Anyone else would walk it with that money not bottle it every year

Yes we have lots of money and I bet you wish you had it too.
If winning by 20 points isn’t walking it I don’t know what is and if winning the league with 4 weeks to go is bottleling it again I’m very confused.
Anyway good luck next season in what is going to be a very tough league to get of because with your record of failure you are going to need it.

I was wondering myself John. ;) I'm happy that he adopted my name for that crowd. But you must admire him for taking the time to come on here. Things are either very slow on the other crowds forum or he has an out and out dislike for us. I fancy the latter.
For myself I hope that they do well in the NL and continue playing Solly out from the back. As Dowse demonstrated with the demolition of the other crowd over the Christmas period, even a 2nd rate set up like ours can wipe the board with them if you have a half decent manager. Although I don't think Wall could have put a ball across the goalmouth to the on rushing Carruthers quite as good as Solly.
I for one are quite happy to see the back of them.
Yes, we lost in the play-offs AGAIN, but more than a few thought we had over-achieved. Whether you are a true Gravesend & Northfleet supporter or not I think that most clubs in the NLS had them down for promotion. So it was not a surprise that they won the league, but you must admit DFC certainly gave you a wake up call. Same Old Dartford. Love it :D

Should I be encouraged that sticky back Coulson was still on the board behind Dowse during his latest interview. Although e was tilted over, so half in half out maybe 😂😂😂

I think it is closer to being £16 million in debt and they haven’t paid for the new stand yet.

Cash rich maybe but debt heavy!

Yeah the one they will pull down that’s not paid for when they turn the pitch around….

We’ve signed Rooney…Paul Rooney that is. Was at Havant last season.

Welcome!

Looks like Dowse intends to use him in midfield. Can't say I know much about him, but I've said it many times midfield is an area we have been struggling in for a number of seasons now so I am pleased with this signing.

Dowse said this on his new arrival “I have been chasing this lad for a long time. So I am pleased we could get it done. He will put steel and determination into the midfield. Something we were lacking at times next season.”


Welcome Paul.

Wall signs for another season. A fit Wall is firing on all cylinders. Let’s hope we see that side to him.

Just had a quick look at a video of Rooney and he will definitely add a physical presence to the team. He seems confident running with the ball from midfield and a decent passer of the ball. Warm welcome Paul

If Wall can stay fit then he can still play a crucial role.

Competition between Him/Lewis/Harvey will hopefully benefit them all. I'd be surprised if we saw anymore strikers sign.

A little surprised with this one, I thought Alex may have been released. Hopefully he can stay fit this season and may possibly work well with Harvey.

I guess with Alex, Harvey & Lewis as our strikers things may not be looking quite so good for Charlie. I really hope I’m wrong as Sheringham would’ve been a quality player to keep & is the one player that talks to & encourages the younger players but will also give a bollocking when needed.
He’s the one Dowse said opens his mouth and has a lot to say in the dressing room which is what Dowse wanted.
