Re: Yeovil Town v Dartford Sat 13 Apr 2024

Amongst the shambles of the late season games one player has stood out as as class act and he should be aware of the thanks from Darts fans for his performances and effort and I feel sure that IF he can carry on with his current potential he will become a Football League Player , credit to Adie for ...

Re: Yeovil Town v Dartford Sat 13 Apr 2024

My final thoughts on The Darts in the NLS as my interests now lie in whats going to happen next season which will determine whether Ade Pennock is the man to get us promoted and depend on how ruthless he is with the current squad and bringing in their replacements , promoting the best of our Academy...

Re: News from around the National League South

Re: The state of Dartford football club

In my post I stressed that any incoming CEO/Chairman would have a target and of course thats performance rated, nobody with only half a brain cell would offer a starter salary anywhere near £100k but there is so much hidden potential on ways to bring money in , inhouse catering , music concerts ,spo...

Re: The state of Dartford football club

The Club now needs a Chairman who lives locally and is very hands on so as to plan and drive the Club onto bigger and better things . In no way am I disrespecting the terrific job that Dave Skinner and Steve Irving but the facts are that with the sad passing of Dave and Steve now residing in the Lak...

Re: Dartford v Worthing Tue 9 Apr 2024

I quite like the idea that IF we are relegated before the last game [ Truro at home ] then play the best of the very successful Academy side which could mean a starting 11 of the following x = Academy lad Wray X X Nelson X Shomotun Allen [if fit] Rooney Coulson X Box On the Bench : 5 Academy lads Re...

Re: Dartford v Eastbourne Borough Mon 1 Apr 2024

Just noticed that Jordan Wynter got MOTM , incredible , they were ALL pretty dire but he sits in front of the back 4 , hardly breaks sweat, doesnt tackle , only passed safe balls sideways or back and all season has been full of mistakes , I can only assume Wynters family or friends sponsored the mat...

Whilst I agree with the previous posts I dont agree with the criticism of Ady as he [ as we all know] inherited a " croc of s..t] with little time to really make a difference and providing he stays for Ryman football there is no reason as to why he doesnt have a good chance of doing well next s...

Re: Dartford v Eastbourne Borough Mon 1 Apr 2024

Rooney and Block are 2 of the 4 I would keep for the Isthmian League but I doubt they would sign as they are NLS standard, the other 2 are v good potential , [ no reason to believe/loyalty would / should come into it ?] Over the 65 mins I toughed it out , Rooney was my MOTM but Block did play very w...

Re: Dartford v Eastbourne Borough Mon 1 Apr 2024

Whilst only a novice in terms of supporting the Darts [25 years +] I left for the 1st time ever today as its just not worth watching a load of dross and I really hope that at the end of the season only 4 of the current squad stay and the rest depart never to be seen again !!!!
