The Dart(s) Board

"Stupid pricing" seems harsh. I'm not sure where this is coming from as £10 is already a discounted price and seems pretty fair to me. If anything, you could argue that the Charlton & Gillingham games could have been charged at our normal entrance fee rather than just a tenner. I don't...

I'd rather watch the Darts play a competitive game against Middlezoy Rovers than a friendly against Real Madrid. Mass substitutions, unknown triallists, and nobody giving a hoot about the result. As long as that attitude doesn't carry on for the whole season, like it did last year. Friendlies are ju...

Mentioning their name is a small price to pay for such a good sponsorship deal.
I'd be happy to order a Bericote Powerhouse beer with a Bericote Powerhouse burger if it brings in some more Bericote Powerhouse cash.
If I ever need a new Powerhouse, Bericote will be my first port of call.

Having watched Sam many times when he played in the academy, I felt his best position was as holding midfield player. I felt he was excellent in that role and it was Dowse who switched him to full back. It would be good to see him get a crack in the middle, at least during the friendlies.

Shameful comment Ajaxman. We haven't even kicked a Ball yet.

This is very sad news. My condolences to Gordon's family and friends. RIP Gordon.

It's good to see a few more comments from people wanting everyone to start with a clean slate. Pre-judging players many of whom we've probably never even seen play, is foolhardy and counter-productive. In any case, some of our very best players have come from humble beginnings or with a troubled pas...

To be fair, it's a tall order expecting people to remember everyone who scored against us last year.

M1 has a fair point in raising the issue of DOA leaving after the club paid for his operation when he maybe could have shown a bit of loyalty, but perhaps he can pay us back now by banging in a few goals. At his best, he is a class act who should do well at this level. But there is a question as to ...

For 3/4 of every season, there is absolutely no difference between having Luke Allen in your squad and not having Luke Allen in your squad. So even if you think he's a good player, his departure doesn't matter a jot for most of the time.

Given he barely got a sniff under Ady, I think I know what is more likely, but honestly, does it really matter?

He wasn't the worst player in the squad but I honestly think we can do better. I certainly wouldn't want him back on loan Duke. The last thing I want to see is a squad full of loan players, we've had enough of that over the last couple of years and it doesn't work. You can't build team spirit with s...

I still think Jay should have got the player of the season award.

Hopefully Ady will be focusing on stuff like fitness and tactics rather than karaoke. Whoever the opposition, it surely can't be any worse than last year's pre-season.

I don't want to be picky Duke, but it doesn't seem fair for you to call our club out for not introducing the same initiatives and "add-ons" as Chatham when you haven't actually said what a single one of those initiatives and add-ons are. From where I'm standing, the only difference between...

It doesn't matter where he's been, it's where he's going that counts. Welcome aboard Denzelle and the best of luck to you.

I'm just grateful that Ady is fishing in a new pool.

I'm worried that it is deafening silence on signing players. Down this way Weston have already made 2 big signings - Like Coulson and Ollie Chamberlain from Taunton. Added to that or website is still plastered with Vanerama advertising - has everyone gone in holiday? The website still thinks the FA...

Perhaps if we had waited until the end of the season we could have got Dennis Kurtreib in as manager instead of trying to do a patch up job with various others. No offence to Ade but I feel we brought him in far too late to get us out of the mess we were in. Dennis is now looking to get back into t...

I would have thought that would only be a problem if the game was segregated. Otherwise, there's no reason why it can't operate as normal.

These are excellent and very welcome changes. I think they will be well received. Shame we didn't do it last year as Dowse's Darts might have been more watchable whilst drinking a few beers. I think these changes are refreshingly bold and I hope it reaps dividends. The free season tickets for youngs...
