Presumably the missing ‘first teamers’ didn’t want to offer their services?

Re: News from around the National League South

Also, when will there be some uniformity across the board with the different leagues over the docking of points? Re playing of ineligible players Mickleover -12 points. Harborough -6 points Torquay -1. I get it may have been because of the severity of the misdemeanor but it could have made a hell o...

Re: CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS

Re: CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS

There is one thing Park Life that I would like clarity on. It is mentioned now and again that if special offers or free entry is made on ticket entry the loss of money can be offset with extra bar and food sales I would like to know what the deal is with the catering deal. Do we get a rent irrespec...

Re: CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS

I have long thought that DFC are missing a bit of a trick and potential income that other clubs are cashing in on and have a few questions? 1. Why is the club shop now outside of the ground and only visible if you walk past that way? It used to have doors to the inside and outside of the ground mak...

Re: CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS

Ideas - a reserve/U23's team playing in a competitive league, (not a reserve league) it may bridge the gap for the talented current U18 team who have just won their league. Players/manager to acknowledge fans at the end of the game, whatever the result. Free season ticket for U16's. Free entry for ...

Re: CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS

Unfortunately so many of our older supporters have passed away in recent years, some whom used to undertake voluntary activities to help the club. These haven’t been replaced and we have sadly neglected enticing younger support to fill the void on the terraces. So, whilst we can suggest actions for ...

Re: News from around the National League South

Especially as Hemel's last game (their only one) is away at Taunton! Torquay do have the potential saving grace that their last game is at home to Havant and Waterlooville. Thinking of going to Taunton next Saturday to cheer Dowse on to a double success!!! LOL Is that match actually being played at...

I don’t think Hemel or Torquay are out of the equation either, Kent.

Re: Yeovil Town v Dartford Sat 13 Apr 2024

Yeovil is the most desolate place I have ever visited. Well done to them for winning the league. Was hoping to find a town vibrant with celebration, instead it was like 2020. Whatever happens tomorrow, it would be nice to see a few people celebrating around this boarded-up void of despair which mak...

Re: Player news

I sent Ebou a message on Twitter 5-6 or years back mentioning that he still maintained a photo of his days in the DFC academy on his Twitter page. Said he never forgets his roots and always looks out for the Darts results. I remember TB saying what a lovely fella he was. We certainly could do with a...

Re: The state of Dartford football club

An interesting Twitter post of the benefits that small town Needham Market has derived from its very successful academy system. Needham Market will swap places in the pyramid with Dartford at the season’s end. Whilst we have a thriving academy set up ourselves we hopefully aren’t too big to learn fr...

Re: Dartford v Worthing Tue 9 Apr 2024

Nice to get to the game last night; only my fifth this season plus a couple on the NLTV. It looked like The Darts might get something from the game but once again an individual error cost the team points. That has been the feature in all the other games I’ve witnessed and has been mentioned by just ...

Re: Pre Season Friendlies

Irrespective of what league we are in next season I would like to suggest that only one home game is arranged for purposes of income. The other games home and away should be selected to give us a chance of scoring some goals and winning games. This seasons pre season games set the rot in and ruined...

Re: Havant & Waterlooville v Dartford Sat 6 Apr 2024

I would imagine they might target certain games that they think they can win from tonight 8 home games in a row. I would have thought Torquay at home on Monday for certain. Truro win tonight and that one and it’s pretty much guaranteed another season in the NLS for them. And if they beat Torquay th...

Bloody huge win, they say it's the hope that kills you and after Monday I had none, today they've given me the slightest. A shame Eastbourne won, hopefully Welling hold on against Torquay and they could get dragged into this Torquay definitely in it now. If we win game in hand then only 3points beh...

Re: Dartford v Eastbourne Borough Mon 1 Apr 2024

As frustrating as it is, gamesmanship is part of the game and if we were smart enough to use it we wouldn't have thrown away as many leads/points as we did in the first half of the season. I have to agree. If we can't be good, we could at least have been a bit nastier. We look so naive at times and...
