I can confirm that the Promotion Final next week will take place at 1pm.

The separation of kick off times is to maximise the streaming of each Final to allow more choice and of course to make it a trio of Finals that date with another being played at Wembley later in the day. In addition Dartford FC will travel on the Friday for their Final.

I believe the Final is on a normal BT Sports Channel next week Gaz & not this awkward streaming option, is that correct??

Not according to the release I've seen (and pasted the explanation in the post above).

Just listened to the Weymouth postmatch interview. It seems they have a couple of Bournemouth youngsters up front who have been doing well for the Terras. Also seems that Jason Prior also missed out on a couple of goalscoring opportunities for Dorking.
Weymouth printed a programme for the game, available as an online order, so would expect a similar thing for our game to be available.

Just hope we can do it next Saturday and then I can look forward once again to another visit to Wrexham, who my son and granddaughter support. Never expected that to be even on the cards looking back to September. So a big thank you to the squad for putting us in with a shout of a return to the top flight.

I looked for this in BT schedule only see fa cup final that afternoon

I think showing the North and South finals on a BT Channel as well as the National final was one of the options when talk of tv coverage of the play-off matches was first being discussed. The trouble would be after seeing the skills & talents of the Darts, Weymouth, Boston & Altrincham the huffing & puffing of Arsenal & Chelsea would have been a terrible let down for viewers. With the Darts playing first everything after would inevitably be of a poorer quality, all going downhill from 3pm.

In response to a couple of things posted elsewhere, the programme for Saturday's game at Weymouth is being produced by the National League not Weymouth.
Club officials are waiting for details on how to buy it.

Thanks for that update Gary. Perhaps the National League will be producing a 3 in 1 Finals programme, which would make sense to keep costs down.

Well, a nervous anticipation week ahead! No doubt Weymouth at home are a strong opponent (like Havant) but we are all as one cheering the lads on from afar.

Sadly, the 1pm kick off means I can’t watch it live which for me is a major upsetting thing.

We have a good squad with many options with the key ingredient of pace. We deserve this shot at going up as we have been nothing short of magnificent since SK took over.

We are Dartford, Princes Park, can you hear us!

Doesn't get nay better than this. What a turnaround eh. Think we have only played Weymouth once and that may have been when the chuckle bros were at the helm? We will be a completely different proposition Saturday. A huge game but if the team show the commitment they have over the last couple of games we have one hell of a shot at promotion. We have some real quality throughout the side but my fear is The King of Princes Park getting poached by a lower league club, he is a genius. What an appointment by the club. Born is The King of Princes Park.
