Retuen of the Duke for Season 2025/25

[The Duke]

Hi fellow Dart fans ,l1st team shirt ots of thinks have happened to me since September 2024 which meant that despite buying a season ticket and a 1st team shirt I was [for health reasons] unable to get to both home and way away but managed to stay in touch through the Forum plus match/gossip from Gilesy and Jonti whose Texts and Phone calls ere invaluable and they have proven to be real friend s, even calls from ^ Pete aka "The bishop of Tranmere" were enjoyed

obvoiusly like the rest I was disappointed that we didnt get promoted but Ade did a great job in bringing a " Genuinity " back to the club [[ after the previous clown "] and building a team from scratch and gaining the REAL Fans confidence , I was pro him from the start and delighted it worked out so well

As for the coming season I will be tuned in for Games and really looking forward to listening and the Forum and the new web site is impressive I will be buying a 1st team shirt in August which Jonty will collect for me at the DFSA shop [,which 1am a member and hoping to win the warbler monthly draw
Unlikeky that I will be able to physically get to PP but who knows still got an active brain re football even IF the body wont behave and will be adding my thoughts/cmments on the matches

So enjoy the season , I aim too !!!!!!

Regards
DAVE

Lovely to hear from you again Duke. Ade had us all believing again with a great squad and a few individuals that gave us all pleasure last season.
Hopefully they go one step further.
Perhaps the next time you are up at PP we'll be stepping out in the NLS.

Great your on the mend Dave, fingers crossed for another cracking season with just a few more points than last year . Not sure where you live but if around Medway and need a lift etc to get to the game and some help to get to the seats let me know I would gladly help mate

Hello Duke,

Great to hear from you, you are missed on the terraces for sure. Look forward to seeing your posts on here, always worth a read.

Take care of yourself and hope to see you sometime soon.

Hi Duke glad to see your post and I wish you all the best for your health. It will be a delight to read your posts during the season if you can manage it.

[Jonty]

It was great to see you yesterday Dave, sharp and witty as always. On the ball with everything that’s going on in and around the club. Will keep you updated with regular text messages during matches.

Good to hear from you Dukey. Two seasons ago you came along on the coach to Weymouth and had a great time, your absence since that season has been notable. Fingers crossed we might see you at PP again, sadly there’s no chance of us coming down to the Gallagher, unless a cup draw is thrown up [tic!] All the best.

Great to see you back posting on the Forum Duke and glad to hear you've lost none of your Darts interest and seem to be well up to date with the current activities at Princes Park. You'll enjoy the match commentaries by Will Bass at our home games. Will be looking forward to once again reading your comments.

Can't really believe that Darts opened up with a 0-4 defeat today whilst Tranmere beat a relegated Shrewsbury Town 4-0 in their first home game of the season.

Will hopefully make contact with you soon, after the weekend, after visiting family have returned home.

Cheers Dave

Thanks Guys for your kind comments I certainly enjoyed the company/banter with the Darts Fans and honestly miss it . Given the opportunity to a [healthily] return to PP for games would be a bonus , need to wait and see what 2026 brings
