Dartford’s management team are always learning, according to coach Martin Tyler. The football commentator has decades of experience watching the game’s elite alongside spending the best part of this century next to Darts boss Alan Dowson in the dugout.
The non-league journey has included success at the likes of Woking and Hampton previously, and now they’re plotting a promotion push with Dartford in National League South.
A 2-0 home win over Chippenham ended a run of three league games without a win for Dartford, and Tyler insisted his football education is still ongoing. “It’s such a results business,” he said. “With the Premier League I have a privilege to share two different leagues, there’s a lot of education for an old so and so like me, you’re always learning. “You just try to improve.
We want to improve the players, we want to improve the club and we want to improve ourselves. That’s a philosophy for everybody really but I’ve tried to live by that, and there’s still plenty of room for improvement. “Every day is a challenge, there’s usually something happening about the football club. “The reason I’ve been involved with Dowse for 17 years is that I’m extremely cheap, we’re striding on together and we’d love to do here what he’s done at all the clubs he’s been at. “If we can do another one here it would be truly amazing.
