Don't give them ideas, they'll change it at 7.35pm on Tuesday.

Re: Dartford v Hemel Hempstead Town Sat 23 Mar 2024

Great business by Ady today. We had 3 glaring holes and he's plugged all 3. All 3 have to start tomorrow. We DO have some good players and if these new guys are as good as Ady's most recent acquisition, Ronny Nelson, then we've got half a chance. If memory serves, I think this feeling is called opti...

Re: Dartford v Hemel Hempstead Town Sat 23 Mar 2024

Looking forward to welcoming Dowse in an appropriate manner tomorrow. Ady Pennock might see it as just another game but in my eyes it's open warfare against the architect of this season's shambles and a fantastic opportunity to turn the tables and drag Hemel into the relegation dogfight. They are ca...

Re: Truro City v Dartford Tue 26 Mar 2024

Well if Taunton have games at home on Saturday and Monday, given how poor the pitch has been, it's asking a lot to play 3 games in 4 days. I've already wasted several hundred quid making pointless journeys down to the west country and Truro have already shown they don't give a **** about both home a...

Re: RIP Dave Skinner

Such sad news, without him (& others of course, especially his Co Chairman Steve Irving) would there be a DFC today? It is my understanding Dave put his home as security to secure the funds to keep The Darts going before things settled with the new ground. Only part of what he did & maybe w...

Re: Change of admission 20/03/2024

Great that we are trying something different. Hopefully word will get around quickly and we'll have a decent attendance and great atmosphere for these final few crucial games.

Re: Dartford v Maidstone Utd Sat 16 Mar 2024

It's obviously true that our problems are not all down to the goalkeeper and defence. As Stumpy has said, we do also have a serious lack of firepower up front and I don't think anyone would deny that. Our results prove we are not a very good side, but that doesn't alter the fact that we would have c...

You do chat shit, Fella. The entire side is a liability but you want to highlight one position. Well done 👏
Are you by any chance related to Billy?
Yep...
Thought so.

The goalkeeper position has been a liability for months and why we never sorted it out is beyond me.

Re: News from around the National League South

Game at Taunton now OFF due to 2 hours of incessant heavy rain. Rumours now surfacing suggesting Taunton may soon be going into liquidation -heard it from one of my suppliers, who don't the football club as well, but not from my contacts at the club Geez, it's hard to know exactly how to feel about...

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 recognisa...

Re: News from around the National League South

Absolutely agree with Park Life. Clubs "passing the bucket" round and expecting other people to sympathize / help when they've been running up huge debts paying players wages they and more importantly, WE can't afford. They still sign them, but we don't. That's why they are losing 10 point...

Re: Braintree Town v Dartford Tue 12 Mar 2024

For a moment I was genuinely picturing you going through past results, past performances and forum opinions to come to your technical results. Then you made me laugh but unfortunately it’s simple and true. Looking forward to Adys interview I'm glad I cheered you up. I usually get my mood boost watc...

Re: Braintree Town v Dartford Tue 12 Mar 2024

I've done some high level technical research and it seems to me that our failures are the result of two major problems. It's a bit technical, so I hope it doesn't go over anyone's head. 1. We don't score enough goals. 2. We let too many goals in. Further analysis of these problems has led me to the ...

Re: Braintree Town v Dartford Tue 12 Mar 2024

Leaving out Olly from the squad for the second time in a row is a strange one. The lad gave us a spark of hope and it must feel like a right kick in the teeth for the fella. It's a very unpopular move by Ady and I've yet to speak to a Darts fan who understands it. It's not like we have better option...
