Continued poor league form prompted the signing of reinforcements with centre David Heselwood, who had earlier rejected overtures from Salford, joining from Roundhay RU and Jeff Townend arriving from Wigan for ?5,000. After a disappointing start to the 1997/98 season Colin Blewden took over as Player-Manager in October and hauled the club away from the relegation zone to finish in 14th place and led the Angels to a 16th place finish in 1998/99. The 1999/2000 season was the club’s most successful since re-joining the Southern League. A run of fourteen games at the end of the season, in which just one defeat was suffered, secured a final league placing of seventh. The following season, it appeared that the Angels might better that seventh place finish. A storming start to the season saw just two of their first nineteen league matches lost. However, a run of five defeats in six matches late on, including a 2-3 reverse and Stamford, left the Angels in eighth spot come the end of the season. The 2001/02 season was not a successful one for the club. Blewden resigned in October and Tonbridge were one of several clubs involved in a relegation dogfight. They escaped the drop by winning two and drawing one of their last four matches, leaving them four points ahead of relegated Wisbech Town at the end. We all want Red Dwarf to go on and on and on. We want series and specials and stage shows and movies and spin-offs. We want Red Dwarf flying out of our buttskis. Why wouldn’t we? Seriously? And I would really love, personally, to write some of it, just for the record,” Grant said.
The club entered a new era in season 2022/23 with the summer installation of a FIFA approved 3G surface which was opened on Saturday, 20th August for the visit of Hampton and Richmond Borough, unfortunately it was an inauspicious beginning with a 4-1 defeat. Thankfully, this was not a foretaste of things to come as Jay Saunders first season at the club ended with a creditable ninth place finish, just four points off the play offs. The end of the season brought farewell to two legendary figures at the club with Sonny Miles leaving the club with a record 527 appearances to his name whilst in the boardroom, chairman Dave Netherstreet also stepped down after five years at the helm. Sophie Purves has replaced Dave as the club's chair. To the outside world, he was a churchgoing and frail pensioner but 87-year-old Thomas Reed's sordid secret as a predatory paedophile was finally exposed.

Perhaps even more confusingly, why has Rob Grant, who hasn’t been involved with the franchise for just as long, now shown an interest in writing for the Boys from the Dwarf again? So we’re ready and waiting, there’s nothing we could do to stop it if we wanted to, because we’ve signed a contract already.” A Broken Partnershipproved to be a disaster for the club. Former Tottenham Hotspur man Terry Naylor took charge and lasted for just seven games, in that time only managing to earn a single drawn match. With the Angels at the bottom of the league Tommy Sampson came in to try to steady the ship but the damage was already done. The Angels bade farewell to the Southern League after 40 years, relegation to the Kent League being the club’s “reward” after ending the season in next to bottom spot. who operated a surgery in Coventry before moving to Florida, USA; was physio at WBA for a short time.
During the club’s Kent League days, Longmead Stadium’s record attendance for a competitive match was remarkably beaten three times in ten days during a memorable FA Cup run. After an abandoned 3rd Qualifying Round replay with Hampton in front of over 800 fans, the game was rearranged and drew an impressive attendance of 1,274. Just five days later the 4th Qualifying Round tie against Yeovil drew a crowd of 1,483. Season 1997/98 saw an attendance of 2,412 when the full Crystal Palace first team squad appeared for a charity match in aid of two local hospices, making March 30th 1998 a memorable evening in the clubs history. Still on the topic of records, the Angels’ biggest win came about in the FA Cup in 1951 when Worthing were beaten 11-1. Two seasons before that a 2-11 loss at Folkestone in the Kent Senior Cup had given the club its record defeat.For fans, what does this mean for the future of Red Dwarf as a franchise? Both Grant and Naylor seem keen to produce Red Dwarf content, although their announcement notably says “separate iterations”. Peter also made four appearances for the full England team, scoring twice, becoming one of the very few players to play for England whilst at a club outside the top two divisions. Former Tonbridge and Arsenal goalkeeper Tony Burns took over as manager for the 1980/81 season and the club’s new Longmead Stadium hosted its first game on August 18th 1980, a crowd of 701 watching a Southern League Cup game against Crawley Town. Despite having a new home, finances proved to be a problem for the club. Burns departed for Gravesend & Northfleet in December 1982 to be replaced by John Keirs, who took the club to fourth place in the 1983/84 season, promotion only denied to the Angels on the final day of the season. Phil Emblen took over the reins in July 1985 and led the club to another Southern League Semi Final appearance in 1987, but his departure along with several key players at the end of the 1987/88 season led to a slump in the 40th anniversary season.
