What lies ahead!?

Signs so far are very promising for the new season. Absolutely delighted that Ady continues as manager and delighted with the retained list. I’m missing it like hell already. Bought a season ticket and can’t wait for the new season and all that comes with it. Some new grounds for me and more away da...

Re: Budget

Nobody knows what the budget is, nor should they outside the Board and management team. Ady did superbly well to achieve 3rd with many home grown players without splashing out as previous managers have done at this club and others simply to achieve nothing. Classic example - Folkestone last year!

Re: Play off Final - Dartford v Dover Athletic Mon 5 May 2025

What will be will be. Just come up short at the end of it but great season. Thank you all - let’s make 2025-26 one to remember. Sadly I don’t feel the same … we should never have relegated last season and to fail to come straight back up is ……….being honest …..is very poor. We are Dartford FC remem...

Re: Play off Final - Dartford v Dover Athletic Mon 5 May 2025

I am a regular home and away supporter and ST holder and bought a ticket online as soon as they went on sale at 6pm on Thursday. I would have struggled to get to the ground to buy a ticket in person as I live an hours drive away from PP (though I’m sure friends would have helped me out). It is absol...

In the words of the song by the Lottery Winners, “(Get up and) Start Again”. I, for one, cannot criticise this team that have been superb this season based on their season-end finish in the League. Great work and I have every faith in the lads putting on a display to win the game on Wednesday. One g...

Re: Cray Wanderers v Dartford Mon 21 Apr 2025

To the point 1/ Fair play to cray and their new ground. Will always be grateful to them for the loan of Oxford Road 2/ in terms of form or “bottling it” no chance we were poor for 2 months and have been magnificent since….today always had the feel of being a tricky game 3/ whoever tops the league c...

Re: Cray Wanderers v Dartford Mon 21 Apr 2025

If Michael was booked in the first half incident when the ref has his card out of his pocket in the vicinity of Josh Hill, I believe that it deserves closer inspection. The Cray player went down in a challenge with Michael. The ref played an advantage as the ball broke to the Cray winger. We then w...

Re: Dartford v Dover Athletic Fri 18 Apr 2025

A fantastic battling performance from the boys today with everyone giving 100% as expected, my man of the match went to Josh Hill who was solid all game and chipped in with a goal. Just 2 more cup finals to go where yet again we need everyone on their game and giving 110% in both games to gain thos...

Re: Whitehawk v Dartford Sat 12 Apr 2025

Won it tough, though they didn’t really threaten!
Awful place, hopefully no need to go back there in a hurry.
Absolutely shite match officials again!

Anyway, we won, another 3 points on the board. Do we have 3 more big performances left in us.

Re: Dartford v Folkestone Invicta Sat 5 Apr 2025

…and how poorly were Folkestone supported, for a Kent derby as well. Credit to those that turned up but given the very sparse numbers on show you’d have thought they’d have to travel beyond the moon to the game! Probably a reflection on how poorly their season has gone despite a huge wage bill on sc...

Re: Dartford v Folkestone Invicta Sat 5 Apr 2025

…and a word from me on the referee and his team. Totally out of their depth imho. Hardly saw anything throughout except the absolutely obvious fouls. Credit where it’s due though, and as gutting g as it was, very brave of the Lino to flag our 99th minute goal offside in a very crowded six yard box w...

Re: Dartford v Folkestone Invicta Sat 5 Apr 2025

An important point that I, like many, would have settled for at half time. So very disappointed that Folkestone saw fit to employ the sort of tactics that put them right up there with the likes of Hungerford back in the NLS (remember?) If only we could find a winner in those hectic last few minutes,...

Re: Isthmian Premier League News

Farnham Town were confirmed as Isthmian League South Central Division champions last night, their second consecutive promotion, after thrashing Rayners Lane 6-0. The win left them 21 points clear of their nearest rivals with 6 matches to play and should see them play in the Isthmian Premier League ...
