Darlo Uncovered

Spendy and Gloucester are exceptional value there. i fancy Gloucester for the league (if it starts) Funny club, Gloucester. Often tipped at the start of the season and yet never seem to live up to their potential. In the 11 consecutive seasons they've spent in the NLN or NLS they've never finished ...

He has officially signed, so let's back him now as he will be our No 1.

No - because not only is Devante Cole way too good for this level - he also looks nothing like the trialist. You’d think it would be simple to do a quick Google search and actually realise neither Ngwatala or Cole look absolutely nothing like the player in the highlights.... Have done and I wouldn'...

Devante Cole - released by Doncaster at the end of last season possibly?

I was told by somebody last night we have a former Barrow goalkeeper on trial. Apparently was out injured for a while last season does anybody know who he is ? I would guess it's Johnny Saltmer. Signed for Barrow last year after a loan spell from Hull City, however he was released after their promo...

Which is why what we have proposed and the idea put out by DJ to encourage local Premier League and Football League clubs to pair with National League clubs makes real sense. If not there is a risk in my opinion of a vacuum between the top 2 leagues and non-league below us and clubs like us will be ...

NLN line up gets stronger and stronger each season. Was hoping to lose Brackley to NLS, but no such luck.

I agree, it's harder to guess who might struggle than those who could do well.

Harrogate Town into League 2, quite an achievement albeit financially aided but credit to them.

Maguire signing is another pretty big statement of intent. Great options up top now, just a matter of AA finding the right combination and keeping everyone content as I would imagine there will have to be a fair bit of rotation. Hopefully, the season can start in some form!

Andy Lonergan, experienced goalkeeper and a sort of full circle for his career.

Laurent Blanc was at least 38 when he joined Man Utd...ended up with a Premier League winners medal. Age is just a number and if you still have the fitness and desire to play then I don't see a problem with signing him.

Very pleased with both signings and could be a pretty good piece of business... once the new season starts, here's hoping! On paper we are beginning to have the makings of a squad more than capable of challenging in the top 7 I just hope we can get going at some point in the future.

I'm curious as to how exactly 30k will do anything to fill the holes in their finances? Seems a very unambitious target to say the least.

Orange is my choice, it's been a while since we have had that option of a change kit and we have had a green away shirt a couple of times in recent years.

Craig James and Shaun Raey.

Clarke Keltie

Just contributed to the cause. I'm a first time investor since boost the budget was incepted by the club, glad and grateful to be in a position to help towards the budget.

Have to say watching the match back in its entirety I'd forgotten in my opinion how even and edgy I thought the match was it was actually just as nerve shredding even knowing the eventual result! :o :lol: We were slight favourites on the day, but I think a combination of nerves and the humidity stif...

Bit of a while since I last posted and I hope all are well and staying safe wherever you are in the world. :) In my opinion BtB gives the club some sort of indication of support and funds, especially needed at this unpredictable moment in time. It will give us a much better foundation for when some ...

So there has been confirmation that the first case of this virus has reached Darlington and interestingly enough the last bit of information from the Northern Echo related to DFC and whether it will effect our matches. Whether or not the individual has any association with the club in an official ca...

A battling win by the sound of it and the type we need to win to keep the pressure on those above. Looking ahead, it is looking more and more likely that our playoff destiny will hinge on Gateshead away, which is effectively the 6 pointer, although the obvious cliché is we now have to treat the last...

So what are the rules on signing and playing players, is it clubs within a calendar year or is it reset at the end of the season? I assume we are ok signing him again on loan within the same season, even with his loan spell at Blyth? Don't want us falling foul of player ineligibility and I'm not sur...

Wasn't O'Neill on the bench for Boro tonight? ls it strange he was on the pitch pre-match for us on Saturday and then on their bench tonight, can't fathom what's going on with this situation at the moment?

Seems like you can't raise a point or have any kind of debate without having people call you out on it....modern society is all

A good point that halts the slide in form. Honestly, I would’ve taken a point before kick off, and a late equaliser is always nice. Haven’t seen any highlights yet, obviously, but nice to see Omar on the scoresheet. He’s been underused lately imo. Should we not have a bit more ambition than to be s...

Agree Holness should be in our starting line-up. There wasn't too much wrong with our midfield trio of Hatfield, Wheatley and Holness earlier in the season, was there? Except we had O'Neill up front. We haven't got anyone to fill that role now. Campbell needs a big lad up there to bring the best ou...

A point away at Hereford is a decent result. However, if you are being hypercritical it is probably 2 points dropped in the circumstances of chasing a playoff place. With results of teams around us you have to try and cash in on wins, draws get you nowhere when you are hunting down the top 7. I thin...

Looking at the fixtures to come, we have played a lot of the top teams away already and some of them twice meaning if we can keep the tempo and consistency against the lower teams, our run in is favourable. To play... 1. Kings Lynn (h) 4. Brackley (h) 5. Boston (a) 6. Alty (h) 8. Gateshead (a) 10. ...

Lets stop arguing. Surely we can agree the whole thing is tragic and if a crime has been committed the perpetrators should be dealt with as severely as possible. No question about that. I have edited my original post so as not to offend anyone else, however my original opinion and solutions still s...

News like this just sickens you, happening far too often and hope the scumbag who was responsible spends a long, long time in prison

RIP to the lad and hopefully they catch the b*stard(s) who committed this crime.
