Gillingham manager Andy Hessenthaler is expecting a backlash from Dover fans on Saturday.

Hessenthaler achieved two promotions in three years at Crabble and left them with a side which is now challenging for promotion into the top level of non-league football.

Some Dover fans, however, have not forgiven him and his management team for leaving for Gillingham in the summer.

Hessenthaler (pictured) said: "I loved the three years I spent there. I’m sure people now are saying I should have stayed but I had an opportunity to come back into league football and I took it.

"It would hurt a bit (to get abuse) and it would hurt my family but you have to have thick skin and broad shoulders."
