I’m guessing that if he’s come through their academy and constantly been put out on loan then they would be entitled to a fee a bit like Olly going to Ebbsfleet and then having to pay us a fee.Bagdhad Billy wrote: Wed Jun 17, 2026 2:34 pm Dover have said we paid a fee for Fiddes !

Bloody hell, I've wet myself.
Again.
A productive day. Hope the kid's are up to it. But quite happy so far.

Re: DFC Player updates 26/27
It’s been a great day for signings and there certainly seems to be some goalscorers amongst them.
This could hopefully be a great season.
Welcome to Dartford Gianluca & welcome back Louie

A real mix of experience and young adults for next season. I am actually looking forward to a season for the first time in a while! I am fairly sure the latest signing was a real handful against us and scoring 20+ goals for Wingate is a real sign he must have a bit of quality about him

Re: DFC Player updates 26/27
He came through the Reading academy mate then had a stint in Scotland with Queens Park before going to Dover, I went on their website and on the retained list they triggered a second year option on him so I’m guessing the fee was bcus he was under contract for another year.The 5th Searcher wrote: Wed Jun 17, 2026 3:33 pmI’m guessing that if he’s come through their academy and constantly been put out on loan then they would be entitled to a fee a bit like Olly going to Ebbsfleet and then having to pay us a fee.Bagdhad Billy wrote: Wed Jun 17, 2026 2:34 pm Dover have said we paid a fee for Fiddes !

Great to see a young striker with bags of potential coming to us from a NLS side who wanted to retain him. Recent signings fill me with a lot more confidence than last seasons additions.
Hoping for a good season fingers crossed.

Re: DFC Player updates 26/27
That's a shame I quite liked Jacob.
Re: DFC Player updates 26/27
I wonder if Jacob is going to Ramsgate,
I see they have annouced that they will train in Gavesend as Pennock is having trouble attracting players to travel to Ramsgate, When will he realise its him not the traveling
