The Hoff 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Does anyone think we should affiliate with Dartford? I believe it would be good for both clubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
William Darby 0 Posted July 10, 2009 We could use Delia''s Brain Wave Model of the Parma one we had.... whooooooops that was a non starter, just BS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JuanVelasco 27 Posted July 10, 2009 [quote user="The Hoff"]Does anyone think we should affiliate with Dartford? I believe it would be good for both clubs. [/quote]I think that its a rubbish idea. What would we get out of it? Dartford would want something out of it, probably cash, and we would be sitting their in the hope that a Cody McDonald comes along..... when in reality he is a once in a decade player for them. Could we loan players to them? whats the point when we could quite easily loan players to Kings Lynn instead, or indeed to conference clubs? If a kid isnt good enough to play conference football, then he isnt worth keeping on. E.g. Kris Renton. Couldnt score for Kings Lynn = Not good enough.Then whilst we dedicate our resources to Dartford, the next Cody McDonald will emerge in some other lower league team and we will all be saying "Why dont we affiliate with Enfield" (who incidently sold us Lee Marshall for 15k) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Holt 520 Posted July 10, 2009 How do we know Cody McDonald isn''t going to be utter crap and just a flash in the pan?Im sorry but..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dartfordboy 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Yes Please!But seriously, if Cody turns out to be half decent for you then I think affiliation should be considered. We have a habit of producing good young talent which often end up in the league (E.G. Dave Martin, now at Milwall). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Jedi 0 Posted July 10, 2009 What do you mean by "affiliation" - nothing official can exists, and it''s just gentleman''s agreements/ clubs who get on with each other - like what we have already with Dartford... so stop pretending that Football Manager game features are somehow real, please, it''s embarrassing!

No Quarter 0 Posted July 10, 2009 I would love to be affiliated/connected with a "real" football club such as Dartford. Even if it means playing each other every pre season and no more. I would rather be "friends" with a club like that, than try chasing/kissing the arse of some Premiers**t "feeder" club. I really hope Dartford have a great season, and that we have a good laugh/p*ss up with their loyal fans tomorrow. Bring it on. Come on Dartford!! (except tomorrow!!!)

The Great Wall Of Tettey 0 Posted July 10, 2009 or we could just not affiliate, and if we see a good player, just go get him like we did cody :)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JuanVelasco 27 Posted July 10, 2009 [quote user="Bryan Bryan Gunn"]or we could just not affiliate, and if we see a good player, just go get him like we did cody :)![/quote]Exactly. We might be signing a Cambridge City player..... the way things are going we will be ''affiliated'' with every non league club in the South! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
