult. Parents or guardians may book places for accompanying under-16s. Initial sign-ups open in the Centre Spot from 12.30pm this Saturday.

Further information, and any additional booking arrangements, will be confirmed in due course.
