My son and I could tell you a few home truths about Dagenham and being 'decent'; I know a few victims of their 'decency' and failure to correlate between player's remuneration and that of the manager.
I’ll rephrase it then, a Club with decent supporters like Dagenham.

Really!Most owners consider success with promotion for GI and Osborne success comes with relegation

Its a nice place to go. I hope they survive

After the Barrow result we don't even look likely to claim 4th from bottom let along escape relegation. ive had to be realistic this time. we are already down. the best thing we can do is prepare ourselves for next season visiting Weston-Super-Mud. Gloucester at Evesham. Oxford City. Truro. Bath. Chippenham. Hungerford. Poole. at least they are a good day out. but just to let you know ive found these singing



Yep the fat lady has already started singing

Thee was a day when i dreamed a dream. But we got relegated instead. but like all Gulls supporters. I can still dream a dream

at least she is worth watching
You may have to scrub Poole from that list Glostergull.
They are 5 points from safety with only 3 games left.

Of another club has not played by the rules then fair enough....ive no problem with that. But it wouldn't feel like much satisfaction because we have been poor

If you can't stay up yourself you don't deserve to survive by another club's misfortunes, you make your own luck in life

Now where did I put my pillow? zzzzz
So if Dagenham go into administration, which looks likely after reading the Evening standard article, They can not find anyone to invest and the previous owner fell out with a section of fans and just walked away. Does that mean the 4th relegation spot becomes void and they would get offered the chance to stay in the NL?
Our season has been so bad! We do not even have a chance of making 4th from bottom. Its so sad its funny. What a complete disaster the last few years have been.
The only thing that gives you hope is football its self! 91-92 Burnely were in the 4th division now they look like they will be heading into Europe, Bournmouth were in the 4th Division in 2001 now look at them. Accrington will more than likely be playing Sunderland next year in Division 1!
We are at our lowest point in history or will be at the weekend when our relegation is confirmed, Owners are despised by almost everyone the Manager seems hopeless the players not much better than rubbish.
Maybe we all hope there is someone out there with pots of money who maybe used to go Torquay for summer holidays and is ready to be our Knight in shinning armour...
Maybe in 6 years time when we are in the championships playoff spots we will look back at these moments with sombre reflection.
One thing I am sure of is we really cannot get any lower than we are right now!!!! Can we?

Just seen today's London Evening Standard who are reporting Dagenham & Redbridge are in danger of going into liquidation this summer. No new investor has come forward and Saturday's match could be their last ever home game as they struggle to pay their players after next month.

So, even if we were to WIN all THREE of our remaining games - our only hope is if Barrow get ONE point or less from those three remaining games - Aldershot (a); Bromley (a) and Chester (h) and as for Woking their superior goal difference (and goals scored) means that we need them to get THREE points or less from their remaining two games - Guiseley (a) and Dover (h).

So it is still possible .... but highly, highly unlikely!

All you can say is that we still have a sliver of hope. The likelihood is that Barrow will pick up three more points and that we won’t win all our games. I think we could overhaul Woking, I can’t see them picking up more than one point from their last two. Still, it would be great if it went to the last game.
