That's one of my questions.gone for Friday

I was just about to ask those who should be asked about Jeremiah Pinder. I've asked Geoff to reserve Jeremiah as regards kit sponsorship this season.
But I wanted to know if I'm not just throwing my money at someone who is going to be loaned out three weeks into the season because he's not going to break into the squad.
From what little I've seen of the lad he's big and has been starting friendlies.
What chance have we of seeing more of the lad in the first team squad and not being shipped off to a lower division team to get his minutes and first team experience?
I like to back the team financially as I do not get to every game so I'm asking supporter's out there about his prospects?

What I'm saying is I do not want to spend that sort of money if I have a good chance of seeing him more at Margate/Ramsgate

He's looked decent mate but i'm afraid that's the chance you take. But if he smashes it you can dine out for years on "i was the first person to sponsor his kit"

Yes it’s a chance u take. I’m hoping to get Olly Box but I think he may get snapped up very quickly. My fall back is Ashdon.

Cheers Steve, I get that. I took a chance with Lee Noble and ended up sponsoring him for 4 years I believe.

John, Geoff tells me Olly has already been taken

Thought he might be. Thanks for letting me know. Looks like option B

Fans who watch the Academy lads on a regular basis have for a while been enthusing [ especially] about the quality with Jez Pinder being the pick and he has certainly shown in preseason that he has the class to play at this level and will hopefully carry it into this coming season . For a while now I have despaired that previus Managers have NOT really given the Academy lads a fair crack but Ade/Roland [ at this level] have grasped the chance and well done to them

Good luck to ALL of the lads , you cant beat " home grown talent " for the spirit Dartford needs and F. G.R. to that shower[ with 2 exceptions] who " supposedly " played for us last season !!!!!!

Okay Duke you've swayed me, Jeremiah it is

Sorry John. It is me that has taken on Ollie for the season. I was actually sponsoring him towards the end of last season after he broke into the first team squad, although the programme was never updated to reflect my sponsorship.

He should have asked you to sponsor his yellow cards as well! What a legend Nobes is!!!

No problem Pete, you’re very welcome. If it wasn’t you I imagine someone else would have snapped him up. I’ve had Sam for the last two seasons but felt a change was good.

Any news on the 2 (possibly 3) signings that we were hoping to make over the weekend? . Hope it wasn’t just some whistling in the wind. Just that since pre season started we have heard this a number of times now. Hopefully some positive news before the weekend as I still think we are short of experience

I must admit I have been regularly going on the forum hoping for the news Ady touched on friday night , maybe he got a little bit carried away as I believe that we should never hear about incomers until they have actually signed on the dotted line !!!

Bit worried about the lack of information coming out of the club since Friday's Q&A Session, Not just on any new arrivals but also fitness of players such Marsden, Box,DOA,

Spoke to Olly on Friday , he told me he was out for the Borehamwood game but will be fit for Cray

Incoming?

After impressing as a trialist in Saturday’s friendly we are pleased to announce that Sam Okoye has joined permanently!

The right back spent last season at Hastings and now adds further depth into Ady’s defensive options!
