For those that have never visited my main page http://thedarts.eu/
I started it in 2006 & gradually built up more & more stats/records.

The header of the page is broken as Adobe removed Flash, so my animated header is no longer.
One day I will put the static one back. Although it still works with Flash browser Add-ons.

I also ran:
http://dfc21.co.uk (2007-2010)
http://dfc18.co.uk (2007-2009)
http://sonytino.co.uk for a few years

I still have online all the notes that the U21 (Henno) & U18 (Andy Weeks) Managers emailed to me.

I hosted the Ryman Bulletins (2007-2013) after being given the OK by the Ryman League.
I still remember the phone call with Bruce Badcock the League secretary.

Dartford players 2009-10: http://www.thedarts.eu/2009-2010/team/team0910.htm

The older teams are also on my website as links to other websites.

I maintain a player profile page:
http://thedarts.eu/profiles/profiles.html
I got all my updates from the forum.
Without the forum, there would be no point in having that page.

I also created TomTom sat nav files for many years, the current one:
TomTom Sat Nav Locations for National South (still valid for 2021-2022).
Including spreadsheet & Google Earth .KML file is here:
http://thedarts.eu/national_south_2020_2021.zip

I might give that up for next season as it was always a PITA.

All the links above and more are on http://thedarts.eu
Links to all the clubs, social media links, forums etc etc

The only thing that I know is inaccurate are the yellow/red cautions in the tables I have.
It's currently ok for this season as I checked with Peter Martin, but if I was out 6 games in,
then the previous seasons will be out too. Our twitter feed is just useless in this respect
as it never mentions all the bookings.

Really comprehensive oeuvre and probably way overlooked. I sometimes get lost in it all and wonder why I don’t visit more often. Do check it out peeps.

Definitely check Rick’s site out. I often use it to help with research for the match previews. For instance finding out how many appearances some former Darts (now at Hythe) played for us. *goes off to add an extra paragraph to the match preview* spoilers!

I wasn't aware of all this going on all these years, and a quick look at some of the links recalls memories of previous years teams. Stats and info will be worth further delving.
Well done Rick for doing all this, and for taking on Gary's invaluable work with this forum. For those of us living away from our native North Kent, the forum has been a great source of up-to-date information and gossip about The Darts, with teams, goal updates, and informed comment from those attending matches, plus lively discussions on anything vaguely related to our obsession.
Good luck, keep it up.

We was always very appreciative of your support & our U18s website. It’s nice to reminisce! Good luck with the forum.

Thanks Clare. I can't remember why I started the website off - maybe it
was because nothing was on the official site for either the U18 nor the U21
sides, so I started both of them up. Probably cringeworthy for the players
these days if their photos are online from 2008, but it is what it is.
No erasing history here :D
