The conference south next year and Dartford reprieved!

[York Alty]

Well, that makes six new grounds for me next season! Seriously, it may have taken time but I think it's a correct decision.

Good to see these overspending clubs being rooted out and dealt with

[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

Awesome! That is all. 

[B. 4D]

About time.
Salisbury have done the same before.
Some could say they are taking the piss.

[Leon]

Incredible that they've been given a new deadline of July 4th to secure Conf South membership. Presumably there will now be another, entirely blameless side who thought they'd been relegated from the Conf South who now won't know what division they're playing in till then?

[Mrs Warbouys]

I have no sympathy, but a day on the beer in delightful Salisbury or yet another bland outer London suburb is a no brainier so a bit sad in that respect

[SW]

Dartford's not actually that bad, it is no Salisbury for sure but it certainly is no Ebbsfleet either. A proper town centre with some ok pubs, a long walk out to the ground mind, perhaps not as far as Salisbury.

I enjoyed my last trip to ebbsfleet made very welcome by the locals

[SW]

I think the issue is about going away and spending some time in a nice place and doing more than the football, spending time in a nice place and sampling a few decent pubs. I've been in the pub by Ebbsfleet's ground but ok as it was for one, it was not exactly a destination pub.

[Jimmy]

Fair point the pub I went was nearer the train station not great but decent people as for home matches we also has very few good pubs like we once did

[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

I live in Northfleet literally just up the road from Ebbsfleet and the two pubs near my house are nice. Delighted to be playing just up the A2 at Dartford next season!

No sympathy for any club which tries to live beyond it's means especially when they've been there before and should know better.

A bit of a let down personally though. Salisbury is less than an hour away so could get easily get there even if it's an evening game. Ebbsfleet is a crap trip round the M25. Last time we played them I got as far as Leatherhead and then got stuck in a jam and missed the whole game.

The Good Beer Guide description for The Ivy Leaf on Darenth Road states that it's a 5 minute walk from Dartford Football Club. And The Malt Shovel is on the same road. What's not to like ?
