Sam Odaudu was on the 3G pitch at PP today according to his Instagram story. Not sure whether that’s good news that he’s still around the club or bad news that he’s around but hasn’t signed

I expected Olly Box to leave for the sake of his career. If he was my son I’d be saying he can do better than Dartford. Obviously as a Dartford fan that is hard to take. Harder still is his choice of Ebbsfleet, but where else would he go?

Being one of our best players he was a marked man. He might benefit in a higher division from not being such a target. He’ll definitely benefit from being full-time.

We will miss him more than we think, but we can replace him to an extent. If we don’t re-sign Eddie and the two Sams then we have a big whole. I expect at least one of those three to not play for us again. That’s where we are.

Good luck Oly I might even pop along to watch you when the Darts aren’t playing such a quality player.

What a fake fan, going to Ebbsfleet and supporting them.

Something I have been wrongly accused of in the past

Agree with all of that, DD. Hard as it is to accept as a fan, we just aren’t a very attractive proposition these days, particularly for a young upstart like Box looking to springboard his career. I am slightly fearful of the potential chasm there could be between ourselves and King’s Eastbourne next season.

Of all the comments you can make, you calling anyone a “fake fan” is the biggest pot, kettle and black in history.

It’s like you’ve done it on purpose, I refuse to believe anyone is that stupid.

Hope to see you at Stonebridge Road next season and I’ll buy you a bovril, friend

Woah, never thought he’d admit it! Maybe now that Mark’s outed himself as a G&N fan he’ll finally leave?

Shame about Eddie - but good luck to you

Unfortunately Eddie has decided to leave, absolutely gutted as I hoped that this would be his season.

Good Luck Eddie where ever you go.

This is not looking good is it

I see George Moncur has left Ebbsfleet, what are the chances of grabbing him?

Absolutely gutted Eddie is leaving, this for me is by far the biggest loss.

He's a "special" player and a goalscoring machine and were it nor for the idiot ADYos not playing him (and keeping his love child in the team every week), i think he would have stayed (and we'd probably made the play offs last season as well).

The real sickener is everyone still at the club rates him highly and i'm sure this season he would have been the main man.......gutted.

Posted: **Sat Jun 06, 2026 1:11 pm**

It’s a real shame that Eddie is not staying but obviously it hurt him being marginalised for two years by Ade and in practice I would guess that left a sour taste for Eddie towards DFC. This is understandable when you have a manager that panders to his favourites.
No hard feelings towards Eddie and I wish him luck wherever he goes.
If goes without saying that this leaves us light up front and Ben has a job on his hands to find quality to support Dan. I would suggest he has a serious look and talk with Kai Brown who has decided to leave Waltham Abbey. He is an excellent footballer and scores Lots of goals, I believe 30 last season so no doubt he will have no shortage of takers

I'll do the player updates in a few minutes when this has been clarified????

I’ve never been a fan of DFC’s social media strategy, but seriously what is this?? Unless they’re announcing that he’s staying, this is beyond amateur

I might be wrong but i'm led to believe he's going somewhere else.........
