Dorking have yet to win there game in hand. Nothing is a foregone conclusion. Dartford are a good side and could easily win it. But then we’re the best side in the league and could also easily win it. I’ll prepare as much as I can for the worst but hope for the best. Having said that I do like the sound of Dave’s 3-0. However if I was a betting man (which I am) I’d go for a draw.

I drew up my predictions for the run-in 4 games ago. So far I've got ours exactly right and the points right for Dorking (if not the exact results), but Dartford have let me down with their draw with HHT - 2 points less than I predicted. Still, not bad.
If anyone's interested, I predicted 5 wins and a draw for Dorking's remaining 6 games, 4 wins and a draw for us, and 2 wins and 4 draws for Dartford. But that includes our game on Monday as a draw, which still feels wrong to me - head says 'draw', heart says 'win'. But that would have meant predicting we win every game - a ten game winning streak! - and that just seems too improbable.
Still think we're going to win, though... They'll have played just three days before, whereas we will have had 9 days off. And the 4-0 thumping they got at our place will play tricks with their minds.
I'm going for 8-0 (aggregate!)

I was one of the few predicting a win last week, and what did we get? A win. I'll stick with my positive attitude if it's alright with you. There's no reason why we can't win all our remaining games, and if we do it doesn't matter in the least what Dorking do. Well you got a 'like' from swordy, so that tells you everything you need to know. You may as well say that there's no reason why Stones can't win all our matches next season and the season after. Monday will be a tough one. It could go any one of 3 ways. It could go 3 ways 1. We win 2. They win 3. VAR intervenes and gives the 3 pts to Liverpool.

Facebook says sold already The quickest £1500 a non league club ever made. If they released 1000, they would increase their annual profits by 50%.

My God, it is such a long wait for this match while everybody else plays on Friday. My prediction 6 points for Dorking over the Bank Holiday and 3 points for the Stones. That would actually th present a great week-end for the club.

I think we will beat Dartford.. they have not been playing well lately and have chopped and changed their team so much in recent weeks. Apparently still around 1000 home tickets left..

Yep, we have hundreds more who would snap up tickets over the week-end.

Difficult one for Darts fans - watch your team beat those Maidstone bastards, like they did in the Cup, and possibly bugger up their championship chances, or watch your team get thrashed again, like they did away, and 'enjoy' the Stones fans singing 'We're on our way to the National League' in full voice. I wonder how many will stay away to avoid the latter (and I suspect they think the more likely) outcome?

None.
You're overthinking things again.

That implies not thinking at all.

I wonder how many will stay away to avoid the latter (and I suspect they think the more likely) outcome? Did you stay away when we were dire in the NL? True fans support their team when things aren't going great, and anyway, Darts are looking at securing as high a playoff place as possible, and can still mathematically win the league. What kind of supporters would stay away in those circumstances.

Talking of “true fans” (I hate that phrase), shouldn’t season ticket holders get first refusal when match tickets are limited?
