The Dart(s) Board

The final two games for each side around us...

4: Brentwood Town: Cheshunt (A), Chichester City (H)
5: Chatham Town: Potters Bar Town (A), Lewes (H)
6: Dartford: Chichester City (A), Cray Valley Paper Mills (H)
7: Cray Wanderers: Welling United (H), Burgess Hill Town (A).

My thoughts for each on ...

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 ...

Quite windy, very bobbly pitch and their 6 really should have had two yellows. With all that, happy to be 2-0 up but we created enough chances that it should be 3 or 4

That is correct

1,950 is no longer a requirement at step 3, which is why it’s a minimum requirement for promotion to step 2, even before the 31st March deadline for 3,000

The reason I mention it is that, per league rules, if Brentwood’s capacity is under 1,950 they aren’t even eligible for playoffs, meaning 6th ...

Don’t want to look like I’m clutching at straws here, but are Brentwood even eligible for promotion? My understanding is that NLS teams need to have a 3,000 capacity ground


That's true, but there's always the caveat that allows them to go up if they have plans in place to upgrade the ground ...

Come back at FT when it's either 2-2 or 2-3.

Bet you’re gutted coz you look like exactly what you are.

To be fair to the lad it did finish 3-2, just not the way he wanted

Great videos as usual Kev

I need to lie down

My nervous system could really do with us scoring a third tbh

Bosh

Get in

Glad to see Tennent and Whitefield are both starting as they are our two best CBs in my opinion COYD

Strangely worded from CAFC then. Why are they talking about women’s football when it’s an offer for admission to men’s?

(I’m all for women’s football, women at men’s football, women in general… just found it very confusing!)

Oh my bad haha

Gonna be honest I didn’t even realise this was an April Fool’s joke. I just assumed from the wording it meant free entry to women’s games

Can imagine the confusion for the poor guy on the turnstile as half the travelling support come out as trans for no apparent reason
