No doubt Fleet were the better side for the first 90 minutes. Robbed. :shock:

I can't imagine how much that hurt. They still had the chance to win though on extra time so perhaps a little less moaning about the extra couple of minutes added in fairness due to their own fans celebrations.
Proper that the top two went up.Spare a thought for Brackley in the north who were 22 points ahead of York. This is not what leagues should be about.

Well done to Dorking as " their never say die " team spirit got them over the line and based on the whole season they deserved it ,Fleet probably played the best " football " I have seen this season but just lack that killer instinct , we did ok getting into the play offs but Kingy has seen whats needed and his recruitment policy for next season will be a major factor in what I believe will be more difficult than this season with teams like Dover , Weymouth and Taunton coming in along with current batch of Ebbsfleet, Havant [ cant believe they can be as bad again ] Chippenham and Oxford , looking forward to what should be a great season of football with the extra games !!!!!

My thoughts exactly. It’s gonna be an amazing league next season. No easy games. Apart from Welling. 😂

Congratulations to Dorking Wanderers. It will be interesting to see how they cope next season.
I think Worthing need a mention also as they were running away with the Isthmian Premier on three occasions (two interrupted by covid). Happy to get over the line at long last. A team to watch.

Blimey its not that long ago we would have regarded ourselves as superior in all things to Bromley FC but yesterday they won the FA Trophy in front of 46000 at Wembley. I wouldn't be surprised if they started to knock on the door of the football league and emulate Sutton Utd. I wonder where their finance is coming from?

Brilliant for Bromley, just shows what can be done locally, not to long ago we were facing Sutton and beating them 6 - 1 !

I can remember us playing Forest Green Rovers at Erith and Belvedere old ground, some significant investment made. I wonder if Dorking will be next !

Full marks to the Tonbridge Players , I am willing to bet that many will NOT be there next season

Add to that the stupid sacking of Darren Blackburn at Sittingbourne as he would be too busy building an extension to his house and KENT doesnt come out with much credit this week
Darren Blackburn is now part of the management team at Hythe Town FC, he was appointed by their new manager Steve Watt.
Certainly a step up from Sittingbourne.

Not sure if he was fully fit or not but prior didn’t exactly set the world on fire when he was here previously

Jason had suffered a major injury before he came to us. Top class player and usually scores against the Darts. Don't think he was all that happy playing for them.
