Dorchester Match and Chant Watch Thread

As I'm just about to start out to deepest Dorset thought I'd get this one going. It's pelting down with rain here and the back garden is absolutely sodden. Hope the Dorchester pitch drains well. Weather forecast looks brighter for kick off.

You'll find me outside the ground today selling FA Cup half and half special edition Hooper Hearing Aids, notebooks with IKEA pencils for the wannabe PIs in the crowd and Tony Hooper/Mary Whitehouse In Love t-shirts.

Snowing up that way innit.

Been pouring down here all night. Gardens flooded, and at the moment it's a sort of 70/30 sleet, more rain than snow.

It has been very wet in Wiltshire for a couple of weeks and Dorchester's not that far away really.

All the firework displays around here were cancelled yesterday because the ground was already waterlogged.

It is forecast to be brighter down there this afternoon but I'm not sure what state the pitch was in to start with

I doubt Dorchester's pitch has very good drainage. Will be surprised if there's not a pitch inspection.

Pissing down here and Gales forecast all the way up the channel, wet as fook, arrived at the refinery 0630, no hope of a passage to Dorchy now, good luck to all who get there.

Anyone who fancies watching the game at the GT suite - usual £5 entry - free pastie and pint. No Savile gags today tho :-(

Is Dorchester dropping down to Plymouth level

Dorchester Town Football Club are seeking more volunteers to help with a tidy up of the stadium tomorrow morning in preparation for the cup game against Plymouth Argyle Sunday.

Dave Read will be organising the big clean so for those who are willing and able to lend a hand, please be at the stadium for 9am. If you can, please bring a brush and shovel.

Also, volunteers are sought to sell raffle tickets on Sunday prior to kick off. With a first prize of £400, a second prize of £100 and a third prize of £50 all kindly donated by Harmony Music in Dorchester, demand will be high. If you can help please contact Dave Ring or Lloyd Spracklen by calling on 01305 850099 or post a reply below.

Thank you for your support, it's very much appreciated.

Their pitch is well known for draining too efficiently and often needs watering pre game .

You know what guys ? I just had my first feeling of pre match nerves............. for years ! And I'm not even going of course.

How village am I ffs ! ?

I'm sure the dream team of Carl and Romain will have the boys finely tuned and ready to go, Nool will be looking out for celebs to be photographed with ,Where's Webby will still be searching for his IP address, whilst Jameson and the Snooper will be compiling a list of suspected Savile joke tellers and quaffing pints of real ale like real men !

Sodding site asks for mob number. When I enter it says I have to reply to a message on it to activate. No sodding signal where I live!!!! It'll have to be the radio.

Bit of a mixture line-up from us. It's like we're not quite putting out our best team.

Glad Griffiths the Goal has a chance against the sort of standard he's been prolific against in the past. Getting the ball to him in decent areas will be key.

Having said that the conditions aren't great. I'm more than a bit worried
