Dover Athletic manager Mitch Brundle hopes exciting style of play ensures fans have a ball each time they visit Crabble

Mitch Brundle reckons the style of play he’s implementing at Dover should attract fans to Crabble.

Whites are at home for a second successive weekend this Saturday as they host promotion-chasing Chelmsford in National League South.
