Doh, I think Barry Hearn is pumping some decent finance into Brentwood through sponsorship so reckon they might still be a major play off threat.Dart of Herts wrote: Thu Apr 30, 2026 1:51 pmSecond season syndrome is about newly-promoted teams that are relatively small for their new division. They have momentum, confidence and a good playing system from their promotion season, and bigger teams underestimate them. After their first season, bigger teams raid them of their best players and learn to stop the tactics that caught them off guard in the first season.
Obviously it’s a trend, not a golden rule. But I’d put money on Brentwood being nowhere near the top 5 next season (if they lose the final)
If they go up, I’m happy for them, but it’s better for us if they stay down

You’ll be pleased know it is Whyteleafe that won the play off final on pens.DA Mikey wrote: Wed Apr 29, 2026 9:31 pmBrilliant.The Futures White wrote: Tue Apr 28, 2026 10:50 pm There will be no trip to Jersey next season for Dartford. The Bulls lost their play off semi final on penalties after a 0-0 draw with AFC Whyteleafe. In the other Isthmian South East play off semi-final AFC Croydon beat Sittingbourne 2-0
You want: Weekend in Jersey
You’d settle for: A2 derby vs Sittingbourne
You get: Croydon
