Re: RIP Dave Skinner

For anyone that may be interested I’ve added some photos to Facebook from the days I used to take a few snaps when going to away matches with Dave Skinner and others. You should be able to access it via the link https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02ohWxRaB2STDfQQwJbJ8weQFe79qNDZBuKbMVf...

Re: Dartford v Maidstone Utd Sat 16 Mar 2024

It's a little thing called 'support'. Thanks for stopping by, though. Sorry let me get this right, after everything you’ve said you want to quote the word “support” I wouldn’t know where to begin with that, are you aware of your own posts. It’s very simple, if you’re suffering you can easily just g...

Re: Dartford v Hemel Hempstead Town Sat 23 Mar 2024

Nothing but a win will do for two reasons; firstly, we need the points and secondly, it’s against the man who single handedly irritated every supporter after each and every interview.

Re: Dartford v Maidstone Utd Sat 16 Mar 2024

Best of luck to the Darts. We really could do with the rub of the green today against this mob. I’ll be keeping a close eye and ear on proceedings and, hopefully, look forward to much more positive reviews from posters from 4.45pm onwards!

Re: Braintree Town v Dartford Tue 12 Mar 2024

I'm sure I saw somewhere, the interview Ady did last Friday described as a weekly interview. If so, maybe we will see one tomorrow. To be honest, I think that's more than enough as Dowse certainly put an end to my desire to hear the manager's thoughts. Ady seems to talk coherently and in a recognis...

Re: Braintree Town v Dartford Tue 12 Mar 2024

Drove down to the game from the east coast and can confirm that the Darts performance lacked any real quality. Relegation is pretty much guaranteed based on the recent run of results so planning for the Isthmian Premier might as well begin. And with that in mind can I suggest the new manager actuall...

Re: Torquay Utd v Dartford Sat 9 Mar 2024

You're probably right, Dartford aren't in a financial mess like Taunton, Torquay and others. However unlike Dartford they have don't have the benefit of a 'free' stadium built at local tax payers expense, being able to play matches in a stadium 'rent-free' and also not having the financial benefit ...

Re: Dartford v Aveley - Tue 27 Feb 2024

My first visit to Princes Park since the first game of the season (3-3 draw v Bath) and my subsequent house move. That match and last night’s defeat had so many similarities where the Darts looked in reasonable control but were unable to collect three points due to defensive frailties and poor decis...

Re: FA Cup.

Currently getting tanked 3-0 at the moment. Coventry displayed the right attitude from the start. Hopefully they’ll continue to batter them in the second half.

Re: Dartford v Aveley - Tue 27 Feb 2024

I’ve persuaded myself to venture down to PP for this relegation / play off battle. At the beginning of the season most observers would have expected the positions of the respective clubs, at this stage of the season, to be reversed. How wrong were they! I’m reliably informed that performances have p...

Re: Dartford v Chippenham Town Tue 13 Feb 2024

I think everyone is missing my point. What possible good can it do at this crucial time to start slagging off the players? We need them to drag us out of the position we are in as its highly unlikely that we will get an influx of new quality players in before the end of the season even if a new man...

Never thought I'd see the day we played my league side QPR, alright its not their 1st team in the FA Cup but the development side are top of their division so should be a decent game. You never know, we might be seeing a future Stan Bowles. Now that would be something 😀😀 Didn’t you play a game on t...

Re: New Manager.

Absolutely spot on, Spike. Even in my position watching events from afar this season my overriding feeling was the negative portrayal of the club by Dowson. Any positive aspects to his tenure have been most definitely wiped by the atrocious state he has left the first team; which Dowson admits ‘perh...

Re: Farnborough v Dartford Sat 3 Feb 2024

Those people talking about a late surge for the play-offs really need to get a grip on reality as surely our only concern this season now has to be gathering enough points to stay up, regroup and start again next season. I’m not sure the club is of the same view, Spike. According to the interview a...
