Marc White Readies Dorking Wanderers for National League South Season

Chairman‑manager Marc White addressed Dorking Wanderers in a pre‑season meeting, expressing frustration after a 1‑0 defeat to Dulwich Hamlet and urging the squad to focus on leadership and winning. He highlighted the club’s rapid rise through 12 promotions in 23 seasons and set the goal of reaching the English Football League.

White acknowledged the team’s chronic injury problems, which he said caused the club’s relegation from the National League in 2023‑24. He noted that five players remain sidelined ahead of the opening match against Dagenham & Redbridge at Meadowbank Stadium on August 8, but expects the squad to be stronger and fitter than in previous seasons.
