Looking forward to this game I’ve seen Ramsgate have signed 2 decent looking players today one from Maidstone a striker and Greg Cundle formerly of Ebsfleet who has just left Welling.

Going to be a tough game however I think they have a few weaknesses in defence we can take advantage of

And it seems to me he’s lived his life like a Cundle in the wind!!

So, a striker who can't get in at Maidstone and a chap who's just left Welling....hmmm.
Okay, they shouldn't be sniffed at but Ram's put up a good shout against Folkestone and lost it in the 94th minute. According to my Gym mate they are playing pretty well at the moment.
I do hope we get a win tomorrow otherwise he'll be bombarding me with texts. I'm sure he'll have a lot to say pre-match at the ground tomorrow.
Anyway, apart from that, let's give them a tonking. We defended well at Chatham now let's concentrate on scoring.

This got the stewards in a bit of a confused pickle at the last home game.

It’s all kicking off on the Dartford FC Facebook page with the announcement although Steve Irving is responding to all messages so far sounds like intelligence received that the Ramsgate and Dartford youth have arranged for a meet up etc

What are the odds of a frozen pitch tomorrow.

Pitch inspection 11 am according to Facebook.

Covers have been on but i have been told area in front of the seats is frozen solid

The ground in Dartford park was very hard this morning. I fear that the game might not go ahead today.

That’s not good. I’ll go back to bed.

GAME OFF

Bring back Jay the Groundsman
He used to work all week to ensure the games were on.

A shame as we used to have one of the best pitches in non league.

After 28 years of trying to get my Stepson and Grandson to come to a game together with me I finally got them to come today.

You had to find something to moan about

If there was ever a moment that shows you will just moan and be negative over anything around the club this is it. I bet if it was on you’d criticise the club too. Back to your sticky keyboard then.

Well look on the brightside ! We are still undefeated in 2026 !

Another +ve's we couldn't have another round of drinks in our bar & watch the Arsenal game, as last orders for 7/8 tables were 5pm, being a frozen - off match day...
