A truly shocking half of zilch quality from both teams. We were slightly better on the second half and deserved the late winner. However the fact is had we played any other team other than welling we would probably have lost.
Ade said twice in the post match interview he wants to see the fans on PP to make some noise but sadly the Board see it differently as the young fans are definitely not welcome. This is an incredibly stupid reaction to a few bad eggs. For godsake come to your senses and let them in and get decent stewards to deal with the bad eggs.
I am 100% certain if it wasn’t for the young fans supporting noisily in injury time that winning goal would not have happened. Surely there is one Board member that can knock some sense into the situation

Unfortunately our board don't realise that the youngsters are the future of the club.
Also I cannot see us progressing unless new Investment comes in .
Oh for the days when we're playing Luton,
Grimsby.,Mansfield and Port Vale.

I don’t think that they don’t realise I think they just aren’t interested in growing attendances or doing anything other than the easy option which is stopping them from coming to games.
I will be there Tuesday it will be interesting to see the attendance as I bet we had more fans at welling than we will have for a home game! I was told about 1k darts there yesterday, Ramsgate have 2 coaches coming apparently so I wonder if we will see our youth or are they going to stop admission again bcus of concerns from the previous games.

Youth are the future of every football club. Don't have them coming through the turnstiles, there will be no next generation of supporters to replace the ones that will have passed on. If the board can't see that or are unwilling to accept that, then they shouldn't be in charge of a football club. It's not just their play thing, it belongs to the community. Football clubs will die if it doesn't have supporters. Our board need to get their head out of their a***s and act, or change the constitution of the club, some of the board are living off past glories.
Playing the likes of Luton, Cambridge and Wrexham seem a distant memory now. Could be Three Bridges and Sittingbourne next season, how the mighty have fallen.

Above post - Think you are clearly being sarcastic (reading between the lines) but apologies if I am incorrect. Some would be happy with us in the 9th level as long as we have a club but many of us are ambitious in life generally and don’t want that - we should be Nat south minimum
Dartford have always had a club but the board really don’t seem to listen to people (like politicians)
Bring on a change in our model. We could have been a Bromley and look where Wrexham are too !!!
