The Daggers can trace their history back to 1881 if you try a bit, and most certainly back to 1992, contrary to some views that history started in 2007. Arguably the best sustained period of success we had came under Garry Hill - 2000 Isthmian Champions, 2001 Conference 3rd & FA Cup 3rd round replay, 2002 Conference 2nd (Bostongate season) & FA Cup 3rd round, 2003 Conference play off final & FA Cup 4th round. While under John Still we had some great times too, he never had a run of successful seasons like that, and pretty much ignored the cup competitions.ARNU wrote:Dunno why Ricky gets such a hard time on here.He's pretty much covered it in that Blog,the minutae and in depth detail nobody else will care about anyway except for the ardent pedantic daggers historians out there,and they already know anyway.
"Still had transformed the club from Ryman League also-rans into League Two play off winners" is straight, old fashioned, incorrect. The worst Ryman League finish under Father Ted was 4th (not exactly also-rans, these days a play off spot at least) and Still never came near the club in that time, so linking him with it is lazy and could have been worded better without a lot of extra words making Ricky's excuse redundant. We also had a Wembley Final during that time in case you missed it (I guess you did).
At least no-one got accused of being a Neanderthal or on day release though so its an improvement.
