The Dart(s) Board

I think this is now a critical period in the history of our football club.

Having seen the heights that can be reached by our club and those that have progressed even further such as Bromley, management now needs to decide if we push for success once again or merely seek to eek out an existence ...

Went to this match with the good lady yesterday and enjoyed a thoroughly entertaining afternoon in the sunshine.

The match was a little one-sided with Newhaven only managing one shot. However, they defended well in numbers and had a keeper that had great positional understanding. She always ...

Can't believe that we have conceded another late equaliser, this time to bring our season to a premature end. It cannot end quickly enough now. Poor recruitment, under-prepared for the first competitive matches, dreadful disciplinary record, dreadful defending, FA Cup embarrassment, likewise the ...

Yes, at the Chatham match.

Our game management still gives me concern. Late in the match yesterday we had a throw on the left wing in line with the penalty box. We went for goal, which I was very happy with as Chatham looked uncomfortable with high balls in to the box. On this occasion, the header looped up towards the keeper ...

Good performance from Dartford today, even if we did switch off to concede the second goal. Convinced the first goal was due to a foul being missed (not the only one) by the ref.

Dartford once again caused Chatham all manor of problems and only blatent holding prevented us from having more shots ...

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 ...

The Easter Saturday results have now put the pressure on Dartford.

There are really only two games that matter on Monday. Welling travel to Brentwood looking for points to secure their safety for another season. They have been scoring regularly in their recent matches and this match could go ...

Hoping that our season is not about to come to a premature end. We can surely get something from this match. Let us hope the half-time talk has been inspiring.

Come on you DARTS!

This could be the most interesting set of fixtures remaining this season. By Saturday evening, our chance of achieving a play-off position might be much stronger provided that we beat Carshalton. Carshalton have only lost one of their last five league games, but four of those were against teams in ...

Big weekend in the promotion race coming up. Folkestone will be champions if they win at home to Carshalton and Aveley lose at home to Cray Wanderers. Dartford sit ten points behind Aveley with just six games to play. If Cray win, the gap drops to seven points with five to play. That just might be ...

Ajaxman, you did not miss a classic. Ebbsfleet came to frustrate and defend and they executed their plan very well. They were very physical throughout whilst only rarely overstepping the mark. The one major incident of the first half could have seen three early baths, two to the away team, but the ...

Good point today away at the league leaders. Football is a crazy game. In the previous six league matches we have either scored just one goal, or we have failed to score. We then travel to play the team with the best home record in the league that had conceded just eleven goals in seventeen games ...

Much as this away victory was a reason for rejoicing, the harsh fact is that over the last five matches we have only gained points on Aveley (2pts) of the teams above us. We remain three points and ten goals adrift of the last play-off place with eight games left. I expect that we can only afford ...

I was initially angry that I missed almost ten minutes standing on the pavement in a slow moving queue after the 96 route suffered a blip and two eventually arrived together. However, I now realise that I did not miss anything. The traffic was probably more entertaining. Sadly, I think Welling must ...

Before today, Potters Bar had conceded forty goals in fifteen league matches at home. Canvey Island are the only other away team that has failed to score in a league match against them at their own ground.

We started with two of our best players on the bench and a loan player making his debut on ...

I think he was showing solidarity with his forwards. He actually threw it at me. I was standing on the touchline in line with the penalty area.

Spike has made a very good brief description of how we got where we are. The circumstances surrounding the loss of Watling Street remain a source of frustration to this day to some of us as those responsible were never held to account.

Circumstances this time are a little different as the club does ...

Quick post as heading to ther pub. Great to win so late in the game against opponents who spent the match conning and controlling the ref. Whilst I am pleased for Eddie to get the headline, the ball was served on a silver platter and he only had the keeper to beat. Carter, or whoever it was, ran out ...

Surely he can come out with Brentwood at the start of the match as their mascot. That would give Dartford fans the chance to show their appreciation and him a chance to experience that walk out at PP for, perhaps, one last time.

No favours once the match starts, though.
