Dover Athletic will open their Blue Square South season with a home game against Farnborough on Saturday, August 18.

It will give Nicky Forster's side an early chance to end the "home hoodoo" which ruined their play-off chances last season, when Dover lost their final four games at Crabble.

Whites will then travel to Sutton United on Tuesday, August 21 before another away game on Saturday August 25 at AFC Hornchurch, who were promoted from the Ryman League Premier Division last season.

Dover's first Kent derby will be an away game at Welling United on October 2, while Whites will travel to meet Tonbridge Angels on Boxing Day. The return game against Tommy Warrilow's side will be at Crabble on New Year's Day.

The home game against Welling will be on February 9, while Whites' two matches with Bromley will be on January 19 (home) and April 27 (away), their final game of the season.
