Darlo Uncovered

Good to see the players taking advantage of the community testing. A very responsible approach and hopefully encourages anyone else who is out there in the community regularly to do the same https://darlingtonfc.co.uk/news/darlington-fc-supports-community-testing-scheme?fbclid=IwAR1f5bO9Q77R9gMmMenr...

The first goal was massive for us yesterday, as it has been been all season. The stats when we conceded first versus score first couldn’t be any more black and white

And Spennymoor have done the same. Fair play, this is a superb, strongly worded statement: https://spennymoortownfc.co.uk/2021/02/05/statement-from-the-chief-executive-managing-director/ Spennymoor Town is a semi-professional football club, many of whose players have primary forms of employment whi...

Its a shame but it's been on the cards.
The squad will be broken up but on the pitch we weren't great. I presume Nicky Hunt will retire and a few others will go.

I would expect that a more likely outcome if we were forced to play on and had to make some significant cost savings to do so

Reading this. If the clubs who don't want to null and void in Step 2 are clever about it they should vote against resolution 1. That would make that resolution passing with 75% unlikely. It would then require 75% in favour of null and void for resolution 4 which again is unlikely given most Step 1 ...

I imagine 28 days is a standard rule they have to adhere to but once all votes have been submitted they will be able to shut that window. It’s not in the interest of any club to lengthen proceedings so I’d expect we’ll get an answer a fair bit quicker

There are warehouses full of these lateral flow tests - the money has been sunk for them (£1bn) and they’re not actually as useful as they were mooted to be (shock horror). I’m sure we’ll read in months / years that there are still loads of them that never get used and end up being incinerated at so...

I could see the argument for FT players not using community testing and having testing paid for by the club but given our players are PT and most have other jobs why shouldn’t they utilise the community testing just as you or I would?

We should be ready to play & if Wealdstone don't fancy it, they can forfeit. OK we will be ring-rusty & if the pitch is fit, I would rather give the lads their chance than just let Wealdstone pick up the prize. They may not think it will be worth the long trip & testing etc. Am sure we could get th...

Unless the whole national league shuts down then I expect the FA trophy will continue to its conclusion. As has been the norm so far this season teams from leagues that have been suspended will continue until they’re knocked out. I suppose if a club wanted to forfeit the game they could but I can’t ...

Or we could just let those with the professional qualifications on running a business get on with it as we mandated them to do at both the DFC and DFCSG AGM’s. There are many intricacies to choosing and working with a supplier, price is probably one of the more straightforward. Having previously bee...

The greatest thing about a democratically run, fan owned football club is everyone has the power to initiate change if so desired.

I missed the vote for the semi final but just tried to vote in the final and got a message saying I’d already voted when I haven’t!

Anyone else got this?

Difference is Darlington FC is fan-owned, and doesn’t limit its calls for funding to a limited group of supporters. Yes, but Darlington FC doesn't ask it's fans to vote on absolutely everything. Why should fans being asked to donate money get to vote on the kit, but not the walk-on music? Sorry but...

wasn't last seasons winner put up against a hoops shirt and thrashed out of sight? looks like we might be going down that road again. all four contenders this season are a joke!

No, it was actually a fairly marginal victory in the end by around 5% difference.

I always find it interesting how much better a player supposedly becomes when they’re not being selected in a losing team

The squad is currently imbalanced with forwards (3 quality number 9’s vying for one spot) and last night with the injuries and availability it meant we were missing 5 players (6 if you count minter’s return). That means Alun didn’t have many too options. I really like Sousa, he’s done very well so f...

Mentioned on here not so long back but Dougie McCarrison kicking an opponent square up the arse is a personal highlight

Martin Gray used to be a master of the dark arts on the pitch too, always kicking or digging someone when the ref wasn’t looking

Just listening to the interviews. Ray Simpson described the first penalty as harsh. I think it was up there with one of the most clear cut penalties I've ever seen. Did I miss something? That was a penalty all day long, only Atkinson will know why he had to make that stupid challenge. His head had ...

It’s was like the shittest cup draw ever

Bower and team clearly did their research and implemented a game plan that we had no answer to. Well deserved.

All good here

On another note that’s three goals on the bounce for Sousa, I really liked Donawa but I believe Sousa is an upgrade. Fantastic bit of business by AA. So far so good with Sousa. Nifty wingers tend to run out of steam after a run of games, or they get a bit cold and can't play any more (like Gillies)...

The larger a picture is the less clear it’s going to be unless you also increase the resolution by the same amount - hence the advances in HD/4K for bigger screen sizes. If you’re going to watch it on a postage stamp in the middle of a small screen anyway then even in low res it’ll still look like a...

Atkinson at CB if Wheatley is fit surely

Great that exiles could join in tonight - one of the big considerations when creating YOURCLUB was how we engage better with those owners who live many miles away. The voting for directors on the platform worked very well and much less admin for all involved too. Ultimately Covid meant that the whol...

Yeah R3 is where it’s really going to hurt the smaller clubs who draw the big clubs financially compared to previous seasons, the money just won’t be there this time around. Even if it is available on PPV, which seems unlikely the further we go due to what’s happening with PL games now being broadca...
