Is entry to tonight’s game now cancelled after to the government announcement? Or is it still going ahead ?

I'm Guessing that entry is still ok nothing from the club, plus they still do need to pilot test these games.

If we get drawn away to lower league team on the 3rd October can we go then or has all football been forced to play behind close doors?

Then again just seen that Boris as said pilot schemes have also been postponed, be good if the club can clairfy

[The 5th Searcher]

I’m guessing that tonight’s game is still going ahead as the governments changes don’t come in to play until Thursday.

Tuesday matches to go ahead with fans

BBC Sport

The three friendly matches hosted by National League clubs this evening with fans in the stadium are set to go ahead as planned.

Dartford, Dagenham and Redbridge and Yeovil have all made social media posts in the past hour advertising their respective games and the ticketing policy.

In addition, Dagenham and Redbridge said that they had been 'advised by the FA that our match against Concord Rangers tonight can go ahead as planned.'

The matches are limited to a maximum of 1,000 spectators, with tickets needing to be purchased before kick-off in line with club guidance.

I can't believe that there are still so many people who believe the covid crisis is a conspiracy, when clearly this government couldn't manage a conspiracy if they wanted to. Never attribute machiavellian skullduggery to events that are much better explained by incompetence. As a law-abiding citizen who wants to see all of us come out the other side of this pandemic unscathed, I have followed and will continue to follow all the rules imposed by this government. However, with all the inconsistencies, U-turns and seemingly non-sensical decisions I suspect the tide is turning and more and more people are arriving at the conclusion that, at best, we are being governed by a bunch of well-meaning incompetents who haven't got a scooby what to do next.

Spot on and well said. Only thing I disagree with is “well meaning” bit.
Lies, lies and more lies. Cummings etc.

How do you take Boris seriously if he 'pauses' the football attendance tests but not yet! If the covid threat is so dire surely tonight's game should have been fan free.

Well another positive result against a team from National League Premier, should have won it having hit the bar 3 times. At 60 mins we made multiple changes and it appeared that our defence was caught cold for the Dover equaliser.

Pre-season game and a Dover player gets sent off!

Well done to the club for conducting tonight with 521 fans. Think the late notice and decision meant the 1000 were not there.

Good quality big squad and so onto Barnet on Saturday in front of no fans again.

I can't remember seeing so many players so committed. Every player on the pitch hassled and chased everything. Good run out for all of the lads and can't wait for the season to start - preferably with fans though.
