What an amazing first full season in management. I can honestly say I’ve enjoyed every minute of it — the incredible highs, the difficult lows, and everything in between.

We’ve been so fortunate to recruit such a great group of talented lads. That doesn’t come around often and certainly isn’t the norm. No matter what happens on Monday, these players have created memories that will last a lifetime.

We’ve had so much fun along the way, and to reach the play-off final is a remarkable achievement for everyone involved, especially when you consider the experience and resources we have.

I’d like to think you, the supporters, have enjoyed the ride. It really feels like we’re on the right path to getting our Dover Athletic back.

It’s been a really difficult few years for everyone connected to the club. That happens to all football clubs, even the biggest in the world. But now is the time to put the past behind us and look forward to exciting times ahead.

We, the club, need you more than ever. Your support is vital if we’re to grow and compete — not just at this level, but beyond.

We’d love to keep the nucleus of this group together, and your continued support can help us do just that. We’ve had some special days and nights this season, and we all want more.

Spread the word, and let’s hope we finish on a high!
