The Dart(s) Board

Pretty sure this will be a Hendon XI v Dartford Academy whites. I'm looking forward to it.

Spike I agree with most of what you say most of the time but on this occasion it’s a no Coulson was dealt a bad hand by the clown in being made captain as he is no way captain material. However , he was the captain and on my view he is as culpable for our appalling season as the clown is. Coulson d...

Apart from Tom Bonner we've had no potential club legends playing for the club these past few years. It's going to take more than next season to get back anything near to what we've lost. Personally, I think Steve King brought in some of the highest quality players we've ever had at our club. Admit...

So it's official, despite being an absolute crock of doodah all season, had we beaten just Eastbourne, that one win would have been enough to have avoided relegation. Such a small task and yet we couldn't manage even that. The squad assembled by Dowse was unbalanced, sub-standard, lacking in quality...

I think Kentc is referring to the rumours Truro have no ground confirmed for next season.

I didn't realise Truro were at risk.

If you want to get a perspective of how bad our season has been, it's a fact that Olly Box who has played barely a handful of games, is in with a chance of winning the forum's player of the season. Currently sitting on 5 man of the match awards, he is only one behind Luke Coulson on 6. With today's ...

As bloody awful as this season has been, the facts are that if we had beaten Eastbourne we would now be favourites to stay up. Just that one result would have meant that we would have been in control of our own destiny today and may even have survived losing today against Truro. Small margins eh? I...

I've heard more than a few "sack the board" comments which are inevitable when you have a stinker of a season like the one we've just had, but ironically the directors who get the most flack are the ones who are most well known and who probably do the most work at the club. It's not like t...

This thread is a great idea, but I agree with Taunton Dart that what we need to see here is the "constructive ideas" suggested in the title. We've all done our fair share of moaning this season, but what we are looking for here is ways to fix things. It was quite bold of the club to do the...

Also could under 16s or kids get cheaper rates on the coaches to away games? It may not be cost effective I understand that. As much as that would be great, the cost of hiring coaches has gone through the roof and they are outrageously expensive, hence the whopping fares increases this season. Mick...

I'll be gutted if that is true, I was hoping we'd get at least next season with Olly. The Dartford fans love him and I think he could make a real impact. It's not purely selfishness, long term I think it might benefit him to have a season long experience at non-league level. I wish him well in whate...

The way I see it, our most realistic chance of escaping the drop is at the expense of Dover, Havant, Taunton & Eastbourne and an outside chance of Dowse working his "magic" at Hemel and dragging them into the equation by losing their final two. Either way, we surely need 2 wins from 3 ...

Well here we are then, 3 games to go and thanks to Saturday's heroic efforts we've given ourselves a chance. Everyone played their part at Havant and if they can do it again tomorrow then I've no doubt we COULD get another win. I keep thinking it's over but we're still in there fighting and 2 wins f...

Without doubt the best performance of the season for me. Darts bossed the game throughout and it would have been a travesty not to have won the game. Both goalkeepers had excellent games but my MOTM once again was the effervescent Olly Box. If we're to have any chance of a last minute escape, this l...

In all honesty, I don't think it will make any difference.

If we were voting on the ratio of good performances to actual appearances then the only two players with consistently decent performances would be Sandford or Olly Box. They might have played far too few games to get serious votes, but they're the only two I can think of who could look back on their...

Whilst my head is aware that relegation is now inevitable, my heart insists on going to Havant on Saturday. It will inevitably be cold and rainy and no rational human being who witnessed the Eastbourne game would expect anything other than another failure, but I think I can rationalise my decision o...

Unusually, I have just watched the highlights. I believe that the challenge that put Block out of the match would normally have been worthy of a yellow card, but this ref and the linesman saw nothing wrong with it and no free kick was given. They also both saw nothing wrong with the blatent handbal...
