The Dart(s) Board

Football Focus magazine has a 10 page spread on the Darts. See page 87 onwards. Nice to see the 5 year plan getting a mention…

About a dozen non league clubs featured including a couple from Kent (Folkestone and Faversham) plus my new home town side, Felixstowe & Walton.

Only those of a certain vintage, M1S…

Although probably the majority on this forum!

No idea mate, don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ll check Not The 9 o clock News.

A spin off from Not the nine o’clock news. You’ll love it, KentC

LR, not sure how long Ady’s contract has left which might also determine if the club can afford a dismissal even if they we’re currently considering it?

Try this link, LR

A fella called Ben Mapp has been delving into the stats on clubs relegated from the NLS to the ILP. Made for interesting reading although I’m not sure there’s anything positive in there for the Darts to cling onto.

Is anyone in yet? It’s 745pm now

Please tell Mick that Karen Leach has already twisted my arm and extracted £20 from my wallet…

Link has been received from Jack

Perhaps if the club could state when the link would be sent it might stop all these requests? Last year I received it a few hours in advance if I recall correctly.

Cheers.

Same here

I’ve emailed Jack again, too, 5 mins ago, asking for the link. No reply as yet.

Apparently Nobes and a few of the old core boys will be at the game Saturday. Nobes been injured all season and was desperate to play in this match when we spoke at the end of last season. Shame, I’m sure he would have received a fantastic ovation.

I personally really dislike the new play off system they've pushed into the national leagues and now seemingly we are going to adopt. It just rewards being mediocre and giving a team who finished in 7th PLACE a chance for promotion. Thats not right. Its all about the leagues getting more income ...

Perhaps it’s not all bad news. From next season, in steps 3 and 4, play off places will be extended to 7th position. No more worrying about grabbing that 5th spot. That should please the board …

Not sure the forum has been this quiet on the day of a match. Is the game on?

In the case of John Biddle’s sacking, our opposition that night was Weymouth and their supporters quite enjoyed the mass chanting of ‘Biddle out’…Happy days.

I remember it well standing behind the goal and at the end of the match rushing to get behind the main stand and ...

I remember him. It was the time when we went all American I think. The American style posts behind the football goals and shirts with two vertical stripes (like braces). Kicking cheap plastic footballs into the crowd for the kids to keep. Success on the pitch - not much!


You’re getting him ...

Lee Noble is still recovering from a knee injury and hasn’t appeared for Brentwood this season. However, he advises me that he will be at the ground on Saturday. I’m sure he’s looking forward to reminiscing with all the Darts supporters about that promotion final winning goal again…

To pick up a point from a previous post, I have no idea if Henly is good captain material or not. However, what I observe is that opponents' captains spend the entire match in the ear of the ref, constantly complaining and making observations and their opinions known. I am sure that this has an ...

Really sad news. Last time I had a really good chat with Duke was in the bar at Dulwich about 4-5 years ago when we covered all sorts of football related matter! Having read Duke’s post (copied on here by Trev) that he was in ill health it made me think of my own mortality. So many Darts supporters ...
