Club History

Dover Athletic was formed in 1983 after the dissolution of previous club, Dover, whose place in the Southern League was taken. They won the Southern League in 89-90 but failed to gain promotion to the Conference as the ground did not meet the required standard. They were promoted three seasons later after winning the title again, 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 Premier League title and gained promotion to Blue Square South.
