Chorley hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 23 points and a 24th position in the Vanarama National League table. Visiting Dover Athletic holds 15th place with 32 pts.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Fa Trophy match only four days ago. This match was also played here at The Chorley Group Victory Park Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Dover Athletic have had more rest.
