The Dart(s) Board

I doubt if the team would have been celebrating after Thursday considering they were away. So I don't expect there'll be any hangovers. They'll be saving it all for today. The question is, can we gatecrash the party? We did it at Stockport once infront of 6000 spectators, although granted we had a v...

If we do get relegated and please note I'm still using the word 'if', even though it's extremely likely now, then maybe the club shop should start stocking up on Dartford C&D FC (Community & Development) ear plugs for next season. Because all we're gonna hear from away fans is "Your gro...

So Olly Box was handed a first team contract ahead of the 2023/24 season. Then shipped off to Margate and had to wait until February before breaking into the first team following the departure of a manager who always said if the youngsters are good enough they're in. The teams been struggling all bl...

The FA have decided the game between Bath and Slough, which was abandoned with Bath trailing 4-2, will not be replayed. The points will be awarded to Slough.

What's a Premiere League ground? If Fulham were still in the Championship their's probably wouldn't be referred to as such. The reference to Luton being that not so long ago they were a National League outfit yet is their club a Premiere League ground? Yes, but only while they're in it. So let's not...

If we've lost over £70,000 last year which will be the financial year ending April 2023 then I wonder what the losses will be for this year ending April 2024. And what percentage of that could be down to ill-informed and badly timed decisions? Paying up the remaining months of Mr. Dowson's contract ...

Under the present structure with the old guard still at the helm, enjoying life as privileged fans, we were never going anywhere. Not unless a day out down the coast involving a piss up in the biggest Wetherspoons pub in the country is classified as going somewhere. I submitted a post earlier in the...

And so is Luton a Premiere League ground. If anything it was a distraction. If it meant picking up three points I would have taken Motspur Park any day.

It was a strange feeling this afternoon. I should be angry, ranting and raving or drunk. Even both by now. But for 99 minutes I just felt heavily sedated. Indifferent due to being not in the least bit surprised by what I was witnessing. To be honest I think many of us have known the writing has been...

Please be aware anyone taking a dog to Princes Park these days may risk incurring a slap on the wrist and a fine from the RSPCA under the Cruelty to Animals Act.

This old Chestnut rears its head every now & again!! You have to weigh up the pros & cons for & against, but the Club do run Champs bar downstairs which isn’t exactly ‘The One Bell’ in Crayford when it comes to an organised success!! So that would need to be put into the equation too?? ...

The company who rent the bar facilities from Dartford FC must be making a profit otherwise they wouldn't be there.
Aren't we missing a trick here?

Interesting article by Steve King in today's edition of the Non-League Paper. When it comes to recruitment he's one of the best in the business. Especially his knowledge of players at the level above of whichever division he's managing in at the time. Unlike Dowse his sacking wasn't down to results...

On to Monday then. It won't be the end of the world if we fail to beat Eastbourne but it's definitely a fixture we dare not lose. Borough were reduced to 10 men in the 26th minute, then in the 53rd they were down to 9. They must have put up one hell of a fight in search of an equaliser until Maidsto...

I've just been watching that classic YouTube video again of the referee being chased off the pitch, through the car park and out of the ground by the players! Should Hemel win this afternoon I'm wondering if a similar scene could occur upon the final whistle, with Dowse legging it down the slope tow...

It just needs the referees to 'man up' - when a player goes down screaming and then has a miraculous recovery as soon as the whistle goes then give them a yellow card for 'ungentlemanly conduct' - or go the whole hog and give them a red card for 'serious foul play' Sorry I am now admitting my age b...

It's extremely optimistic.

The only problem there is we don't get awarded that many penalties and we're running out of games.

I'm not surprised by the position we're in now. It's been coming. We've had two good managers One steered us away from relegation to a play-off final and was sacked. The other to a second place finish and was sacked the following season. Both managers regularly referred to "the budget" whi...

The current form guide has Eastbourne in 16th and us in 22nd place. They have been improving and like us, before the Torquay debacle, were only losing by the odd goal and now they've started reversing those 0-1 score lines. Even more concerning, their next 2 games are both at home and they're not up...
