Taken from BBC Humberside's Twitter feed:

#gtfc say they've agreed re-arranged fixtures at Eastleigh & Dover for Tuesday 27th January & Tuesday 3rd February respectively (both 7.45)

Credit to anyone who attends those games, 2 long treks for a Tuesday a night.

I along with my daughter ordered the flight from Sweden and car rentals and hotels in Dover from sunday. Expensive weekend. Suggestions on what we should do? Other football game. :( :(

Jump on a ferry to Calais for some cheap booze,you can then sell it at Swedish prices when you go home,that would help towards your expensive weekend. ;).

I know it's a few years ago that I sampled the Swedish booze prices but it would have been cheaper to charter a plane to fly a suitcase full of bootleg beer there in those days and you would still have made a profit,don't know what their prices are like now.(friends).

I was going to Dover when it was a sunday game,

My driver will be working on a Tuesday so I doubt if we will have time to get there now.

What's the betting the weather wipes one or more of them out?

I'd go and watch an FA Cup game if I was you. Could try to get tickets for Dover vs Palace or failing that there's quite a few London teams at home - Arsenal, Chelsea, Charlton, Brentford, Fulham, Millwall, QPR. Will be able to get tickets for all of those I'd have thought. There will be plenty of room in the away end at the Emirates!

Off the football theme, Dover castle is worth a visit - on the site there are fortifications from medieval right up to World War II. There's a lot more to explore than the last time I went - they've opened up some of the tunnels and underground bunkers and done mock-ups of how they were used.

Canterbury isn't far if you like quaint old cathedral cities (and shopping). Deal and Walmer just up the coast from Dover have 16th century forts. Head a bit further up the coast and you have Broadstairs which has a lot of fine old buildings too.

If you like shellfish, Whitstable is good for oysters. There used to be some good pubs there (and in Canterbury) when I lived there in the 80s. I think the Millers Arms in Canterbury is still probably good for ales, a roaring open fire and a bit of basic pub grub. There's a couple of theatres too if that floats your boat.

From last night's question time, think Canterbury seems anything but quaint nowadays?  ::)

I knew someone from down that part of the world and they always recommended a trip on the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch railway

Not everyone's cup of tea maybe but might be a nice way to view the local area
