Dover Athletic - A New Era

[hansmafia15]

Dover Athletic Football Club is an association football team based in the town of Dover, Kent, England. The club was formed in 1983 after the dissolution of the town's previous club, Dover, whose place in the Southern League was taken by the new club. In the 1989–90 season, Dover Athletic won the Southern League championship, but failed to gain promotion to the Football Conference as the club's ground did not meet the required standard. Three seasons later the team won this title again and this time gained promotion to the Conference, where they spent nine seasons before being relegated. In April 2008 the club won the championship of Division One South and with it promotion to the Isthmian League Premier Division. The following season Dover won the championship of this division and gained promotion to Conference South.

NEWS
Manager Andy Hessenthaler has been sacked due to undisclosed reasons. With the managerial job open, amateur managers are racing to fill the position. After much consideration, club chairman Jim Parmenter has chosen the young Hans Adams as the new manager for the 2009/2010 season in the Blue Square South. The board believe in Hans Adams and expect him to go for the promotion to the Blue Square Premier. Hans Adams is eager to be managing his first club and will do his best for promotion this year.
