They lost their first 6 matches last year, including 5-0 on the opening day, but ended up having a solid mid-table season. They have the same manager and core of players, plus a few decent new recruits, so they may just be slow starters.

Still no replacement groundsman and it appears that the sprinklers are still not working. It’s a shame after all Jays efforts that it’s being allowed to get like this. Hopefully since Sunday it has at least been cut. Looking forward to our first home game of the season.

It’s despicable and ignored they are getting away with this.

Dover entrance is£15 but guess what, you can buy a bundle of 5 for £67 right now.
That’s £13.4 per ticket.

Local community for people who can’t commit to a season ticket or even floating fans.

Yet were alienating a certain demographic.
I’m one of them.

They don’t care about me so I don’t care about the boys club that run the club mostly for its mates.

Most expensive in the league and in most cases by a long way.
The boys club not said much on this.




Youth 13-16 £5, why not 13-17.
17 is £10 on its own, 17 years old is still in education, if you’re a footy fan at 17 but not affiliated to Dartford why would you go there?


Why can’t there be a reduced price for 18-21?
So someone on a decent salary will pay the same as an 18 year old in education.
No family tickets no bundle tickets nothing.



Welling is £16 adult
17 year old is £8
Under 11s free
Students £11, this can be any age and takes into account those in education.
My 39 year old partner is a student.
A much, much higher level, where’s a floating fan going to gp, young, old or a family.

Before I get the usual boys club rhetoric I’ve been living in Dartford for over 20 years, this is my local team and there can never be anyone else.

I’m calling things as I see them and my attendance at home will drop massively for the first time since I can remember.
I will go as many away games as possible.

Most of you will hate this post but if you’re honest you won’t disagree with a lot of it.

Agree with you 100% Kent C
The club have got the pricing wrong. Not enough thought went into the pricing , lazy attitude to the pricing
The youth pricing should have been extended to 18 year olds
All the pricings are at least £1 too much. Just compare with rivals.
