The Dart(s) Board

Sorry Skip. Only just seen your message in response to my comment. I'm very very surprised your original post didn't attract more views or comments, to be honest.
I will be travelling down to the last game v Cray Valley, irrespective of the result this coming weekend. But if there is anything on ...

I found out recently that Dave’s wife, Jan, recently sadly passed away. Both Jan and Dave were a lovely couple and long time supporters of the club. Always used to enjoy chats with them both about the many ups and downs the Darts suffered over the years.

RIP Jan.

They had a record attendance set in September 2025 of 1574 Vs Billericay.

But it also says their highest attendance was 1661 vs Dulwich Hamlet in 2016.

Some sources (e.g., Wikipedia) indicate higher potential capacity (up to 3,000 in some reports), but 1,000 to 1,500 is the commonly cited ...

Great result and game in the PP sunshine !

That performance looked again like my Dartford - let’s go and smash Canvey now and make the two teams above us think we are on their backs

Great to see the legendary Ryan Hayes being recognised too - I stood and applauded but it did make me laugh to ...

I agree with Rambo. I believe that victory in each of our last four games would put us in the play-offs. Victory today will keep fourth place a possibility whilst any other result will see us in a battle with Brentwood for fifth.

I do not believe that we have finished fifth in any league since ...

So we're up against a team whose players have been battling against relegation, blissfully unaware that relegation was their club's objective. Having formally requested to get relegated anyway, the club are apparently seeking to make it even more official by securing an official relegation spot as ...

Haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere, it’s Non League day tomorrow isn’t it? Are we doing anything?

Edit. Seen it now.




Yes it is, the club have mentioned it and have reduced prices. I only found out because I read your post and checked the details. None of my neighbours knew this and we ...

Thanks for that link Skip. Long time no see. The article just goes to show how much goes on behind the scenes. It is also why I continue to buy my season ticket each year since the Darts returned to Dartford at Princes Park, even though I may only get down from Merseyside once or twice a season. I ...

I’m sure John will be there for the first 35 minutes…

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?

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.
