That’s the sort of team bonding & togetherness you should have in a play off team, not what we witnessed yesterday.

I do remember that match - as I wasn't there
I bought a ticket. My mate Les (Dartmouth) couldn't get a ticket, so I gave the ticket to him and I stayed at home.
Dartford v Welling Sun 13 May 2012 FT 1-0 Att 4088
Scorers: Noble (4)
Booked: Noble, Harris, Erskine
Team: Wells, Burns, Green, Bonner, Wilkinson, Champion, Noble, Rogers, Erskine, Bradbrook, Harris
Subs used: Garrod
Match Officials: Paul Rees, Vince Penfold, Alan Dale
I have radio commentary, photos (from Carol White-Griffiths), full video (unedited) and usual highlights for that match, on: http://www.sonytino.co.uk/20112012.htm
Some links to other stuff (reports etc) no longer work, but the videos do.
10 years later - I'm running the forum too

Unforgettable game of course and the early goal great. The other stand out for me was when Bonner tackled a Welling guy in the box and cleanly took the ball - outstanding defender then and still is. Missed the opportunity to get a ticket from Dartford but thankfully Welling still had some left!!!
Comparison between then and now. I think it is much tougher to get out of the NLS now with more full time teams and probably more money. We did punch above our weight when we played in the NLP but we had a consistent squad in the first season and found it difficult when key players left. Steve has had no option but to bring in players through the season only Bonner, Jebb and (until recently) Wilks have been consistent with so many other season-starters getting long term injuries or not quite performing.
I think Maidstone and Dorking (when they beat Ebbsfleet next weekend) will find life a lot tougher than we did in the NLP and we may find ourselves replacing one of them for season 23/24 - hopefully.
What do I Know?
