Will be a tough game Tomorrow. Hemel Hempstead currently sit 4th in the league table, picking up wins against Dorking and slough and drawing against promotion candidates, Maidstone.

Your right it will be a tough game. I think without getting another goalscoring forward we are light up front with or without Andy Carroll. Reggie Young has now been added to our injury list which is a big blow and not sure how long Dieng is out but most likely a few weeks.
Morale is low for both the team and supporters and the longer it goes without a win the worse it will be but just hoping we can get the three points tomorrow.

I can’t see us winning. Summer holidays and we’re in a relegation battle

Another defeat given both teams starts, remember don’t boo or criticize anybody as they might have a mental breakdown. Enjoy.

I suspect a heavy loss, 4 or 5 nil and Bradbury to get a contract extension.

Only reason why I’m going today is because my first ever Daggers game was against Hemel Hempstead in the Athenian League way back in the very early 70’s, as I recall it was 1-1. As a kid I spent most of the game running around on the mound at the Pondfield road end, how things have changed! Nostalgia is a strange thing but football has changed and so has the club, from signing keen young players with ambition and something's to prove to what we have now.. journeymen looking for one last payday and who don’t give a toss about the club and players who are nothing more than average at best with no chance of progression in the future because they have already surpassed expectations, After the debacle of the ownership merry go round in the last few years I despair what the future holds, certainly not the success overseen by Dave Andrews and his predecessors, the club being used as a plaything for non footballing executives and foreign chancers is slowly wringing the lifeblood out of the Daggers and the future looks extremely bleak

Well said mate. I'm only going because it's a bank holiday. Nothing else.

I walked by the boardroom across the steps from the upstairs bar and did not see him there. This is where he was pointed out to me when I was at the stadium and getting a tour on Tuesday.

I did ask about you, just in case you had a chance to make it to the game.
I'll be back at some point and will have more time. I will be sure to let others be aware.

That would be good.
I don't think I'm going to be allowed back into the ground seeing that we won when I was not present.
Have a safe journey home xx
