Margate welcome Carshalton Athletic for another interesting Non League Premier: Isthmian fixture here at Hartsdown Park.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a FA Cup match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Hayes & Yeading United, was also a home game here at Hartsdown Park. The away team is better rested.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Carshalton Athletic have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 11-10-14 (win-draw-loss) from 35 matches.
