lol - wimbledon the aint and they wont go up next year so it will be interesting to see what happens to them and their fairweather fans when they finish mid-table next year

Done be we got a nice fee for Keds and i am sure Charlies would be bigger from a tribunal.

Charlie will stay Fordy is good for him and if he bangs in a few early in the season a league club will come sniffing. Dover arent consistent have had money troubles and its a long way down there every week.

Charlie would be mental to go there. Hes on the right track at Welling.

It was the attitude . They are posting lots of names and just assuming that a) they can afford them and b) the player would just go to Dover.

It wasnt a "look out charlies doing to the Frenchies" post.

They really are showing how big billys gonads are again down there. I loved Parmenters quote that they wont be in Blue Sq South for long. I would P1ss myself if they did a Weymouth, Lewes, Fisher, Horchurch and had to release their players and ran out of money.

Then i could bring his quote up and say Right Again! good luck in the Ryman. I cannot believe a club that had the begging buckets out and really said if you dont pay we could go under... has then bought 2 promotions is paying conference wages and is being BBB and saying they will sign who they want and win the league lol.

I just hope we tank them twice.

The victims in all Dover are the small business' of Dover that no longer exist thanks to being shafted by the CVA.

They did get Alan Pouton to drop from League 1 to Ryman South 1 in a summer at the age of 30. I doubt they could have done that without some serious ££££££££££££££££££££££££££.

Their manager's last job was in the Championship, he dropped SIX divisons within 2 years! I wonder what would motivate somebody to do that £££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££.

It'll all end in tears, and like Weymouth before them I will laugh and laugh and laugh.

1) 1000ish Crowds = More money
2) How on earth do you have any idea what our budget is like?
3) Signing young players released from football league clubs is hardly spending £££££££.
4) I reckon our wage budget is little different to yours

Item number 4 just makes me laugh!  its probably twice that of Wellings, i havent got a major problem with teams with bigger support spending the money but pretending that you have the same budget as us is a joke.

do me a favour when you guys go bust or have a large bill come in dont come to this board asking for money as you have all the signs of Weymouth Mark II.

Cant beat a bit of Banter. Let Dover show their penis envy and throw money at trying to buy the league. We all know their past history. Whilst we have played at this Level and the one above for longer than our French Friends they will always be a small club near calais and not as good as us.

I would like to defend my team here.

Yes, Dover have had financial difficulties in the past and we were penilised by it by getting relegated in continuous seasons and ended up in Ryman South 1. These were obviously not good times for the club and no one expected us to be down there for too long. Maybe this was our arrogance or due to the current managerial team. However, we did back bounce with 'Hess & Hare' and under a new board of directors who have shown their belief in the club to invest in it personally and run the club as a business. We have cleared our debts and now run a mainly profit football club due to our extremely large fan base for the leagues we were in. The support of our club has always been great. In fact why were our attendances large than yours even when we were getting relegated and staying in the Ryman South when you were being rather consistant in the Conference leagues.

Maybe we benefit from having no other bigger club in our area? If so, great. Its working for us. And as for you saying we are spending the pounds here and there, we are rumoured to be on the same budget Clive Walker was on, although that is a rumour and being a professionally run club we do not release these figures. Also, having a high standard Centre Spot/Club house has been benefitical to us, only being open if we are assure that it will gain more money that it is wasting keeping it operated. This is extremely efficient for the long-term of our club. We also hire it out publicy. Bonus.

As for the playing staff, yes we have a large squad of quality players, some of which people suggest cost the club a few grand. Well the majority of our signings were on a free as the players were out of contract. We also have a very effective youth development which is only going to get better with our academy in Faversham. People like Pouton came out of retirement due to persistant injury problems and enjoys working with Hess. Maybe our contacts are greater and people want to play under a wonderful player and management duo. Plus, we can also afford higher wages if that what everyone boasts about due to our club attendances and board backing. Maybe if your club had more supporters and a more ambitious board and manager you would have pushed for Football League status by no. It's not our fault are club is raising back to the levels we should be playing at; Conference football. Arrogance? No.

Rant over, sorry for any spelling errors in the post.

'Ambitious non-league club' is code for 'over spending boom and bust club'.

To be fair, Dover is the sort of place that should be able to naturally sustain Conference National club. It really has taken some **** management to end up at such a low over the past 7 years. It's just dissapointing to see no lessons be learned and same boom and bust mentality being taken.

I would put money on Sheringham going to Dover or at least them offering a huge wad to tempt him down there. Dover will be up there next season. They are paying top dollar and with a big name manager can attract good players. However it would not be surprising if in a few years time they do a Weymouth. If you live in Dover you need something to cheer so good luck to them.

Let's hope we get them at home on Boxing Day and give them a good stuffing!

WE ARE WELLING!

and if that means spending only money we have and still being here long term, that is what we do, and we should do it to best of our collective ability, which we are doing fairly well at the moment.

If that means we sometimes get run over and larged at by people spending what they haven't got, that is a hazard of the territory.

However, if they get turned over by us, or fall apart, expect it back with interest and no sympathy (which is more than can be said for those short changed by CVAs). The same goes for those short cutting the regulations


And if league's decided whether they were going to be 'decided on the pitch' or within ALL their regulations (and transgressors were just ignored in the final analysis, the highest placed qualify team within the rules getting their appropriate reward, regardless of if they were 22nd) then that might reduce some of the shady sh*t as the reward would be gone or we'd all be on the same terms.

Rant over!

Time for bed said Zebedee.....

I think there is a good chance of Charlie staying and not being tempted by the money.

Firstly if we keep a good nucleus of our sqaud this season then theres the incentive to stay on at a club where you have mates etc and know the set up well, especially as we seem to have some sort of aspirations of playing higher up the pyramid.

Secondly I'm sure Charlie lives locally in the London area - hell of a way to travel for games, training etc just for a few extra notes down on the Kent coast.

Now if AFC Wombles or someone likewise came in then I'd be more worried.

Stand By the buckets may be out at Dover sooner than you think, but they will say all is ok just like last time.

Will the Chairman want to throw all his money (If he has got any) at the club on his own?

Poor Old Dover... Lets see if Hess joins as a Director shall we?

oh i see the numpty number one is still spouting drivel and you lot at welling folllow him like an ostrich with ur head in the sand, or is that ur heads up jgfc's rather large arse

Thanks for that.

Whilst JgFc and I will never be bestest friends, and I often disagree with the way he puts his views over, I do believe that he made a cash contribution to your last dire situation last time around.

Making a contribution does not excuse making threats of violence on the Dover Foum though, does it?

Although I never contributed to Dover Football Club last time they were skint and going under, I have heard so many people, say how much they put in, I'm surprised that Dover are not a rich as Chelsea.
