Re: CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS
I've heard more than a few "sack the board" comments which are inevitable when you have a stinker of a season like the one we've just had, but ironically the directors who get the most flack are the ones who are most well known and who probably do the most work at the club. It's not like t...

Re: CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS
This thread is a great idea, but I agree with Taunton Dart that what we need to see here is the "constructive ideas" suggested in the title. We've all done our fair share of moaning this season, but what we are looking for here is ways to fix things. It was quite bold of the club to do the...

Re: CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS
Also could under 16s or kids get cheaper rates on the coaches to away games? It may not be cost effective I understand that. As much as that would be great, the cost of hiring coaches has gone through the roof and they are outrageously expensive, hence the whopping fares increases this season. Mick...

Re: Player news
I'll be gutted if that is true, I was hoping we'd get at least next season with Olly. The Dartford fans love him and I think he could make a real impact. It's not purely selfishness, long term I think it might benefit him to have a season long experience at non-league level. I wish him well in whate...

Re: News from around the National League South
The way I see it, our most realistic chance of escaping the drop is at the expense of Dover, Havant, Taunton & Eastbourne and an outside chance of Dowse working his "magic" at Hemel and dragging them into the equation by losing their final two. Either way, we surely need 2 wins from 3 ...

Re: Dartford v Worthing Tue 9 Apr 2024
Well here we are then, 3 games to go and thanks to Saturday's heroic efforts we've given ourselves a chance. Everyone played their part at Havant and if they can do it again tomorrow then I've no doubt we COULD get another win. I keep thinking it's over but we're still in there fighting and 2 wins f...

Re: Havant & Waterlooville v Dartford Sat 6 Apr 2024
Without doubt the best performance of the season for me. Darts bossed the game throughout and it would have been a travesty not to have won the game. Both goalkeepers had excellent games but my MOTM once again was the effervescent Olly Box. If we're to have any chance of a last minute escape, this l...

Re: John Stevens Home Player of the Year voting
If we were voting on the ratio of good performances to actual appearances then the only two players with consistently decent performances would be Sandford or Olly Box. They might have played far too few games to get serious votes, but they're the only two I can think of who could look back on their...

Re: Havant & Waterlooville v Dartford Sat 6 Apr 2024
Whilst my head is aware that relegation is now inevitable, my heart insists on going to Havant on Saturday. It will inevitably be cold and rainy and no rational human being who witnessed the Eastbourne game would expect anything other than another failure, but I think I can rationalise my decision o...

Re: Dartford v Eastbourne Borough Mon 1 Apr 2024
Unusually, I have just watched the highlights. I believe that the challenge that put Block out of the match would normally have been worthy of a yellow card, but this ref and the linesman saw nothing wrong with it and no free kick was given. They also both saw nothing wrong with the blatent handbal...

Re: Dartford v Eastbourne Borough Mon 1 Apr 2024
All of Ady's signings have been underwhelming and simply not good enough. I dont believe he should even be in the dugout next season in the Isthmian. But then again I don't trust the board to recruit a suitable replacement anyway. Did I read somewhere he has been given a 2 year contract? So we will...

Re: Dartford v Eastbourne Borough Mon 1 Apr 2024
As frustrating as it is, gamesmanship is part of the game and if we were smart enough to use it we wouldn't have thrown away as many leads/points as we did in the first half of the season. I have to agree. If we can't be good, we could at least have been a bit nastier. We look so naive at times and...

Re: Dartford v Eastbourne Borough Mon 1 Apr 2024
I will travel the length and breadth of the country to support this club and I will always do my best to get behind the team in the hope that our support might just make the tiniest difference and help bridge the gap when we're struggling to get some sort of positive result. The truth however, is th...

Re: Chelmsford City v Dartford Fri 29 Mar 2024
Yeah I forgot everyone's got to be positive on here despite the absolute state the club is in. How dare I express some negativity. Not like the players give a shit so why should I. I don't know why it is so difficult for people to understand that you CAN and DO say whatever you like on here, but th...

Re: Dartford Players of The Past
Hemel need to get used to the idea of phantom signings that don't actually happen ... this is one area in which Dowse excels. Dinanga will be next.

Re: Truro City v Dartford Tue 26 Mar 2024
Just got home from the game. We were the better side, we nearly won it in the last few seconds and our lads gave it a bloody good go. Under any other circumstances it would have been a decent result. Whatever happens between now and the end of the season I have every faith in Ady Pennock and I expec...

Re: Truro City v Dartford Tue 26 Mar 2024
Duke, If Dowse had been given a huge budget, we'd be getting relegated with a huge debt. Nothing else would have changed.
