Darlo Uncovered

Would not surprise me if reynolds did all this for the attention and to tell us all hes still around. Not the 1st time hes caused a s*** storm for the publicity He’s not doing it for attention. He’s doing it because he’s a nasty, narcissistic, egotistical, misogynistic piece of work. If it was for ...

He’s also opened his own Academy in the North East. Not sure what his day job is anymore as he’s an accountant, so he’s either Mourinho or just sticking one up to DFC. Whatever good luck to him as he apparently loaned money to DFC. Ah, the shit-stirrer is back. Starting off a thread about the Heref...

I looked at the comments. Some are pro Reynolds, suggesting that there is always a vendetta against him - others are anti Reynolds suggesting he's an out and out wrongun. The truth probably somewhere in-between. Nope, the truth is the latter. Reynolds is a crook, a thin-skinned narcissist and a cha...

Just heard that budget likely to be lower than this seasons Who from? Don’t give him what he wants. Quakersfan loves pretending to be the prophet of doom, then slinking away and whacking off as people ask him about it. He’s a shit-stirrer with an agenda and an axe to grind. Given we don’t know what...

And to think we'd probably be still stitched up like poor Shrewsbury town were at anfield on Tuesday - heel offside in the build up indeed - pathetic just snot the tool to favour the big clubs. I do love the victim mentality some have. VAR is applied equally for all clubs. It’s got its problems, no...

Surely it would work better if any part of a player is onside the goal stood after all what happened to favouring the attacking side has for conspiracy theories gramps have a look at some of the decisions which have gone both Liverpool and Tottenham's way this season surely you must agree bar is ki...

Might just be me - but those kits all have a player that I can jus remember wearing it... 96/97 - Andy Crosby 97/98 - Mario Dorner 98/99 - Jesper Hjorth 99/00 - Richard Hodgson ...I get a bit of a blank here for some reason... 03/04 - Clark Keltie 04/05 - Clyde Wijnard 05/06 - Hutchinson (can't rem...

I don't really know if there is an easy answer. If you make the Northern Premier League go straight into Conference North you give step 3 Northern sides a 1 in 12 chance of getting to Step 2 whilst giving the rest of the county a 1 in 36 chance - not sure that will be interpreted as fair. This isn’...

The point is surely the promotion structure entrenches the Midlands-ifcation (a word I've just made up) of the league, in that it guarantees two Midlands sides a promotion each season, providing equal weight with the NPL which is for actual Northern sides (geographically speaking). This becomes prob...

A tradition is always decided upon ultimately they don't just happen by chance. Why don't we alternate hoops and other if we start now and do it for the rest of time it becomes tradition right and is our identity. Or given that clearly a significant percentage of our fanbase view hoops as being par...

I’m pleased we kept the hoops/Hotizontal stripes. Since 2012 we’ve had a variation of them every season and I think we should adopt it as our identity. As a poster above said tradition has to start somewhere and I feel this is our chance to do it. We started out with this style then from the 50’s-9...

Tbf 3 looks like hoops it's just half the hoop is black and the other is 'off-black' (grey) No it doesn’t. It’d be like if Newcastle went for very thin vertical stripes and tried to claim it was the same. It isn’t, everyone can see it isn’t. Even the board have said it isn’t. It’s bizarre you’re tr...

Not a fan of any to be honest.

2 makes us look like Fulham, 4 looks like a training top.

3 is hideous.

So by process of elimination I’m stuck with 1.

I voted 3....just be contrary to DG

In proper sentences next time please. [emoji6]

Is it definitely because people are sick of hoops? I’m not seeing anything to support that idea. I mean it could be, and it’s a perfectly logical thought process, but where’s the actual evidence to support that hypothesis? Attendances have generally remained stubbornly around the 1200 to 1300 mark. ...

Or has been listed above Puma didn't provide a hooped design this season. Nice try, but it was a decision by the board. See this from the club: “In a break with recent tradition we have decided to produce designs which don’t feature hoops and instead have selected a number of designs which celebrat...

The club are probably in an impossible position because if they keep hoops, they'd potentially lose cash and some people would complain, if you lose hoops you might gain some extra £, but have some people complain. It's not an impossible position - make hoops one of the options - then let the fans ...

F**k me this fanbase is so set in their ways. As fans we’ve had the priviledge to choose our home & away kit for how many of the last number of seasons (a feat that not many clubs get) yet here we are whinging about the choices. Only Darlo fans could whinge about having the option to choose from FO...

Double- post

I don't think we've played in hoops for that much of the last 30 years, so to say it's our identity doesn't really work for me. Not true, we've played in hoops for most of the last 30 years. If we go off this (http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Darlington/Darlington.htm), the club has a long associati...

The point isn’t about it “only being one season” which is a little patronising. The point is the club have decided our identity (or at least what a significant proportion view as our identity) is expendable at the cost of one year of kit sales, which may or may not work. I do get the commercial argu...

Totally agree. None of them are proper Darlington shirts. Black and white hoops are distinctive and unique and I bet loads of other teams would like to have that. To be fair that first one is pretty similar to our kit from 1889 (black strip down the middle). We had stripes, quarters and a solid bla...

Sorry but all this,"It is our heritage" comes from a far younger generation than I. Not once for over 40 years did I see "Hoops" until the 3 thin hoops made their debut in 1966. I would not mind so much if we actually had hoops, we don't. We keep having black and white horizontal stripes with black...
