Just got my ticket for this game which will be my first league game of season, as been following Crawley away this season.

I am going for Dorking 2, Maidstone 0 (Rutherford, Briggs). Attendance 1,863. Hoping to see Crawley loan player Anthony Papdopoulos play for opposition and also ex Crawley players Tony Craig and George Francomb. Is Rhys Murphy still injured?

On a separate matter, don't feel the new ticket system is as good as last year. Seems to be slower as you have to add your details every time and verify by phone. Don't seem to be able to set up an account anymore, so don't know how club keep record of who is attending matches.

Dorking 0-0 Maidstone Utd

1,898 att.

Assuming Carter is still out and McManus isn't suspended yet then I think it will be a similar side to Saturday. Might see Bowerman come in for JNW as we manage his return from injury still and we could see Theo start instead of JP as he played 90 on Sat.

                             Foulkes

          Camp            Craig         Milsom

Muitt         McManus       Gallagher       Bowerman

                             Young

               Rutherford     Alexandrou

Subs: Francomb, Fuller, Norville-Williams, Briggs, Prior

Ticketing system works alright for me when I buy my wife's tickets on it. When I first logged in to find my account (to get my season ticket QR code) it was quite surprising that it showed me every purchase I had made before on numerous other clubs ticketing sites that use the same company!

I can't make this game as I've got to be overnight in London for a few days - gutted as they are usually classics.

 

I'll go for a statement win, 4:1, I would love to predict a clean sheet, but that seems optimistic!

Thanks. The system does not recognise me, and can't find how to register account so have contacted Ticketco.

Anyone know what sort of crowd Maidstone will bring over?

Fancy a 2-1 home win. Be a few tired legs from the weekend no doubt but the ground should be buzzing. Can’t wait to get down there

That freezing Tuesday night game in December a couple of seasons ago they brought that few fans (even though it was a NL game) 

It's a huge shame the game couldn't have been Boxing Day or Good Friday then we could have had hundreds more away fans filling the tills

Also pay on the gate now, so looking like crowd will be lower than hoped.

I am hoping for some consistency in performance tonight. And lots of goals! After the brilliant display v Hemel it was pretty flat next home game. Still a makeshift team so hard to be too confident, especially if we are missing Jason’s defensive work in the air. I am going 3-2; crowd 1,400.

Hoping for a 2-1 win for the Wanderers. Maidstone had a rough start, but have been doing well in League play. They lost on Saturday to Solihull. It really depends, which version of the Wanderers comes out. Hoping we can build on the momentum of the past couple of games. McManus has really stepped up in the last few games, and Muitt has been playing really well. Brookings will really be missed, as is Carter (hope he is doing ok). Young is tenacious player that keeps gelling more and more with the team.

Score 1-1 crowd of 1,390. Maidstone have a really tight defence, so we really need to score first to get a positive result here. Otherwise its a an uphill battle, however they struggle to score themselves. I think they will be top 7 end of season.

You are spot on @JacksonFairweather

A really flat performance and relieved to escape with a draw to be honest. Second half Maidstone wanted it more, created more and looked more likely to score. Really worrying that against ten men we could not pass around them and dominate possession- just like Salisbury game. 

Jimmy was a threat all game, Jack Young tried his best to get on the ball and make things happen but otherwise the energy levels were low and the passing awful at times. Didn’t create a chance until the last few minutes and then TC made a horrible mess of a free header.  If the players were tired  why pick virtually the same 11 as Saturday?  More injuries too.  Sorry to be negative but that was a very disappointing night, when hopes were high.

Still only 1 clean sheet all season (1-0 home to Chippenham). 

2nd half against 10 men almost zero service from the wings.

Niall injured (calf), Camp suspended for Slough (shame as he's looking excellent) 

One step forward, one step back

Half time challenge inspired bit of fun, apparently its here to stay but slightly different format each week

Another positive is some online club shop items were available to purchase in the ground at the club shop sheds (thus saving postage) - great to see fan suggestions being taken up, and well done Ollie at the club for implementing them!

On the Cheltenham - wheel em in
