Only on the Dartford website. Most expensive tickets are £14 so presuming our will be this price also.

It's going to be all ticket (or at least it is for home fans) so could really do with sorting it out!

I reckon they must be arguing about allocation or something.

Hi, Dartford fan in peace. I was told earlier that the tickets will arrive by Saturday and will be available to buy from Monday.
I have no idea on what allocation you will receive. Away fans are normally situated in the 'car park end' when segregated. That end normally holds around 700 standing with an additional 40 seated, however, when allocated Luton 1500 when we played them in the league a few seasons ago.

The car park itself holds around 300 and is free, however that fills up quite quickly. There is residential parking nearby but beware there are some restrictions on the main roads.

There is a small bar at the ground which is specifically for the use of away fans,There are also two good sized bars at the stadium, however these are more for home supporters when segregated.
The nearest pub to the ground is the Ivy Leaf on Darenth Road, which is about a five minute walk away. Whilst further along the same road is the Malt Shovel, which also does food. Both these pubs are listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide.

Otherwise Dartford Town Centre is around a 15 minute walk away, where there are plenty of pubs to be found. There is a Wetherspoons called The Flying Boat which is on Spital Street at the top end of the High Street.

Hope you enjoy your visit
Chris

Hi folks, I'm in the uk for a week around this game, my dad will be able to get himself a ticket but I'll be forced to wait for general sale unless anyone on here with the requisite points isn't looking to go and would be happy to help out?  This will likely be my only game of the season so I'm desperate to go.

My old man is going to see if anyone can help at his end too but help would be greatly appreciated. 

Cheers folks

Not sure though as we have never sold out our full allocation at Yeovil ever.


Title: Re: Dartford (a)
Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Friday, October 27, 2017, 10:47:41
That was the initial allocation I believe. The terrace alone holds approx 1500 plus we were allocated 400 or so seats

WE'RE SORRY!

Yeovil tickets appear to be back on sale now. It still says initial allocation is 1000 terrace and 400 seats. I suspect we'll get more if required.

Who knows what's been going on with the system this morning though.

I went in for my Dartford ticket at 9am on Saturday. The lad said there were about 200 left, and 3 or 4 others came in while I was there. If there are any left now, it can't be many and they'll definitely all go today.

I don't know how many are left for the terrace at Yeovil (seats are all gone) but it's probably plenty and they're now on general sale.

To be honest beer prices in the north seem to be rapidly catching up with London Prices, had a pint in Putney a few months back and it wasn't a million miles different to what you pay in certain pubs in Lancaster.

What you have to remember is that being in the south it’s a full pint of beer, not a half pint with some froth on top ;)

A full pint of flat beer.... lovely. Beer up here does have a head but we get them topped up in the north but that's because we engage with the bar staff...

Sorry to hear you got ripped off.

Yours sincerely,

£2.60 a pint? How cheap is it where you are?

I just realised I paid £6 for a 1/3 of a pint on Friday, oops

I wasn't being entirely serious, although it's easy enough to get a pint for under £2.50 depending what you drink and where. Horlock07's right in that some places are becoming a lot more southern in their pricing, but Lancaster doesn't typify the north as a whole.

13.00 only buys 2 and a bit pints where I live, Having said that at least it is decent beer. Been in some establishments and it was that flat they were serving it in envelopes!

Hats off to the staff at the Dartford Working Mens club for their extra friendly and hospitable staff who made the London/Reading Reds very welcome.

Also £13 for 5 pints!

Absolutely cracking club, and even better than I was hoping for. So welcoming and the ale was top notch, a great selection and as you say BO, cheap as.

Haha. Yeah we had a token women in our group so there no sexism here. There was a few in our group who "work" in the loosest sense of the term too and they still didn't discriminate. Bravo

Do some CIU clubs still operate a no women policy? The Queenstown, near the CG used to years back, but is no longer the case. Maybe a South Wales thing  :hmmm:

Dunno if it still doesn't, but until fairly recently the Liberal Club in Lancaster did not allow women in, which always struck me as being not particularly liberal!
