Re: 12 Games Gone

In terms of league position, we are much higher than l'd anticipated given our current squad. I remain disappointed at the strength and quality of the squad overall, so it's "hats off" to Dowse and the team for stringing together a run of results. I'm really not convinced the current squad...

Re: Dartford v Welling Sat 10 Sep 2022

Have to agree that a good performance and result is much needed against our neighbours, who have made a pretty impressive start. Things have clearly improved at Welling this season. I never thought of them as a particularly forward thinking club..... but in fairness, they did show Kingy the door a g...

Re: Hemel Hempstead Town v Dartford Mon 29 Aug 2022

One of the highlights for me this season has been the commentaries. I'm not sure of any changes during the close season, but seems like a new commentator, or if the same person, then there has been a big jump forward. The commentary keeps up with all the action throughout the match and I can certai...

Re: Hemel Hempstead Town v Dartford Mon 29 Aug 2022

Sounds like a really positive response by the team to two poor displays against Taunton and Worthing. Good to hear Dowse sounding upbeat too. No ego and flannel from him, he says it as it is! I still think 10 games in is the yardstick, and that's why l didn't post after Saturdays showing - l might h...

I have to agree Pete. The quality of the film and commentary has really been stepped up. Very professional πŸ‘

Re: The new season

In answer to Greg's specific question, I'm a little bit disappointed by the apparent overall quality and depth of the squad to be honest. However, I've not seen any of the friendlies, so that may be a bit unfair, but just a gut feeling l guess. I can only assume that there must be a fair amount of b...

Re: Player news

I wouldn't worry about Dulwich as I'm convinced they have no intention of ever getting promoted. To do so would completely destroy their business model which relies hugely on sandal wearing hipsters who attend only to socialise whilst drinking real ale and consuming wagyu steak burgers served in ar...

Great news and welcome to the club Alan; it's great to have you on board. Well done to our directors for a making a quick and high profile appointment. Thanks also to our friends from Woking for their detailed and honest insights on Dowse. It would appear that his focus on developing the club at all...

Re: Steve King

He had these ideas on making the club professional or at least how he thought that worked. This involved withdrawing any social interaction between the players and supporters, not allowing players to enter the bar after the game. Simply driving a wedge in the club. For someone like me with 50 years...

Re: Steve King

I'm still gobsmacked that SK has gone but I do trust our excellent board to make the correct call, in the best interests of our great club. I have known some of these guys for over 40 years and they would not have come to this decision without good reason. For them to come to this decision, in such...

Re: Steve King

Very suprised at the news though it's pretty clear that Kingy ruffled quite a few feathers at the club and l wasn't really sure why he seemed to out of his way to do so on occasions. Perhaps there there was yet another disagreement which proved to be the straw that broke the camel's back for the boa...

Re: This may annoy some

I'm glad it's not just me! I have felt quite bad this season having lost my DFC mojo and I'm really not sure why. I've only used my season ticket six times l think and not been present since December. After the oustanding start to the season, both in results and performances, l just haven't been enj...

Re: Dartford v Maidstone Mon 18 Apr 2022

A lot of interesting views being expressed after this match, and I think a lot of it is down to frustrations the fans are feeling, especially after the scorching start we had in the the first 10 games. There's no doubt we have had our fair share of injuries over the season, but then, so have other ...

Re: Dartford v Maidstone Mon 18 Apr 2022

I know how the cultures of 2 ball games went in opposite directions; Ones played by Brits who understand passion & bring it into their game. And the other is played by Yanks who just bring a wheelbarrow of popcorn, hot dogs & a bucket full of Coke to theirs!! Not sure about that M1S.... wha...

Re: Chippenham v Dartford Sat 12 Mar 2022

It's so frustrating that our performances can vary so much form week to week but we are about where i thought we would be in the table but with just a little more consistency we could be in a much better position. I agree Steve, but it's hardly suprising given the number of players we've used this ...
