Re: New leisure facility at Faverdale

Darlington is well served with all weather pitches currently, we have most senior schools have them and hire them out, plus the council facility at Hundens, my grandson plays on a Sunday morning at both the Hundens and Education Village
Not to say we we couldn't do with more

Re: Jim Provett

I've liked TT, however he has not improved never dominates his box, if Jim Provett as his coach could not improve that why have him. M personal feeling is some of our defensive issues stem from Taylor not catching the ball, when a catch is what is needed. Take the Scarborough game their keeper did t...

Re: Echo casting doubt on plans for new ground

My point is access to Skerningham, even if we can convince a landowner to sell land for a commercial development, Skerningham is not assessable for crowds of football supporters wanting to access or leave the site without congestion

Would the Local Plan need to be changed to include the DFC new stadium? Because no stadium is included in the current Plan or the Design Code! The Design Code was a stipulation made by he Government Inspector when he approved the Skerningham development. Not sure how many of you know where Skerningh...

Re: Farsley manager comments

I accept we have a lot of possession, but we go nowhere. We are to slow in getting it forward., all our passing is to deliberate and ponderous. As far as set pieces are concerned, we can't defend them and I not able to remember when we last scored from one

Re: English cricket.

My problem with English cricket is we play all types of game in the same manner. Test cricket is a specialist element of the game, our players train for it by playing T20 and one day cricket. What is wrong with playing 4-day championship cricket in preparation for test cricket?
