Re: Leamington new ground
Without a decent ground or a vision to secure one I’m not entirely sure where we are going as a club. Even at this level it arguably has the worst away end in the league. I actually stood at the open end for the first time yesterday and it’s absolutely grim. For me this is priority 1 after this seas...

Re: Darlington V Chorley
The photograph shows the ball in its entirety well over the line by several inches so it is not 'just' over the line, and you fail to consider that the photograph shows this at a point before the defender's boot has made contact with the ball, which suggests that the ball would travel even further ...

Re: Spennymoor V Darlington
They were celebrating like they had won the league at the end of the match. I guess they will say it is sour grapes, but honestly I just don’t get the animosity towards us. Obviously we would have celebrated a win, because the 3 points would have been massive for us, but it would be the win that wa...

Re: Spennymoor V Darlington
I feel it is my duty to report that Spen is being a bell end on The Tin Shed and so please bear this in mind when he next posts on here.

Re: Reset
Yet again I ask, just what do you think we have for anyone to "invest" in? We are what is known as a paper club, ie, the only things we own are a few player's signatures on sheets of paper, some strips and a few balls. How much do you think our players will bring in investment? As far as I am aware...

Re: Banbury V Darlington

This is not a criticism of Watson who has done reasonably well since coming in. We are still dreadful though and a positive result on Saturday is backed up by a disaster ...

You can’t raise 30k as a plea to get us out of this mess and then sign nobody though.
Not really how the scheme was advertised and would go down like a lead balloon.

We're going down guys. We just fucked off a 20 goal a season striker and then play his replacement for 8 minutes today. And for all of the ins and outs in the last few weeks, we started today with just 1 JG signing. Admittedly Lindley is a good player. I'm not interested in hearing how unlucky we w...
