Darlo Uncovered

When MG signed Scott Fenwick at the start of the 2017-8 season it seemed a little strange that he only left after 4 games. Did he clash with MG or something? Interesting to know if AA had a word with him this time but he chose Blyth instead, or if AA didn't even consider him.

Reg Brealey may be 80 now but he was sniffing around Chesterfield a few months back and publicly declared that he wanted the buzz of running a football club again, albeit with a couple of people on board with him. Nottingham and Chesterfield are pretty close to each other geographically so it's not ...

I'm not disappointed at all at wholesale reconstruction of a squad that finished just above the relegation spots and which was embarrassed by Guiseley. I was there that day and we were just dreadful. I'm sure Ainge will be off because he was just going through the motions that day and ignored TW and...

Tom Elliot gone too.

Dale Hopson it might well be then. He's an attacking midfielder. Obviously didn't fancy staying.

You're all just jealous. If you lot got your act together and found the right sponsors then you could be self-sufficient like we are.

They've made numerous ultimatums in the past, but all of them get ignored. I guess they can be if people know that they'll just be bankrolled.

The transfer targets are on holiday in Ibiza. Who do you reckon Adam and who would you like?. Sent from my moto g(6) play using Tapatalk I'm hoping the other Ex-Blyth players work on McGuire and Jameson. I have a hunch that Tom Elliot will join Tommy at Stratford if he's out of contract. I also thi...

The transfer targets are on holiday in Ibiza.

Had a groin one 2 Years ago, but abdominal is less time.
He'll be up and walking straight away now.
2 weeks of gentle walking
After 2 weeks, light jogging.
4 weeks, gentle running
6 weeks - weights and back to gentle training.
Mid August before he'll be playing I reckon.

Agree, but how would we fund it?

The FSIS says that the maximum grant percentage is 70%. Anyone know what this means? I'm guessing that it means they will finance up to 70% of any build cost? Up to 400k. It used to be called matched funding, ie if you put in 100k they put in 100k, therefore a 50% split - maybe that has changed? Do...

In 2 more years we can access more grants for the next level if we did get promotion, or an interim step, if we could sort out the primacy of tenure issue, is that we play at the Arena in the NL where 4g pitches are allowed, but DJ is not a fan. The next amount of funding is 400k, which may give us ...

Also mentioned that if we do decide to stay at BM then the lease will be renegotiated. Implied that the services are poor at BM as rugby club aren't too bothered - they get the money anyway so have us over a barrel, but we needed to get to BM or would be stuck in Evo-Stik. A few implications that la...

I'm a bit sad it's all over really. I'd got used to checking the totaliser a couple of times a day.

Surely you know what Spen looks like. On his blog there's a great big picture of him on his bike in Lycra.
As for Ian, don't know what he looks like. Perhaps it's Spen's pet name for his bike.

For me, it was Divas who made the most telling point about all this. His point was that if you allow a 'benign benefactor', such as a Brad Groves, run your club, then the first owner you get you can 'vet' to a certain extent and vote on etc. However once you relinquish fan ownership then you lose co...

Dan McGuire here we come.

That's the figures that DJ used. I don't know what our 'Core' fan base means either. It's entirely possible that he meant 30%, which would put the figure at 1,396, which would make more sense. That would be 558 fans for 40%. Either way, 500 fans is a big increase on 419. Figures going in the right d...

Here's the news

Not just that, but another 16 investors and we hit 503, which DJ had as a 'dream' target, that of 40% of the core fan base contributing.

Gateshead Soul tweeting that they have been saved at the last hour. Cala must have agreed to sell the club then.

And a further point on that score Fat cat. In TW's post match interview he said that himself and AW had a game plan specifically not to do this and that the players had ignored instructions by doing this. Speaks volumes really.

Holness or Bascombe?

Cala once again claiming he has sold the club and admits that he stopped last week's sale out of spite because people were being nasty to him. Reckons all will be sorted by the appeal on Friday.

It's a great idea. It brings in the interest of away fans too. Curzon Ashton has its own dedicated programme hut where everything is sorted into sections. They also sell off old Man City programmes for very cheap with an agreement with City. Something we could do with local big team programmes maybe...

No need for apologies. We all know what it's like and how angry it makes you to see people destroying your club before your eyes for no motive and being able to do nothing about it.

Jordan Watson plus maybe someone from Gateshead?

It certainly looks as if some fans didn't contribute last year because they weren't convinced by TW as a manager, and maybe this year with AA they are convinced. David Johnston in an interview last May said that 419 contributors was 33% of the average fan base. He said that to go forward with the fa...
