Darlo Uncovered

PM for you DFCSC_1

Here's just a selection of photos I took of the match if anyone is actually interested. For some reason they've uploaded back to front, so I suggest scrolling backwards when viewing them. http://s75.photobucket.com/user/TimHickman94/media/Ossett%20Town%20Away%2018-1-14/OssettAlbionAway004_zps509bdd...

As a matter of interest, how many members does the CIC have?

I'm not certain - depends on what type of ticket you buy of course - but to me that is besides the point. A perfectly valid fixture being changed for little overall added value. Even if I get a refund I'm down £20 and the cheaper advance tickets have gone for trains to Kendal.

Well thanks a fucking lot - I've just lost out on about £80-worth of rail tickets for that game. And I'm not the only one either. Fucking tin-pot wankery...

Christ's sake. FCUM are one of the few clubs around that, to my mind, are doing things the right way. They saw the way football was going and chanced their arm on doing something different, and it works. On top of that, they don't seem to have some massive complex about being non-league, which AFC ...

Or you could drop Darlo Camera Club a line and see if they're interested

I am sure you once described going to watch Darlo as a 2 hour interuption to a nice afternoon in the pub, so am sure, finance aside, you don't feel too downbeat. I think you must be confusing me with someone else...hic! On a serious note I feel more for my mate Martin who rarely misses a game and i...

Read that they could lose another franchise. Mixed feelings. Great innovators with the computerised seat bookings and their beautiful trains but then most of the rail 'cock ups' I have ever had have involved them. Not convinced by the computerised seat reservations - don't always work and are not a...

Yes, but as I understand it (happy to be corrected if I'm wrong) this change was because the ground had been booked for something else before we agreed the groundshare . If so it's not much of an excuse to those who have bought non-refundable travel to get to the game on the Saturday. (I'm assuming...

If you like the Macc Lads, here is the Geordie version - Shitswarm - surprisingly good.

One track applicable to many on here

And download the album for nowt here

Sadly they appear to be defunct...

I may have missed this on another thread but why exactly does Raj get to keep control of the football share after he had put the club into adminstration and he no longer had any control over the day to day running of it (the club)?

A brief mention of Darlington at about 14 mins 30 secs in this interview

Well worth watching in its entirety though...

According to another thread, they're due to meet tonight and then members will be consulted. It's not the Trust's £40k we should be concentrating on now, but the next £40k from fans, businesses etc. and regaining the momentum. I agree but the recommendations of the Trust could well influence whethe...

Matt Cardles cover of Many of Horror is the worst cover ever. Biffy clyro are a band that shouldn't be covered, and changing the name of the song to 'When We Collide' just made it even more annoying. I agree. Covering a band as s*** as Biffy Clyro smacks of desperation. There are thousands of bette...

I have recently (start of this month) rejoined the Trust and got a very nice letter from them welcoming me back. It included an update of what had been going on in February. It contained the names of 4 Directors. I don't know if this information is only for Trust members or not but I guess to be ce...

Excuse me oldboy whoever you are, but i am mid 50 and been following Darlo since the late 60s, how about you? and what the hell is pathetic and childish about the post, as i meant every word of it . i am a darlington supporter simple isn't it! i take it you have issues with the trust you have there...

If the Trust are saving this money for a 'rainy day' then have they not noticed its f***ing pissing down. I'm seriously concidering withdrawing my membership of the trust. There needs to be a vote for members to decide what happens to the 'rainy day' money. At this stage of share purchasing if it g...

At this rate they will be still taking advice when the deadline has past - and what happens to OUR money then? A phoenix club simply is not going to happen - will they give the money to The RA? It's bordering on pathetic really. COME ON OUR CLUB NEEDS HELP!! NO its got to be done right and taking a...

I'm back in town for the weekend so will pop down - no chance of any decent beer at the workies I suppose?

Yes, the types with twigs in...

........ It's quite embarrassing as a life time supporter of DFC, who lives and breathes DFC to the point of boring "others" to death over everything and anything DFC .... that in conversation (and there are many believe you me) ... I demonstrate that I know nothing about the current plight of DFC....

Quick - get humble pie on sale in the concourse. At this rate we'll soon have £200k...

I could reveal details on Gazettelive now (could have done hours ago), but agreed not to because it's not signed. I'll spell it out. There is a fear among the Rescue Group that fund raising will peter out if people think everything is sorted. The community spirit at present is greater than ever, an...

Just make sure you have the fish and chip shop open...

What serious business conducts its dealings via the media? and as it was the initiative was flawed and not viable. What serious organisation declines the chance to get involved in such crucial talks and do what it was set up to do, represent it's own members? Like I said Ted, the Trust should have ...

TBH living and working down south for close to 25 years. After awhile you get used to being referred to as Doncaster. Most Monday mornings I'll go into work and someone will say 'how did Donny do at the weekend'. I now simply reply 'I don't know'! Same for me too. And her indoors as everyone confus...

I suggest you visit the site and read the comments, not just the article in this thread.

I assume they must be willing but you're right, it would be good to hear it. From my own time on the Trust Board I think the stated priorities only included supporting a Phoenix club if all efforts to save the club in its current form had failed. But my memory isn't what it was and I may be mistake...

Ralph I stand by my belief that the Board must behave in a rational and procedural manner. Your joint resignation, regardless of intention, was not dignified, it was done at an hour and in a manner that appeared to many on here as if it was posted under the influence. Tony Taylor resigned due to a ...
