Dover Athletic chairman Jim Parmenter has slammed Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew after their FA Cup defeat.

Palace beat Dover 4-0 in a convincing display on the south-east coast and now face the prospect of a fourth round trip to either Southampton or Ipswich.

Dover chief Parmenter said you could 'crawl up the hill in a couple of minutes' and took exception to the 53-year-old's attitude once inside the Crabble Athletic Ground. He rubbished Pardew's claims his team were forced to walk twenty minutes to the ground after the team bus pulled up short.

"It's complete arrogance for him to expect us to make special arrangements just because it's him," Parmenter told The Sun.

"I don't know what Pardew was doing for 20 minutes - you can crawl up there on all fours in a couple of minutes."

Parmenter added that the former Newcastle manager was 'rude' to Dover staff.
