Dartford Football Club prides itself on being a community club with its fan base made up of all different demographics. Whilst it was necessary to take action over the minority that were not adhering to the Club’s principles, it is noticeable that there have not been many issues of late. Consequently, the Club will trial for the remainder of the season lifting the requirement for Youths (age 13-17) to either be accompanied by an adult or be a member of the Youth Membership Scheme. We look forward to welcoming all the Youth in the locality to Princes Park free of charge to make some noise and show their support during our last 4 home fixtures alongside new amended admission prices for all age groups. We want as many people as possible to come and get behind the players in the last few home games to try and get the wins we require.

I am making an effort for this one, even though it's for a lost cause. May not see NLS football for a while unless of course Chatham get promoted and have a tasty fixture.
Isthmian league it is and am hoping AP is good for sorting things out next season, because it definitely needs sorting.

DFC should be making every effort to win this. Should Taunton lose against WSM tonight then fail to beat Hemel on Saturday, three points would see us finish 21st and in with a slim chance of a reprieve if Truro are (rightfully) kicked out of the National League for having no ground.
All ifs and maybes, but there is nothing to be gained by rolling over and capitulating any further.

To expect the players to beat their personal best by winning two games in a row this year is asking a lot.
Re: Dartford v Truro City Sat 20 Apr 2024
Rallying call from Ade for the the team to finish with pride and 3pts , bit difficult to get excited about the vast majority of them who havent performed all season and to bother in a meaningless last game , I'M going really to see the fans for a last craic till July [ preseason] and in the vain hope that a few of the Academy lads will get a run out against Truro !!!!!!!!!!
Re: Dartford v Truro City Sat 20 Apr 2024
As bloody awful as this season has been, the facts are that if we had beaten Eastbourne we would now be favourites to stay up. Just that one result would have meant that we would have been in control of our own destiny today and may even have survived losing today against Truro. Small margins eh?

If there’s anyone on here that would, ordinarily, avoid ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ it’s YOU, Spike, with your sensible and polite reasoning. Just about everything conspired to try to save us during the very long run-in with chances hither and thither. Did we take any? Did we f*ck! Relegation was signposted months ago with this group of talentless, clueless, couldn’t-care-less players (excepting one or two.) I can’t even be arsed with today’s dead rubber, suffer for 90mins and then ‘have’ to applaud them! Quite frankly, at the end of the game, I hope Ady shows them where the door is!Spike wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 9:04 am As bloody awful as this season has been, the facts are that if we had beaten Eastbourne we would now be favourites to stay up.

Re: Dartford v Truro City Sat 20 Apr 2024
"Just about everything conspired to save us" made me chuckle, mainly because it's true. I too am hoping for a cull of biblical proportions. Frankly I'd have only 3 players on my retained list and two of them are a bit iffy and the other one is an academy lad. I am hoping Ade will make massive changes and bring in an assortment of fresh faces. Hopefully we can be a bit more adventurous and not just keep fishing in the pool of DFC old boys who never quite made it the first time around ... and above all, no more recruiting of Darent Valley outpatients.Sleightly Deceptive wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 9:38 amIf there’s anyone on here that would, ordinarily, avoid ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ it’s YOU, Spike, with your sensible and polite reasoning.

Re: Dartford v Truro City Sat 20 Apr 2024
If you want to get a perspective of how bad our season has been, it's a fact that Olly Box who has played barely a handful of games, is in with a chance of winning the forum's player of the season. Currently sitting on 5 man of the match awards, he is only one behind Luke Coulson on 6. With today's game and the London Senior Cup match(es) still to play, Olly could still nick it. This is especially true since the first team's contracts will run out today and we could be fielding mostly an academy team in the cup. To be honest, I think Olly has been the best thing about this season anyway, so good luck to him.

I don't think a day has passed since that mind numbingly woeful performance against Eastbourne, when l keep saying the same thing to myself Spike.Spike wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 9:04 am As bloody awful as this season has been, the facts are that if we had beaten Eastbourne we would now be favourites to stay up.

Quite a few Eastbourne fans often remind me too
I have honestly never felt so down and disappointed after a Dartford match than that day.
Re: Dartford v Truro City Sat 20 Apr 2024
I saw things in the home game to Hemel that made me think we would be relegated, unfortunately it has proved to be the case.
Still gutted and never for one moment did i ever think we would be relegated, mid table at worse.
I will be there today and next week at the LSC match because it's my club.
Today will probably be the worse atmosphere ever, but to be honest it ain't been great for the last two seasons.
I'll be glad when this seasons all over........

Not 100% Steve. I think it's a bit harsh on DV outpatients. Some could have put in a better shift than some in the squad..![🤨](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f928.svg)
Re: Dartford v Truro City Sat 20 Apr 2024
Could be a single-figure representation from our visitors today. They’ve done enough travelling to their home games!
Still think there could be value in finishing 21st for this reason.

It’s simple , beat Taunton, get a reprieve.
However unlikely both of these are .

Re: Dartford v Truro City Sat 20 Apr 2024
You've lost me there Kentc. We would still be in the bottom 4 so where would the reprieve come from?
Re: Dartford v Truro City Sat 20 Apr 2024
I think he means if Taunton lose, we beat Truro and on the very slim chance Truro get kicked out of the league, we stay up. I wish as it will save me a lot of work.
