Poor retort mr bank / top darter

wings would have given darts 1500 initially imo as we can segregate all sides of PVR with gates, so probably cricket side and either park or road end.


Really, in a ground that can only hold 2,000 people safely. Thats very generous of you.

ground capacity is 4000 i think

your view is 2000, i will stick with the certified figure. As a fellow 2CW and "iron" who do you want tonight? i think blackpool would be better.

I am quite happy withe the game being played at Dartford - I think its fair that the team that finishes highest gets some advantage. It defeats the we had 17 more points but ended up not going up agument to some extent as the odds are stacked in their favour. I suspect it pushes the crowd up as well. Wonder what the record attendance is for the Conf South Final.

But big mistake to allow our country cousins to organise it. Let me see if I've got it straight:

1. The match isn't all ticket you just won't get in if you don't have one     

2. Welling fans can buy them from Dartford but will have to take them back and get another one from Welling

3. There will be no segregation - oops there will be

4. No parking - ok a little bit

5. You can have 800 make that 1000 tickets

6. Our ploy to separate the crowd will be to cut the bottom corner off.

7. The tickets will be on sale errr when they arrive

Still in fairness how could they possibly have anticipated that this fixture would have been popular.

I suspect there are no breweries in Dartford. Apologies if these points have already been made, there's only so much of these threads I can plough through.

4,000 really, I find that hard to believe considering how rammed PVR was on Boxing day. As for your other question, I think you have me mistaken for someone else. I am not a 2CW but I understand there are plenty of non league fans, especially Woking ones who are. However if I had a passing interest in West Ham then I would agree with you that Blackpool would suit their game plan better then Birmingham. Enjoy the game Sunday, it should be a cracker. Possibly the biggest non league game seem in Kent in decades. Let's hope the refs don't spoil it and may the best team win, as long as it us. Btw, at close of play today Dartford only had 400 tickets remaining. Looks like a sell out is guarenteed, so the Russ Abbot should be electric

Got my Welling tickets today.

Still have my Dartford ones as I wanted to make sure I got the Welling ones before taking them back.

Now I'm in the situation where for the bargain price of £24, i know that 2 Dartford fans won't get in. What a lovely warm feeling that gives me.

LOL Stod are you dressing as a nurse again or have the legs gone?

Mr GB, indeed a ripsnorter of a game, a huge crowd, two very good teams, get the prayer mats out and hope for a decent ref who will be impartial and allow a cracker of a game.

If anyone has already bought tickets directly
from Dirtford, just cut off the bottom right hand corner.
Unless there is some special high tech tracking device I don't
reckon they'll be any the wiser!!

Very true.I gather seats are 'first come first served'.
Not sure how they will segregate the seats so
I assume we'll all get shoved into one stand.

Have seen comments on Dartford's forums condemning the decision to apparently "give Welling's floating supporters more rights than Dartford's floating supporters" by giving us 1000 tickets. I haven't checked, but I think its fair to say they don't have 3000 die-hard supporters turning up to Ponces Park each week.

Dartford supporters also blissfully unaware that its a final and not a Darts home game then and that it just happens to be at their ground... Floating support or not , the allocation has to be deemed as fair. I wonder if there would be such a fuss if the opposition wasnt Welling? (i think we all know what the answer to that would be)

I'm really feeling a Woking-esque arrogance coming from some Dartford fans. I don't just want us to get promoted, I want us to smash them now!!

Just read these posts about segregation. This is all very frustrating.  I live and work around 80 miles away and can't get to PVR during these office hours.  The annoying thing is my dear old mum lives just a stones throw away from Princes Park and under the impression it wasn't segregated - kindly bought me a ticket on Tuesday as a suprise.  I now find myself inadvertently segregated in the Dartford end.  For reasons I won't go into - I can't ask her to travel to PVR and swap over.

I'm looking upon the whole match as the opportunity to beat the league's second most insufferable arseholes to go up with the undisputed champions in that category.

I wonder how many of their fans have ever heard of (let alone visited) Watling Street?
My dislike of Dirtford grows by the day...

It wouldn't surprise me if we all turn up on the day to find out that having the bottom right corner of the ticket chopped off makes them void !

Given that we have all paid up front, they have no excuse for not being able to afford enough gate staff or programmes this time

I agree, The Valley would have been perfect - and they would have organised the ticketing professionally.  At Princes Park, people were buying tickets in their tens, before evenually doing 2 per person at the last minute - so expect a load of touts.

Just seen on Sky Sports that southampton's St Mary's stadium is being used for the Hampshire Senior Cup final. Which again begs the question.......why couldn't our game be played at a neutral, bigger capacity ground, knowing that is a great demand for tickets?

Agree the Valley would be ideal but the cost would not make it very viable. One of the visitors to the shop today had an interesting idea. Wembley hosts the Trophy and Vase this weekend.  They could have got the south play off before the trophy and the north before the vase (or vice versa).

Valley - god no - would have been 5-6000 in there and souless. Priestfield maybe - but could anyone organise it in a week? Anyway I'm happy - Dartford finished above us so I think its fair they hve home advanage and a full non-league ground will have a brilliant atmosphere. Come on Welling!

What would have happened if we'd been in the Trophy final as well?

But what if we had - guess Wembley woudn't have said ok lads make it next week, any later and there would be issues around another weeks wages. So the answer is?

I can understand the league giving the game to the team that finished highest. Arranging a neutral ground at short notice would be very difficult. If it had been WSM v Dorchester - they would not appreciate a trip to Priestfield

I also think that it we had finished second we would have moaned like mad if Dartford thought they were entited to half the ground.

I'm not sure that we would have moaned like mad having spoken with Barry on the matter several times in the last few days.

Blue Square finals should have been played at a neutral venue and announced at the start of the season, big enough to accommodate a reasonable number of fans, small enough to create a cracking atomsphere and central enough for all teams in the division to reasonably get to.

In our case, Swindon, Aldershot or Crawley.

I can only assume the reason they're not is due to cost, although I'd like to think the latter two clubs would more readily agree to stage the match as former recent non-league sides.

Going against what I said, I suppose that being the highest placed team gives those secured play off teams something to play for.  A sell out (and such a quick sell out) is a real credit to Kent football and I can't wait.  Just sorry for both sets of fans who are regulars - who haven't been able to get a ticket.  COYW!
