Re: John Ripley - RIP


Very sad news indeed.

I was lucky enough to know "Rip" very well, and l couldn't believe my luck when he agreed to manage the Sunday League team I ran... the mighty Southfleet Rams. :) 0 The most successful five years for the club were under his management.

A lovely guy and still a cracking ...

How the mighty have fallen!!
It might be a drop down the leagues but I would have him back at any time
Around 100 goals a season from the team when he was with us and he missed few penalties if any, well rehearsed free kicks and corners meant we never knew what was going to happen ...

Re: DFC playoffs since NLP

My favourite format is a 2 legged semi and a final at the highest placed team as was the case in 2012 when we beat Basingstoke 3-1 on agg (1-0 A and 2-1 H) and then Welling in the final. Would be interesting if the stats support the highest placed team achieving promotion more often than not?

Excellent news about the season ticket holders receiving a call from the club to ensure they have a ticket. Suggest the Isthmian League leave well alone in future…🙄

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

Matt, I think the original capacity was set at 4063. Since then we now allow people to stand on the walkway barrier around the terracing. That probably adds 500 minimum to capacity so the club could give access to those season ticket holders without a ticket, if it so desired, without impacting ...

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

I suggest the club contact ALL season ticket holders pronto; by phone, by email and ask them if they have their match ticket. If not, take their name and arrange access via the reception entrance on match day. Can’t be more than 50-100 season ticket holders that potentially missed out. Stuff the ...

Re: Dartford v Dover Athletic Fri 18 Apr 2025

Coming up for this one and looking forward to seeing a good, old Kent derby. During TBs reign we often got the better of our east Kent neighbours and I’m hoping for much the same this time. Although my DFC record isn’t great this season having only made Potters Bar (0-1) and Chichester (0-0) so ...

Re: Ray Cherry - Sonytino - RIP

I think Ray provided some of the earliest match highlights for supporters to enjoy. A very unassuming, quietly spoken and decent fella. Another one joins the terraces up above.

RIP Sonytino.

Re: Dartford v Billericay Town Sat 25 Jan 2025



Agreed Kentc, but let's not forget that the team that started Saturday were pretty well what Pennock put out at the start of the season. Some on here said they weren't good enough.
But fair play to him that he stuck with them all, yes he bought players in and quickly cleared them out again ...

I’ll check on Nobes tonight at the Brentwood v Bury Town IL North clash. Noticed he’s been picking up his usual number of MotM awards. Oh, and the odd booking, too. 😁

It comes to us all, M1. Starts with the hearing and works it way down. If you’re really unlucky everything goes kaput from the ground up.
