Margate switch Hereford game - again
Margate have announced just 24 hours before their game against Hereford United that there has been a venue chance.
Due to the state of the pitch at Dover's Crabble Ground, the game has been switched to Hartsdown Park. Kick off is still at 7.45pm.
Margate chairman Jim Parmenter told the official Margate website: “The pitch at Crabble is still suffering at the moment and we are doing everything we can to help. We are grateful to Hereford and the Conference for agreeing that this fixture be switched. Hopefully it will also make it easier for Margate fans to make it to the game."
Despite the short notice of the change, it is hoped that a good Hereford following will travel to Kent to support the Bulls. Graham Turner is expected to name an unchanged side for the match, and told the Evening News: "I saw Margate in the FA Trophy at Worcester and they looked a solid side so it won't be easy. Margate did okay but Worcester had chances in the first half and should have scored."
Margate manager Chris Kinnear is missing Graham Porter and Terry McFlynn. Porter serves a one-match ban following his dismissal at Gravesend, while McFlynn is on international duty with the Northern Ireland Under-21 squad.
