Xmas + The Run In Preview

It's been quite a disruptive festive period for the Darts and one in which our form on the pitch has "dropped" which could potentially be a reason for the the lack of noise on the terraces, especially at Princes Park. Fortuntely after the Boxing Day shambles both on and off the pitch, normal service has somewhat resumed. We went into Canvey and picked up a thumping 5-2 win which was obviously great but it was good to hear the choir back in good voice. We were close to the pitch and closer to the players and were able shouting lots more encouragement which I feel that the players fed off of although they would have been extra determined to put in a good performance and Robbie Haworth, Danny Harris and Lee Burns epitomised the word on that cold and rainy Tuesday night.

Then to Cray where we took huge support, as much as I've seen for quite sometime and were on song and in bouncy mood for large periods of the game. We quietened down during the 2nd half due to the fact that we were soaking up pressure like a sponge for most of it but it was good to now that we were back to winning ways both on and off the pitch.

It wouldn't be completely unfair for one to label Princes Park as the Old Trafford/Emirates Stadium of the Ryman League not just because of its quality as a stadium but because of the low volume of its supporters. As we approach crunch time this season, us fans must sort this problem out and raise our voices as we entertain the likes of Maidstone, Hastings and Canvey in the run in. Bognor is only 106 days away, and we will march there en mass, but lets ensure that we give the players the necessary support they need to ensure that we get there as Champions.
