Re: RIP Dave Skinner

So sorry to hear this sad news.
Dave used to make cameo appearances for a youth club football team I ran in Horton Kirby when we were both younger men.
Rest in peace Dave, wherever you maybe.

Re: Change of admission 20/03/2024

Given the number of yoof at the last 2 Maidstone games I thought the rule had been relaxed already.

Re: Kent Senior Cup semi-final Dartford v Maidstone Tue 19 Mar 2024

Proud of the lads tonight they put in a first class shift all over the pitch. Ade must be well chuffed - if he can get that sort of performance on a regular basis we will get ourselves out of trouble. Maidstone lucky again tonight getting a very iffy penalty. Looking forward with more confidence aft...

Re: Dartford v Maidstone Utd Sat 16 Mar 2024

Interesting that a number of 'the youth'' turned up yesterday, positioning themselves where they could cause most mischief methinks.
Those that call for a more ambitious approach from the board should be pleased - maybe if we segregated all games the youth would become a regular feature?

Re: Dartford v Maidstone Utd Sat 16 Mar 2024

It's pretty much all been said but in the first half we came so close to scoring I thought it might be our day. I see a team working hard and really putting in a shift but we need a.bit of luck or extra quality to turn the good play we achieve into goals. If and when that happens we may see a team t...

Re: Dartford Players of The Past

I have a copy of recently published Tommy Sampson's biography - From The Den to Wembley - if anyone would like it. Not a bad read.
I can bring it to the next home game.

Re: News from around the National League South

Todays results went quite well for us - Dover, Eastbourne and Taunton losing and Welling only getting a draw.
If they all continue like that we should be OK!

Re: Dartford v Aveley - Tue 27 Feb 2024

On another note it was really good to meet up with many old mates and acquaintances during the evening. Shame it didn’t coincide with Pete Samson’s visit. I’m not sure my appearance contributed to the downward spiral in the club’s season although a couple of posters obviously have a different view ...

Re: Dartford v Aveley - Tue 27 Feb 2024

One nil up and the game under control - Aveley not really at the races then Rooney goes off injured and with no spare central defender we have to change shape. We looked like a team who had never contemplated being in that position and lost all momentum. None of the subs improved our position. The o...

Re: Ex-player? -Brian Fayers

Yes he did - 1968- 69 amateur centre forward aged 26 from Tilbury.
In 69-70 he became manager of East Thurrock.

Re: Dartford v Taunton Town Sat 24 Feb 2024

We got just about what deserved. The ref was something else but not the reason we didn't do better. One point is better than no points and might be key at the end of the season. Was Box injured? If not it was a shocking act of omission but if he was only to play some part he should have come.on earl...

This is a response to all those who criticise the board for not doing enough to get more support fir the club - Come and see our star before he leaves for the big time.

I agree - Manny needs a run - I would have had him ahead if Rooney at centre half.
