Think the closest station is Kearnsley or something like that.
Cheap(ish) group save tickets from London Victoria, could be worth a go for Gasheads....

Shame about the need to get a bus from Folkstone. There is a high speed train service from St Pancras, which is quicker than Victoria, by an hour in total to Dover Priory. Still quicker to Folkstone, but the bus will be a pain in the arse and I'm not convinced the local bus service will be prepared for how many Gasheads will be using it on the day (both back and forth). The club could do with getting in touch with Dover over the next couple of weeks to avoid a chaotic day for Gasheads.
This penultimate game of the season could feasilbly turn out to be a mini-1990 Blackpool fancy dress style celebration. If the weather is also set fair, Dover are set for a money spinner that they will need to start planning for very soon. They can officially accommodate 2,000 away fans (5,785 capacity), but if the home side have nothing to play for at the time they would be daft not to give us half of their main stand seats. Judging by the pictures of their lovely looking ground, segregation of the main stand is feasible, which could give us another 1,000.
Just over 20 miles to France from the ground!

3,000 would be a big ask even if we're still top. Good 3 and half hours away

Some good deals with Travelodge in Ramsgate and Canterbury. Some cheap hotels in Calais and Dunkirk too. I Just hope I can get a match ticket now

I'm assuming the bus runs from Folkestone Central and not Folkestone west?

I think we'll take at least 7,000 to this game The ground only holds 5,745 so there will be a lot standing outside! This will definitely be an all ticket game. We should be given 2,000 tickets but lets hope Dover want to make maximum profit and give us a lot more. |

Living in Folkestone I would not recommend getting accommodation to far from the ground as it is hard to get to. Getting digs in Folkestone or Dover would be best. P.s the bus prices here are extortionate

Probably end up driving for this one! Looked into that train set up and it's a proper ball ache!

P.s the bus prices here are extortionate I've read that you can get a taxi from Folkestone to Dover for as little as £12. I'm looking at getting a train from st.pancras to Folkestone and taxiing it to Dover. |

You can still get to Kearsney and Dover Priory if you go from London Victoria as that section only suffers from bustitution on the Sunday. |

If all we needed to do was win, to seal the title & an immediate return to the football league, we would take as many tickets as we would be allowed! 3k+ easily!
Any one who thinks otherwise, well....you baffle me!

If you can get a few of you to share a cab then it is well worth it |
