    What about people who cant travel far, or who can’t invest a whole day to go to Cheltenham? Is it ok for them to attend? 
    Just pay the £10 and watch at home.

    This could be our derby in two seasons’ time. 
    Dartford, Ebbsfleet and Charlton all in the same league.

    Charlton tv? I follow dartford and welling and try and go once a year but not when Charlton are playing at home or on stream. Even if Charlton aren't on stream, I'm on here following the match report. I couldn't focus on the other match. I wasn't digging people for going, I just can't focus on other games if charlton are playing. If the game was a pm kick off, I would have suggested it as a day out on my friends group chat but charlton comes first.

    I hope all local teams lose, I want us to be the team everyone supports and we go on to total world domination with a 200,000 sold out stadium .

    1-1 at HT St Albans look the better side.

    Chin goes off injured after half an hour, proper Charlton

    Chin was Dartford's best player. Gutted he picked up an injury as it would have been good to see him play the full game. Dartford just playing long ball. St A better team but their defence looks poor and CH seems to have been injured.

    After a poor 2nd half, the subs perked us up. But it's been a game of few clear chances

    Dartford keeper should have saved that last pen.

    Over 3200 in attendance today. Enjoyed the game, though it could have gone on for another 30 mins and I still don’t think anyone would have clinched a winner

    TBH St Albans play good football - Dartford just hoof ball - no complaints with the result

    Dartford were really poor. They played much better football under King. It was just constant hoof ball.

    Yes, Dartford's football is a lot more basic than in previous seasons.

    Football under Steve King comes at a financial premium.

    Interesting that the NLN and NLS finals are being played very close to each other, the NLN one in Brackley, the NLS one in Oxford, 30 minutes drive away

    Gutted about that, but going into play offs with a run of good form is the best way to win, and Dartford's form was very patchy. Great achievement to finish second but sadly it all leaves a sour taste .

    Went to the game against Chelmsford last month, and was surprised how basic Dartford were, and Chelmsford played round them, no surprise a team that gets it down won

    Never a great lover of any play offs but understand the reason why its done,  certainly keeps the season alive for a lot of teams.

    but in the NLS/NLN the team finishing 6th could go up and in the NLN that team finished 25 points behind second place,

    Dartford should dust themselves down and go again like Ebbsfleet have, would be easy for me to gloat especially after last years defeat they suffered, and the joy that erupted here, but good luck for next season...probably cross over.

    Tough Dartford came second in the league,but did not go up.
    Should have won hit the cross bar three times.
    St Albans played possession football.
