Down this way Weston have already made 2 big signings - Like Coulson and Ollie Chamberlain from Taunton. Added to that or website is still plastered with Vanerama advertising - has everyone gone in holiday?

The website still thinks the FA Cup is suspended since Hitler invaded Poland.

Don’t knock it… season tickets are only 10 bob.

Only those of a certain vintage will know what that is. Mind you that is probably 99% of the posters on this forum!

DFC are still classed as being in the Vanarama League until the FA have a meeting to decide on the location of clubs for the 2024/25 season. As such, DFC still have to abide by National League rules.

We then lose our place in the National League at the AGM in June before being accepted into what DFC expect, the Isthmian League the following week.

I’m also worried about the lack of new player news.

Hopefully Ade got under control but we need to get business done early in my opinion

Apparently Paul Rooney stretched it off playing for Lewes looks like a nasty injury.

Just seen this from Dan

Paul Rooney playing for Lewes and has gone off with a serious injury. The way he went off on a stretcher it looks like a possible leg break or knee ligaments.

Hopefully it's not as serious as it sounds, I liked Paul and wished he was one of the players we kept on for this season.

Injury aside if he's playing for Lewes it's safe to assume that's him being another player departing us.

Paul Rooney has posted on X saying he thinks it may be his acl

Well I cannot see him being covered on Dartfords insurance contracts ran out after Hendon game, and would Lewes have insurance for them for a few games I doubt it.
So he will struggle to work as a scaffolder with a dodgy ACL, a long year ahead for him, six months after the operation to normally use then a long time to get back to football.

He may have forced the gaffers hand now and may let go, shame he could have picked up the armband and been a real leader.

Didn't want a lot , did he? Smart arse. Seems he wants everyone chasing around to get himself fixed.

Grateful Dowse wasn't here. Probably would have been his first signing.

I would have been happy if Rooney had signed on again but in all honesty I don't think there was a cat in hells chance.

Rooney was one of our best players towards the end of the season but I doubted he would have stayed.
Hoping Ade would have a good clear out anyway and then we can't blame anyone else should things go awry.
A good start though with the two lads from the academy.

Meant that Dowse would have signed him with a long term injury.

I tore my ACL at the age of 27 and never played again.
Didn’t actually have it diagnosed for about two years following an arthroscopy (keyhole surgery), but it didn’t stop me going to work. Not quite as physically a demanding job as scaffolding, but do build the occasional scaffold tower so not a million miles off.

Anyway, it’s a horrible thing to suffer which changes the way you move every single day, so I hope Rooney manages to get it sorted.

WHY ??? was Rooney playing for Lewes a few days after his contract finished at the Darts , surely NOT a career move for him ???????????

Brandon Barzey has left the club

Brandon was offered a new deal but made the decision to sign elsewhere.

We wish Brandon all the best for the future and thank him for his contributions in black and white

#DartfordFC #DartsFC

No real surprise as Brandon [ when fully fit] is too good for Isthmian Premier and at least Ade can concentrate on getting available players in and NOT chasing the remaining players who under achieved last season but will probably think they are still NLS standard - new clubs in for a shock !!!!!!!!!

Whilst still early days a couple of new signings would give Darts fans a lift !!!!!!!!

No surprise on Brandon.
A good player on his DAY but you'd need to check the international calendar first before offering him a deal......

Dfc need better than ‘Good players on their day’ though!!
Need 30-40+ games a season players who are 100% committed to the club!!
They will be out there, but not an envious task trying to find & subsequently sign them??!!

all these players jumping ship. they got us relegated. no f*cking loyalty, no passion. just sniffing out the largest pay packet from other clubs. they never gave a shit about the club with their fake badge kissing
