Dartford 2 Ebsfleet 1

Just feels oddly small in terms of seating Dave, the breeze block wall doesn't help

Poxy game, poxy weather, left just after half time to go and warm up in The Rose (which stinks of dogs)
You can see the new stand is all about hospitality and conferences

Stage one replaces the 100 year old wooden stand taking dressing rooms, all corporate facilities/offices, club shop and community hub under one roof. Hence the fact that there are only a few row of seats in the front as the current facilities are, to put it bluntly, not fit for purpose.

Stage 1a replaces the Plough end & supporters bar. This will start in the summer and provide community facilities, as well as a new supporters club bar. Stage 1b will be built on the Swanscombe end with community facilities below. The old Stand, Stage Two, will be the last to go.

Hope that helps!

Be carefull mate the ebbsfleet bashers wont be happy with that...southends away end wasnt as good as that yesterday.

Haters will always hate. ;-)

Remember, it isn't fininshed yet, lots of work to do. It was vital to get new facilities in place first so there was always going to be a compromise over amount of seats with the limited space available on the Stonebridge Road side. If you go on Gravesham planning portal all the plans are on there.

Looks like the Berlin Wall - the architect must be age 12

Always been a shit hole ground - always will be - when the overseas owner loses interest (let's face it he is only involved because he is involved in the paramount theme park, and do we think that will actually happen ???), Ebbsfleet will be up shit street

Given the money they have spent, and continue to spend, in today's game was there much between the two sides...............nope

Shame they didnt show the same commitment at maidenhead.

Maidenhead also have the highest paid managerr in this league.. But dont mention that.

Do you honestly believe this bloke will hang around if paramount doesn't go ahead ??

The money they are spending for the level they are at is crazy

And despite all that Maidenhead are above them !!!!

I will admit that I am a Dartford boy and a Dartford season ticket holder and I was there today and I loath Ebbsfleet from a football perspective

But.............I fear that they are going to come a cropper in the future

What did the wondeful darts do with the national league and tv money... Remembering you finished nigh bottom and got a reprieve

Lived within their means pal

Was going to ask what was happening at Maidenhead, did they land some cash?

I've seen the Fleet a few times in the last couple of years, and for all the money, the team does look average.

BOOM - average sums it up

I agree bottle it when it matters... Too many losers quoting idiotic sums being thrown about. Shows you cant spend your way out... No maidenhead have alan devonshire at the helm. Of course jealous darters would not want any money people coming in. They would turn it down. Rather the council wouldnt let them.

Maidenhead are currently 10 points clear, don't forget Fleet were 15 clear before they cocked it up last season and Sutton went on their run. Long way to go still.

Yes, Dr. Abdullah is going to stick around and Paramount Park is going to happen. KEH own all the land now.

Agree that there wasn't much between teams today, but then again Tony B did come set up for the draw. Weather didn't help as well.

Still it has to be said that non-league football is very healthy in North Kent with both matches attracting 2.5k attendance.

Fair play - so do you think they will get to football league ?

Last season - for me - Sutton were the best team by far - however they are average in the National - can you see Fleet in league two ?

BTW I'm still a long way convinced paramount will happen !!!!!

Good for them now lets see you turn up for the rest of the season

Ehh ????

I'm a season ticket holder and follow away as well - more enjoyable than my last few seasons at the valley I can assure you !!!

@Lordflashheart too much money tied up now in Paramount for it not to happen.

Given how many homes are being built within walking distance of Stonebridge Road, I can see Fleet eventually doing it. Crazy thing is that if Charlton had any sense they'd be going after these "new" residents also.

Went to London after last Fleet home game amazed at how many West Ham came back into Ebbsfleet Station, they are tapping into it, that worries me more.

Tarpey will be gone this window? Certainly sounded that way on the Non league Football Show

I meant your team

Ok sorry - misunderstood

Well - Maidenhead was not good, but they seem to be punching well above their weight (squad wise) but Tarpey is on fire - we had a man sent off in poor circumstances

For me - not biased - on Boxing Day we had a team who fought and we're together (Darts) and an expensive squad of players who like the money (Ebbsfleet) - today was v close but we lost

I honestly fear for Ebbsfleet - if the sugar daddy finds a new interest or simply loses interest then how is their outlay sustainable.......and I do love a north kent derby !!!
