Matchday is here again already and, with only one non-matchday since the last one, the Bank Holiday sees Dover Met Office Athletic FC visit the San Sirrel on the 41st anniversary of our famous win at Stamford Bridge to re-enter what is now The Premier League. Something of a contrast in our fortunes you might say. Today's somewhat less illustrious opponents will be playing in the sixth tier next season.
Following Saturday's disappointing showing and result Ian Burchnall and his squad will be hoping to produce a 'statement' win against the already-relegated serial postponers.

It will be interesting to see today's team and bench selections after some fans expressed surprise that several members of the team had been rested or rotated on Saturday. Will top-scorer Kyle Wootton be fully recovered after his back injury and lead the line from the off?

Notts fans will be expecting nothing less than a convincing win and hoping for a quality performance to back it up as we go into the last games of the normal season.
