Think we could get 500 away fans there for this one !

Who is going? 10 mins walk from my house I will be there after over indulging on Christmas Day will be my first visit I’ve heard good things about the ground would be amazing to make the atmosphere a proper Darts Boxing Day derby sing along like Ebsfleet 2 years ago!

Gutted I can’t make this one as it’s the wife’s birthday 😏😏 & the ground is only about a 5min drive from my house 😡😡.

Should be a cracking atmosphere with a very big crowd, wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a sell out tbh.

They have a car park at the ground but it’s not that big so I’d advise getting there early.
Otherwise you should be able to park in the side roads just outside the ground, I don’t think it gets coned off round there.

Any chance this could be a sell-out? El Thaneto sold out pretty quickly, although it is the first meeting between Margate and Ramsgate for 15 years and I believe the ‘gate’ is limited to 2,500.

Any idea what the capacity is at Chatham? They usually get close to 2k crowd so presume capacity must be reasonably high

That’s good to know 👍 I see against Folkestone they had over 1700 there, guessing they will keep getting bigger crowds now their form has picked up I think DFC could learn from some of the things Chatham do within the community as most of my wife’s family of all ages go to every home game.

I remember Chatham being followed by a few hundred people each game how times have changed, loved the incentive at the top of the page where they offered tickets to home games in the Black Friday sale for only £8 (nearly half our price on the gate)

Having lived down this way for the last 26 years Mikey El Thanito has been pretty non existent.
Margate have been ordinary and Ramsgate have some guy throwing money at them the last few seasons.
A friend is a Rams supporter and he was banging on last season that they were 'walking it's and were looking forward to playing us next season whilst by passing Margate.
The arse fell out on that theory. But he's now looking forward to next season. I'm not too sure on that either as Sittingbourne are closing the gap on the Ram's and if they slip up again on the automatic position it would be a better shout for an El Thanito in the play offs.
I've tried to watch all clubs down this way but of course, there's been nothing like the pull of the Dart's even when we were struggling in the Kent league/step4.

Having said all that if it all stays as it is Ram's do get the automatic spot and Margate win the play offs it will cut my mileage down considerably.

What chance Tonbridge having a dip in form??
