The Dart(s) Board

My old club, Bracknell Town, have brought in a football consultant to look at ways of improving match day experience for fans. Just saying!

Disappointed, to say the least. I felt that our first win in a while was just around the corner, especially after Saturdays second half at Bath, starting last night. Woeful second half and should have been one or two to the good at HT. credit Chippenham for some “bodies on the line” defending. TB an...

The Board and Managers have stated that they dont read the forum presumably cause they believe [ and are correct] that there is some dross posted BUT a lot of posts are from Guys known to the Board that have followed the Darts [ through good and bad] for up to 70 years and their posts are genuine a...

We can all be Board Directors and First Team manager in our heads and speak as such through this channel. What we have is what we have at present and I’m sure the Board with TB and coaches will do whatever’s necessary and whenever necessary without the constant criticism of some on here. In my opin...

I thought the keeper should have gone. A very lucky man I think that had Alex Wall been in control of the ball and he was denied a goal scoring opportunity it may have been a different outcome but I don't think that was the case. The ref should not have stopped the game as, after Wall had been bund...

We WILL NOT be relegated, absolutely no fear of that! As for the squad, we’ve been talking of shortfalls, gaps and weaknesses all season and that is down to one departed individual. Let’s not criticise the players we have, they give of their best each game and will become motivated to do what’s nece...

One thing I forgot to mention there were 1063 through the gate today and I believe that’s at least 100 more than would have been had dowse been in charge It’s possible that the extra numbers put £500/£1000 into the coffers today You can’t fix something overnight but that’s a start , I hope the Boar...

I reckon he might be up for another long term go at it??

…Maybe with a plan to have somebody work alongside him, preparing that person to take on the role allowing TB to move back upstairs - perhaps!

There’ll be no shortage of interest!

Sorry pal, that is just a ridiculous statement.

Had to be done! Absolutely no criticism from me of Dowse as a person, he was a decent, hard-working bloke. At the end of the day fans opinions have been heard and the Board, who like us are fans, made a difficult but correct decision for the right reasons and for the good of the club. Very well-writ...

I didn’t say it was coincidence, rather more than coincidence given the frequency!

This conceding late goals business, surely, cannot still be regarded as mere coincidence. It’s now developed into a very worrying TREND. Trends can be designed out. By the manager. He manages players’ attitudes. Dowse clearly (based on evidence) can’t deal with it. What happened to ‘game management...

Thank you Matt85. You’re right, some of the stuff isn’t Dowse’s fault. I’ll repeat - the players have to take some responsibility! It isn’t Dowse that puts them out onto the pitch to concede goals late in a game either - but, whilst challenging, something can be done to rectify this and it requires ...

Well my first game since Taunton away. I was expecting a much more boring afternoon of attritional football than I got. I enjoyed the game and was surprised to see Dartford playing it around quite a bit. Weston started strongly and should have taken the lead when they had a golden chance that bounc...

Rebuild the club? It wasn’t broken before you and your mate turned up, and you can’t rebuild a club with loan players. Let’s face it as a coaching team you have no idea how to coach or obtain players Maybe Mr Tyler is suggesting that the squad they’ve assembled this season is broken and needs re-bu...

Just listened to Dowse’s interview with BBC Kent and picking up on the point he makes about not being able to get onto the facilities (I assume training pitch) when he wants to sometimes. Surely this can’t be right or acceptable. Probably in defence of Dowse here, if the first team want to train th...
