    The first question is an obvious one. Is it likely to be worth watching in terms of the team we put out?

    f travelling by car, parking is free and we would suggest arriving 45 minutes before kick-off for most games to ensure getting a space. For bigger matches it is advisable to arrive earlier.

    It's about a 15min walk from the station.

    I would say it's a good 15 minute walk as mostly uphill.
    Another option, if coming by train, is to take the Fastrack B bus from the station. It runs  every 10-12 minutes and stops right outside the ground.

    Will be surprised if its not the same squads we saw against Celtic and Welling

    Maybe a little bit of moving players about, but otherwise I reckon this'll be the last game before Adkins starts working on a main eleven ahead of the Sheffield Wednesday match

    Interesting to see if Wassim gets a run out today - not played at all in either of the games so far

    Not a tough walk, and a couple of decent pubs en route. I hear the match is sold out, so parking near the ground may be hard.
    Looking forward to this. My league team meets my non league team.

    No the stadium is adjacent to two main roads and the the A2 at the back with a school behind. The roads on the Dartford side are busy and limited parking. You will be parking almost in town centre.

    Sold out, but not at full capacity due to Covid restrictions (2000 I think will be there today)

    Also my non league team, so will be there

    I’m going - only 5 min walk from my house

    Easy walk from the station - decent pub Malt Shovel on the way - also the Ivy Leaf pub is on the way, which is ok

    I recommend getting there for 2.00pm as for a big crowd (which for Dartford 2000 is) there can be queues to get in (not many turnstiles)

    It’s a nice modern ground - put sun cream on or a hat, it’s very open

    So when is the main squad going to start playing? But behind the news at the moment but haven’t seen Inniss, Matthews, Gunter (presuming Euros), Gilbey etc. Team so far is basically reserves I presume as looks weak

    It is a nice modern ground compared to the old Watling St site where I played at. Last time I was at the current location was for Kent Senior Cup against them which we lost and those playing that day that immediately spring to mind were Nick Pope , Jordan Cousins, Morgan Fox I think, Jason Euell and Alonso.

    Besides the club car park there is some parking in the road leading to the trading estate, Powder Mill Lane. Problem being there is only one exit from all of this onto Princes Road. There is some parking on Fleet Estate, I have no idea what it is like in the Brent Lane area. I usually park at the Orange Tree end of Powder Mill Lane as I come from that way.  There is only limited parking as road is blocked but I've always got a spot there. 15-20 minute walk.

    Old ground was on Watling Street, and was a bit of a dump

    Cheers, duly edited also think it might have been an earlier round than the final 🤔

    There is a Goals football site nearby within the Leigh school - possibly people will be able to park there as well

    Not just NA, several members of staff and players won’t be in attendance.

    You could be describing any part of Dartford there.

    I am surprised that this doesn't mean the whole lot have to self isolate.

    It's only close contacts isn't, we learnt this during the Euros when Clarke slobbered all over Gilmour but Mount and Chigwell had to isolate :wink:

    I don't know why they use different protocols in cricket but that's a different subject.
