The Darts hit the bullseye of promotion after 26 years of hurt

May. 14 | I’ve never really hidden my admiration for the progress Dartford have made on and off the pitch in the past few seasons.  Just a year or so ago I waxed lyrical about my upbringing just down the road from Watling Street and my afternoons spent running...

The blue print for Non League football – 1 year on

May. 5 | Last March, after really diving in head first into the non league game, I took stock of the game I had come to watch week in week out and put pen to paper (well, finger to laptop) and wrote a nine-point blue print for the future of Non League football....

All is fair in love and football

Apr. 2 | You do feel for clubs that are penalised with points penalties through no fault of the current players or management team. You feel even sorrier for the fans. I know from bitter experience as a West Ham fan over the whole Tevez affair that your name...

The TBIR Blueprint for the future of Non League football – part 3

Mar. 29 | So six down, four to go in our agenda for change for the Non League game. Parts one and two have gone down like a bacon sandwich on a hungover Sunday morning. Finding three (you will see why not four at the end of this post) was incredibly hard as there...
