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.......
Exactly what I was going to say but Taunton beat me to it. For the neutral there was no excitement as a contest.
I am so enjoying this football orchestrated by SK, and to think he was in Welling's hands just two seasons ago, at least we have something to thank Goldberg for. But like others, I don't like to see local rivals fall away.
The more I see of Jernaide Meade the more I admire his awareness, running, skills and style of play, it's always the goalscorers that grab the attention and headlines, but for me Jernaide is my current unsung hero.
Roll on Saturday, COYD

Skip, Mikey and Taunton Dart I’ve just done some digging and the 6-0 win was…
Our biggest score v Welling (it beat the 4-0 at home on 31/12/83 and 4-0 away on 1/1/20)
Our biggest away win since the 6-0 v Clevedon in 1997. That Chipstead game was 6-1.
Our biggest win home or away since the 7-1 v Oxford City on 19.8.17 when Warren Mfula scored 4

One thing I was thinking was is Azeez’s start as a Dartford player been better than Cody McDonald’s? Not sure any one else is up there in terms of goals from their opening games for the club since Princes Park opened. I’m sure some supporters will remember a few names pre Princes Park!

Azeez 8 (7+1 apps) games & 9 goals (6 league, 3 cup)

Looking at my online archives

McDonald 20 (17+3 apps) & 19 goals (12 league, 7 cup) and after his first 8 apps = 12 goals

Cheers Rick. Let’s hope we keep Azeez for a lot longer and no one comes sniffing! Although saying that I was well chuffed for Cody when he earned his big move and with those numbers he deserved it.

Cheers Stu, I had been looking over 'PAM' and noted most games against welling were KSC, as we made our way back up the pyramid. What dedicated staff and fans we have to thank for our position today. Recall going to Deal, our first game back after reforming, 1993-1994 was when my love affair really started (except for a couple of watling street games prior). This is going to be an enjoyable season of football, but as others have said the team will need to keep on pushing themselves, but we "keep the faith" in Kingy and co.

I'm not one to gloat over any club going belly up or getting demoted/relegated.
I remember where I was when I heard that DFC met it's demise. My heart sank into my belly. I think I was at Park View as we didn't have a ground and then we didn't have a team.
Wouldn't wish that on any club or supporter.
But if the guy who owns Welling walks away I can see that happening. Goldberg, isn't it?
Blimey, I felt bad at Nuneaton when we were finally relegated out of the National Premier (Gonzola/Appliance). The crowd cheering at our demise. :(
Long trip home.

Agreed - I would not want to see Welling relegated or worse. Many years ago I will admit to watching their games when the Darts didn't have a game. Just about remember Bexley United going under and Welling were able to migrate from park to Park View. Of course if the worst does happen to them it would be tragic for players and supporters, but of course there is also the impact on E&B to consider.

I also remember seeing that last game at PVR before we went under so would not wish that on any club.

Nah, I don’t want to see any Kent club relegated or go under. I’d be more than happy with them all in the same division with us at the top or thereabouts. A bit like now really. 😂

Over the years I have watched a lot of football at Bus Stop FC - especially watching matches when they first moved to Park View Road with players like John Bartley, Nigel Ransome, Tony Agana and Andy Townsend amongst others. I was also the first ever fourth official for a Conference match there when Welling played Kettering Town in the opening match of the season - with Kettering as defending Conference champions. I even remember the days when they got crowds of over 2,000 at games, one of which was against Bath City. It is with sadness that I see their current plight - but that does not diminish the pleasure of having the Mighty Darts trounce them 6-0.

As to the ground I assume that it is still owned by Bexley Council - so therefore would assume that Erith & Belvedere would be safe no matter what happens to Welling

Hey PL, did you remember where you parked your car? It must have been all that dazzling football that somehow clouded your brain. :lol:

What a performance that was, let's enjoy the moment as days like that don't come along too often.

That was the problem mate, i didn't drive so indulged in the local beverages but did eventually locate my lift :lol: :lol: :lol:

Looking back at the highlights it was a good reminder of how many chances we created and how well we played.

I get that they were outclassed, but the speed and urgency in attack was superb and we not only outplayed them, we out thought them. Lovely stuff. can't wait for Saturday. :D

Question? Are those highlights compiled by the home team? If so then that match was 99% Darts domination.
Spotted just one 'concern', and if Reg is reading this, this should get him firing on all keyboards. Each half ended with Welling in our penalty box? Is this a weakness that SK can work on? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Those highlights were from our club, been awaiting their highlights, maybe due to embarrassment they accidently wiped the footage!
