It's the manager's job to not get carried away, but as fans, if we can't get excited on days like this then what's the point of coming? I think we're entitled to milk the crap out of it and go full on mental as it's not very often that your team sticks 6 past your local rivals. Darts were absolutely magnificent today and had our forwards been a little more clinical in front of goal then we could so easily have reached double figures. Had we done so it might more accurately reflect the chasm in class between the two sides. That said, it would be easy to dismiss Welling as hopeless, but they managed a draw against Slough and a victory over 3rd place Concord in their most recent games so they are obviously capable of better. In my view, the bulk of the credit lies firmly with our squad for playing so well and simply overwhelming our hosts. Rottweiler Darts were at it right from the kick-off and simply didn't let go right until the final whistle. We were mesmerising at times, it was carnage out there. I felt sorry for the Welling fans and credit to them for not going home at half-time. Steve King has assembled something very special here and whilst nothing can be taken for granted, we are in with a massive shout.

MOTM is a tough one, I initially narrowed it down to about 12 players before finally opting for Noor.

Awesome!

Loads of superlatives there and justly so. Totally agree with LennyLenny in applauding the Welling supporters and staff. There are some good people at that club and they deserve better.

Feet firmly on the ground - it was a masterclass yesterday and should be celebrated. On now to much tougher games ahead!

At 73 but the memory not so good :cry: and after following the Darts for 68 years now I am struggling to remember many games that showed a
better all round performance than yesterdays one.
Perhaps a few from the Peter Taylor era and I understand that he was in the grandstand at yesterdays match
That very quick first goal had us wondering if we could get to the 5 or 6 we were possibly hoping for and we went on to make it 6 leaving us possibly a little disappointed as it should have been far more with the chances created and missed but lets not be ungrateful. :)
As others have commented full marks to the Welling fans for staying on to the end and remaining loyal.
How can you pick a M.O.M. from such a good team performance well like many others I have had to make a choice and gave it to Jernade Meade for his non stop running the full length of the pitch and the pace that he turns on creating numerous chances for us.
Well done to Steve King as well coming to salute the fans to the sides and behind the goal at the end.

Fantastic performance and result !
Just looking around and dodging the crumbling terraces at PVR makes you certainly appreciate what we have at PP. On a side note, does anyone know why the E&B bar was closed yesterday?

Have to give MOTM to Mark Goldberg for getting rid of SK

Yes we will have tougher games ahead and regardless of how good or bad Welling were that was a great performance and we should not underestimate how well we are playing and the quality of football we are producing.
We came out and went for them right from the start and scored so early they didn't know what had hit them. Other than a couple of chances Welling were never in it and we dominated the whole game and could easily have had more, six ain't bad though :D :D

As for Welling, they are in a real mess. Whilst i don't want them relegated i can't think of any club around our level run/owned by a single person where it ends well. It just goes to show the importance of a well run financially stable club and of course a manager who can assemble a great playing squad :D :D . No doubt there will be ups and downs along the way but i really do believe our club and Kingy have the potential for sustained long term success.

MOTM has got to be the hardest decision ever as you could make a case for virtually anyone such was the performance, so after a heavy night of celebrating will have to think some more on that.

I believe the attendance was given as just over a 1000 so i think it would be fair to say we outnumbered them. Our support was great yesterday so i hope everyone who went goes next week as i feel our support will be more important then. Last few tickets can be bought here:-

I overheard someone yesterday who said that Welling have stopped E&B from opening their bar when Welling are playing to try to increase their own revenue. When you are only averaging around 400 supporters for home matches you can kind of understand it. In previous years I would have expected a crowd of at least 1800 for a match against Dartford and to only manage just over a 1000 just shows how bad things are for Welling.

The couple that own the bar have moved on and sold it to someone else, that’s why the bar wasn’t open yesterday we was told.

Breathtaking football yesterday. At times was easily league one standard. Continue to be thoroughly impressed by Jernande Meade. I thought he, Husin and Azeez were the best of a sublime bunch.
Bit annoying we weren’t the only six nil, but slightly better result than Eastbourne since we were away.
Was trying to remember similar score lines after the final whistle, was Chipstead a 0-6 win?

Love Steve's attitude that at 3-0 half time, a lot of teams would have switched off comfortable ans seen out the game. He wanted more goals and was annoyed that we didn't get more than six. Lovely. :D

Just amazing how good we look just now. I've had good and bad days at Welling and never been a fan of theirs, but it's sad to see the damage they are suffering- their fans deserve better.
But for us that was one to treasure. A winner at the end of a hard fought match is always a better scenario but turning on the style in a derby is a great feeling, especially when you score six

Feet on the ground - there are much tougher teams to beat out there, but playing like that we'll take some stopping.

I don’t think this is the only ‘six’ we’re gonna get this season. After that, some are gonna be crapping themselves. The sheer sight of Ade up front is enough to make knees wobble!

We was having that conversation ourselves during the match as the scoreboard was ticking over. In terms of league matches, I remember a midweek trip to Bedworth when we ran out 6-0 winners with Mark Keen grabbing four. And then there was a 7-0 home win over Redditch with both these victories during Peter Taylor’s immensely entertaining period at the helm. Rather ironic that Peter was there yesterday mulling over the poisoned chalice that is managing Welling United with Mark Goldberg overseeing your every move!

A 14-2 final score wouldn’t have been an unfair reflection on the chances created by both sides. That was mighty fine fare served up by the Darts, although I was a little bemused when the reporter at the match for the Non League Paper gave it a 3 star entertainment rating out of 5. Presumably he prefers stamp collecting as his Saturday afternoon pastime?

Ok we was told this by the Welling operations manager, and the bar was owned by a guy called Alex or Arron can’t remember the name.

Personally I am very happy to put them in their place and don't have much empathy for them .It was not that long ago they were sneering down their noses at us thinking they were such a bigger club . Remember when they wanted Jamie Day and did not see why they should pay the likes of us for his services even though he was under contract with is . They announced his signing b4 even making any contact with us and accused us of holding him back from a big step up in his career because we demand a fee ! Screw em !

Has there even been anything like a 6-0 score-line (either way) in matches between Dartford and Welling in the past?

As for the reporter from the Non League Paper - perhaps he was making a score of 3 on the basis that the match was so one-sided it was difficult to give points for entertainment for a contest.......
