New-look Dover will begin their new National League campaign with a testing trip to newly-relegated Hartlepool United on the season's opening day.

Chris Kinnear is in the process of a total rebuild at Crabble with keeper Mitch Walker the only player set to figure in the starting XI of the first game of this season who also featured in the final game of the last campaign at Barrow.

After the long trip to the north east to take on former skipper Nicky Deverdics at Victoria Park on Saturday, August 5, Dover return home to welcome Kent rivals Bromley on Tuesday, August 8.

They face a hotly-anticipated clash with old foes Ebbsfleet on Bank Holiday Monday, August 28, with Sam Magri set to make his return to Crabble with his newly-promoted side.

Maidstone visit the coast on Boxing Day, with the return trip to the Gallagher on New Year's Day while newly-relegated big-guns Leyton Orient are due in town on Saturday, March 3, with Whites due to travel to Brisbane Road on November 18.

The away game at Ebbsfleet is on Easter Monday, April 2, while Gateshead are the opponents in Dover's last home game on Saturday, April 21, with the season finale at Woking seven days later.
