DOVER Athletic are expecting another big crowd at Crabble tomorrow - despite the (questionable) attraction of Christmas shopping!

They take on great Kent rivals Dartford in the third qualifying round of the FA Trophy with home fans praying that Andy Hessenthaler's side can cast off their dismal recent league form for an important cup tie.

The Darts come to Crabble at runaway leaders of the Ryman Premier Division and looking hot favourites to follow Dover into Conference South at the end of this season.

Fans will be segregated at the request of Kent Police.
