Re: Once the dust settles...
I think we would come straight back down if ever promoted with our current finances, however that's football and if that happens then so be it. I noted the post from Hari Krishna last week and he seems to be getting some followers. You can take good Karma too far - 'if that's football ... then so b...

Re: Howling was right all along
We can laugh about it now - along with him - but once the club starts to reflect on this season something needs to be learned from that appointment, and his injury prone big money striker.PierremontQuaker03 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 5:07 pmHe said we would definitely stay up

Re: So who do you want to be relegated Blyth or Farsley>
I guess most people on here would prefer Blyth to stay up. But personally I think Farsley would be far less of a threat next season and I think Blyth could offer a lot more competition for players in this region, especially if they get this new investor on board. I'd prefer Blyth to stay up; local ...

Re: David Hodgson Interview
Yes, he did a lot to give the club a likeable image with the things he said - I remember him managing to get noticed on the Today programme with a magical realist rant about having the best set of players in the division but they were all up for sale because they wouldn't play.

I agree with OG on this one. Mistakes were made and then put right. No point in wasting energy on Gowling and his horror show. Time to move on?

To call this an interview is a stretch, it’s more Hodgie stringing together a series of stories that illustrate that the world of football is full of dubious characters and dubious goings on, including (it seems) himself.

Re: The Bottom Ten, Tuesday Apr 09th 2024
So, if I'm looking at this correctly, we beat Farsley on Sat and we are mathematically safe as, regardless of what Blyth do in their last two games, Farsley won't be able to catch us. Correct. It's a big old game. I'm sure this Darlo side will deal with the pressure and I also hope beating Farsley ...

Re: Jarrett Rivers
For those old enough to remember he reminds me of Joe Rayment. That really is a stretch - my Father used to like Raiment, was he in the side that beat West Ham in the old League Cup? Rivers does sometimes remind me of Harry Kirk, a great dribbler who soaked up the punishment and was a fans favourite.

Re: Jarrett Rivers
I've always liked Rivers - flair players can sometimes get squeezed out when it gets rough but he's always put the effort in, and been a good clubman. With him and Main on song defenders get plenty to think about and it's great to watch.

Re: Easter Monday at Warrington Town
I see this as the big one - avoid defeat and we can look up. They seem to be a reasonable side but it's realistic to travel with hope - our lot are capable of getting something and really deserve to. If York City can beat the drop so can we.

I sense that we're all feeling a bit agitated after the last two results and the realisation that tomorrows game is the big one. I foolishly forecast a 2-0 win against Chorley but we might have got something without the two game changers in the first half. We really needed a Russian linesman and a p...

Yes but the club as an entity survives and still provides football on a weekly basis. It still provides the leisure activity within the community to the fans who demand it. Nothing stops that.

There's a lot of pride to be regained in beating Chorley. I think we might see Quakers best showing this year, so far. I believe we can win 2-0.

Re: Darlington V Chorley
Is it possible for Lol36.. to get himself on the list for some of our matches - anything to help with our run-in. The angst involved is worse than 'promotion paralysis'. My own worst case is that Farsley can only get better and put some beef into it when they come.

Re: Darlington V Chorley

Not sure why we’d want him on the bench - for me Main , Nelson , Curry and Rutledge should all be in the side before him (if fit ) We need togetherness and team spirit You seem to be suggesting that Asante's inc...

Re: Darlington V Chorley
What we need to aim for is to start the game in the manner that we went about the Scunny game. Chorley have occasionally been slow starters, as in their last match against Boston, and we need to get at them from the off with help from what should be a decent crowd. It would be good to go some way t...

Re: Complacency
I don't think there'll be too much complacency in Steve Watson's dressing-room but I agree that a point at Rushall would be acceptable. Another 'ugly' 1-0 for us could be on the cards too but this might be Rushall's last chance so expect a battle either way.

Me personally I would go full strength at Rushall and hopefully get the win which realistically barring a complete capitulation would see us pretty much safe.

The ideal scenario for the next two matches is for us to beat Peterborough Sports and ideally Kings Lynn to beat Rushall on Saturday.
