Re: Steve King

F.F.S. IF Kedwell or Collins even get an interview then the Board will have had a melt down , there is plenty of proven class out there and a BIG Club like Dartford needs to be hiring one of them !!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Steve King

Jamie Day would be a very strong candidate as he played " football " the right way , became initially a Player Manager and was successful at Welling then into League Football and then a successful spell as Bangladesh {?] Manager and presumably now back in the area . Well known to Darts fan...

Re: Steve King

Sounds like Kingy has overstepped the mark and got the wrong side of the Board but no one is indispensable and it is very important that the Board take their time and appoint a quality proven Manager to take the Club forward . I think is fair to say that many fans [ including me] were NOT really hap...

Re: News from around the National League South

Well done to Dorking as " their never say die " team spirit got them over the line and based on the whole season they deserved it ,Fleet probably played the best " football " I have seen this season but just lack that killer instinct , we did ok getting into the play offs but Kin...

Re: Eastbourne v Dartford Sat 7 May 2022

I went today and it was a pleasure to see a Darts side balanced across ALL of the pitch which no doubt contributed to a very good win Great to see Danny Roberts get a start on wide left instead of that awful big gap that is usually apparent to most Dart fans and of course the opposition who have [ a...

Re: News from around the National League South

Perhaps there is some decency if Football after all , Tonbridge have cancelled the end of season presentations at the Players request , it seems they are p.....d off at McKimms departure and a large number of fans are calling for him to be reinstated , obviously NOT going to happen as he would tell ...

Re: Eastbourne v Dartford Sat 7 May 2022

I will be going and expecting a real tough game as Eastbourne's last 10 games at home reads W7 , D1, L2 For 23 Ag 14 , however they did lose their last home game to Billericay !!

Lets hope that he team respond to Steve Kings Post Match comments and put in a performance ??

Re: News from around the National League South

I have followed Tonbridge for several seasons and it was painfully aware that they had a severe lack of finance reflected in the small budget they gave Steve McKimm and he has done wonders there getting them promoted and keeping them in the NLS ,their financial situation will dramatically improve fr...

Re: This may annoy some

I dislike Steve Kings revolving door policy and dont get the same buzz as I did with Tony Burmans teams , I actually believe TB was a better " Manager " but Kingy has the seemingly endless contact book but his tactics are difficult to understand !!!!!!!!

Re: Dartford v Braintree Town Mon 2 May 2022

Good God Ozy , IF you are questioning Tom Bonner then I just wonder what you think of the others as other than him , Wilks and Marcus have been poor for weeks , the realisation has probably crept in that IF we scrape through the Play Offs then probably only 3 of them are good enough for the National...

Re: This may annoy some

There is a different culture /atmosphere around the Team than in the Tony Burman days when the core of the team namely Bradbrook , Noble , Hayes , Burns , Harris [ +others ] would sign on for the next season and then ask what they would be getting paid , the majority of the current squad [ Bonner ex...
