Darlo Uncovered

To make things worse Yarblockos, we actually need to increase the capacity by 1500, not 700 down that end. The reason is that in the NL, flat standing behind the goal does not count, so to get it up to 4000, we need something to give us 1500.

Craig Morley and David Johnston have both stated that within a couple of years we will have exhausted the possibilities of increasing commercial revenue at BM assuming that off-field growth continues and that the Arena will allow much greater off field revenue.

Bloody Daniel Nti playing for them. Always seems to have a cracking game against us.

It may be Holness needs another 90 mins too.
Good that we have the options though.

Sponsorship? Dfc highlights sponsored by......Or do the NLN not allow this either?

AA in his latest interview says 'They've all been smashing bar one or two from last year'. I assume this means Jonny Burn, but who else?

If he sorts his attitude out he could be an asset to someone.

Interesting that he writes 'Unfortunate to leave like this but that's football'.
Edit: It's on the official site now: By mutual agreement.

A final point, DJ says that the budget is spent up. If we do get Omar, Heaton and Bell in, where will the money be coming from if we can't get Burn and Glover out on loan? Unless the deals we are wanting to do have already been agreed, and just not announced yet? (Pure speculation on my part!) That...

Reading between the lines of what he's saying, the landscape has changed so much in the NE non-league scene that we almost have little choice but to go via the hybrid route if we want to compete with the others. Another couple of interesting points, the fitness levels are 'chalk and cheese', some of...

I remember in our 84-85 promotion season losing 4-0 at home to Blackpool. They ripped us to shreds and everything came from Kevin. I remember at the time wishing he would sign for us. I didn't know at the time that he was a North East lad and was delighted when he came to us a couple of years later....

No sign of Cedwyn Scott today and Tyrell was again involved.

Looks like Donowa will be signed. Not sure about Bascombe and Holness. AA was critical of some aspects of his performance after the last game.

Obviously a cover story.

Looking at the highlights I think it was Donawa who made the horrendous pass. Also, Atkinson's injury looked more like a metatarsal the way he went down, although it was horribly reminiscent of Sam Muggleton's incident.

Looking on Soccerbase, Luke/Lucas Bell is with Sunderland U18s. Has he been released, therefore if we signed him it would be similar to Joe Wheatley's situation, or is he registered with them, so it would be a loan?

Who was Halliday?

One of them was a Bermudan international. Wonder if It's one of John Woolnough's contacts.

AW was in charge last night. What is his role now exactly?

AA sad that he contacted us, we gave him a trial , we offered him better terms than they could so here he is.

Make sure that you ask Quakerman at least 20 questions.

Spoke to a Notts County fan about him. Worked very hard but struggled with shooting. A sign of low confidence maybe, so hopefully he can regain that confidence. Best get him to wear earplugs then if he misses any chances in front of the Tin Shed.

Just noticed who we signed Chris Elliott from. Very good. Reading the Non-League paper today we will be able to officially add Adam Campbell at some point this week. Ha's verbally agreed and has been training with the squad.

A bit of luck would be nice in the guise of a centre forward who is unproven but starts banging them in I.e. We're the start of the upward trajectory in their career, like David Currie or Garry MacDonald. Both had had a couple of lean years but then something clicked. Hopefully if Adam Campbell sign...

Flat standing isn't allowed down the sides in the EFL, but is in the NL.

Divas, it's still only 500 seats at the next level (NL) with plans of how to get to 1,000. Something like the Harrogate one but deeper would work in the NL. as long as we could demonstrate how we were going to get from 588 seats to 1000 eventually.

We need to increase behind the goal by about 1500, not 700, for the next level. Flat standing behind a goal is not allowed, therefore if we built on the open end we'd have to take the 800 off (leaving us with 2,500 capacity) then replace it with 1500 to get it up to 4,000.

Don't know if Lee Kilcran posts on here but he'd know any implications of a build like this/if any foundations were needed etc. Remember we decided not to relocate the seats from Bishop and something like this could be similar. There may be a caveat like to count towards capacity something like this...

Does it cost only 25k or is that what the fans need to raise on top of what the club already has put aside for it? The twitter feed says let's raise 25k, but is that the total cost? That's my only question.
