Not sure how the club deals with this. We had some serious disturbances. In the car park after the game when apparently the large group of Dartford youth attacked somebody and they all went south very quickly. For myself really embarrassed about their behaviour. Probably about 30 of them thinking they were straight Outta Green Street honestly really shameful behaviour with locals threatening our little group when we were just trying to leave the ground. Like I said not sure what the club can do but I have to do something about this.
Today was the 1st match this season I have missed home or away, and unfortunately I've seen a few instances where the younger fans have been involved with trouble this year !
It's a shame because most opposing fans I've met have been great and given us a very warm welcome at their grounds !
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - our ‘yoof’ are not Dartford fans one bit. I saw them all trying to leave one home game after about ten minutes when they were bored with ‘no trade’. They’re nothing but pathetic entitled twats and one day, one or two of them are gonna get a proper shoe-ing from somebody or a group of somebodies. Sadly, our own stewards have absolutely no idea what to do about them. I really wish they’d f*ck off to Welling, or wherever. We won’t miss them or the odd £2 or £5 they pay. I agree, the club needs to do something about them. Where they can. I’m really not enjoying my match day experience at PP these days and these oiks ain’t helping. Not just once have I thought about packing it in.

If i was a neutral, I would’ve thought i was watching a soccer aid match and even that’s a bit generous. Looked completely lost when attacking inside the box and both teams were as bad as each other. Might be reactionary, and i have to admit i didn’t see us turning things around last season, but i really do not see us challenging this season unfortunately
Thanks for the updates today PL from a very cold and wet Cairn Gorm & Aviemore. Not the result I wanted to hear but one I half expected with that lineup. I can’t believe that we’ve had a two week break and not got any players back or bought anyone in. With only seven games gone we are a whopping 15 points adrift of the top place. To say I am gutted is an understatement
As for the youths, they have been good at home matches since pre-season and the issue is with away games where the few trouble makers are not allowed in at home games. The club know who they are because the same few yobs were banned by Ebb$fl££t. They were also in attendance at Ramsgate but it only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch.
Not at the match today so can’t comment on the game , but can comment on the young knuckle draggers who have been causing trouble of late : St Albans , Ramsgate and now Aveley . There are a few recognisable faces in amongst those out to cause trouble and those wannabes who will follow them , so surely DFC can ban those responsible before they cost the club in fines or even points deduction .
Wasn’t there either and I’m glad I wasn’t. I have zero motivation to go. We are dreadful. We have no depth filling our bench with academy players with no first team experience. Clueless players like Eze who think they’re better than they are and lose their discipline (one of many). Dread to think what will happen to the club if we go through another relegation. Make a change before it’s too late. Said he should’ve gone at the end of last season and still stick by that.
Glad to see people finally starting to see things for what they are.
Pennock isn’t the man to take the club forward.
Yes we had a really good run last year in the middle of the season, but the start and end of it we were terrible.
The end of season form has continued into this season. His recruitment last summer was poor, and it’s been even worse this summer.
What exactly does the fitness coach do? We’ve never had so many players out injured.
Something clearly not right, the discipline is horrendous.
Aveley regard this game as a local derby! Do any Darts fans on here think the same? IMO this isn’t a derby - despite the locality of both teams we’re in different counties (stating the obvious!)

Missing, injured - Michael O, Oduardo, Okoye, McLeod, Dan Smith, Nayler
We get sod all information from the club, as usual, does anyone know when to expect these players back? It wouldn’t hurt to update fans. In fact, might go a long way to ‘reassure’ most of the disgruntled on here.

Some say Pennock isn't up to it.
Strange that in early April with automatic promotion in sight and a long run of 21 games unbeaten, Ade Pennock could probably walk on water.
Some people are sooo fickle.
Just to add to these miserable DFC times...
Sad news while at Aveley, we learned that Dave Kent
(aka, The Duke) passed away yesterday.
Our immediate thoughts and prayers are for his wife and family, including Trevor and Matt Burgess.
R.I.P Dave +
