RESPECT TO THE 'DOVER 22' AND THE GREEN ARMY AT THE TOON

The Cold End salutes the 22 very loyal Dover Athletic supporters who made the 650ish mile round trip to watch their match in the FA Trophy at Fleetwood Town. The travelling fans from the Garden of England were rewarded with a 0-1 win, Fleetwood's first home defeat since the 3rd March 2009.

The Green Army of Plymouth Argyle can top that journey tonight with their trip to St James Park to play Newcastle United. When they get home to Devon sometime in the early hours of Thursday they would of travelled an incredible 800+ mile round trip to support their team in the FA Cup 3rd Round replay.

Both sets of supporters are truly fantastic travelling these distances firstly in midweek and secondly in the horrible weather conditions. True dedication from proper football fans!!!
