*BS*The club are now able to announce ticket information for next month’s FA Cup tie against Crystal Palace.*BF*

It was announced today that the third round match has been moved to Sunday January 4th (1pm kick-off) and will be televised live on BT Sport.

The match will be held at Crabble following approval from the Safety Advisory Group and local Police, with the full capacity of 5,745 being made available.

This is an all-ticket game and all must pay – no tickets will be available on the day.

Crystal Palace have been allocated the Town End and the Family Stand, with Whites receiving the River End and the main stand. Tickets will be £20 for terraces and £25 for seating – these prices are set for everyone who purchases a ticket, with no concessions.

Half of the Dover Athletic allocation will go on-sale next week at Crabble, with the first two days being solely for season ticket holders, and are strictly limited to 1 ticket per person.

Following this, the remainder of the first half of tickets will go on general sale at Crabble, and are strictly limited to 4 tickets per person.

*BS*UPDATE*BF*
*IS*Owing to a delay in FA Cup tickets being sent to the club, Crabble will now be open to season ticket holders on Thursday 18th and Friday 19th December, between 11am-2pm and 5pm-7pm – and on general sale Saturday 20th December between 9am-12pm. Dates for the following weeks will be confirmed shortly.*IF*

The second half of our allocation will be sold at the club’s home game against Welling on Boxing Day, to offer fans who were unable to make next week’s times an opportunity to purchase their tickets.

Dover brushed past Lowestoft to set up an FA Trophy second round trip to either Weymouth or Havant and Waterlooville, in spite of having defender Tom Wynter in goal after Andy Rafferty had been sent off for a professional foul in the first half.

Expectation would be that Dover’s emergency stopper would have had to pull off a string of saves to keep Lowestoft at bay, given the home team had all the initiative, but Wynter admits it was a completely different story. ‘I really did not have a lot to do to be honest. I had to come out and collect the ball twice and catch it once because the defence were so solid and we were in complete control of the game. We really frustrated Lowestoft and hit them on the counter attack.’*Lpic1*

Tom did pick the ball out of the net once though, as he instantly faced the penalty given against Whites after Rafferty’s foul. ‘The first thing I thought was how cold I was standing it goal! I admit I made a really poor effort to try and stop the penalty, even though Hooky (Lee Hook) offered me £50 if I saved it!’

Saturday was the second time this season Whites have needed an outfield player to step in between the sticks. Sean Raggett donned the gloves away to Dartford earlier this season after Mitchell Walker suffered a serious arm injury, but the home team won 2-1 late on. This time Tom was happy to volunteer for the role. ‘To be honest there was no way I could let Rags (Sean Raggett) go in goal again as he was terrible, so I told the gaffer I was decent in goal! The only thing I was nervous about was taking goal kicks, but after the first one I was fine.’ He also added. ‘I don’t think I’ll volunteer to go in goal against Palace though!’*Q1*

With Andy Rafferty suspended for Saturday’s upcoming trip to Altrincham and Mitchell Walker only just back training after his injury, it is likely that goalkeeping coach Lee Hook will fill the number one spot, though he has not have played many games recently. ‘Mitch has already offered to play’ said Tom’, but I don’t think the physio is keen. Hooky is still a quality keeper though.’ He also joked ‘he just cannot play back to back games as he seizes up for a week after a match!’

Wembley beckons for Dover should they win the next four ties and Wynter is confident Whites have what it takes to make it to the final. ‘We are taking this competition seriously and definitely going for it. This team has got lots of character and quality and we really don’t fear anyone right now!’*Lpic2*

*BS*Dover Athletic booked their place in the second round of the FA Trophy at the expense of Vanarama Conference North side Lowestoft Town, despite playing with 10 men and defender Tom Wynter in goal for over 45 minutes of the game.*BF*

Tyrone Sterling put Whites ahead but goalkeeper Andrew Rafferty was shown a straight red card for denying a goalscoring opportunity, before Jack Ainsley converted the resulting penalty.

But goals from Tom Murphy and Bury-loanee James Poole secured a comfortable victory in spite of the circumstances as they stretched their unbeaten run to 12 games in all major competitions.

And Chris Kinnear’s side will discover their next opponents during Monday morning’s FA Trophy Second Round draw.
