Darlo Uncovered

I've got a season ticket so the club has my money already . It ain't losing out financially on my money *if* the season is cancelled - I am. Also I BTB and will continue to do so. That's enough for me though, this is a step too far. Obviously, it needs to be pay on day fans that need to be financin...

There will be serious consequences for many clubs, some of which may end in administration or even extinction. Various spaces could appear in any league which then impact promotion /relegation. Pyramids need solid foundations & could collapse..... Barnet have laid off all 60 non-playing staff https...

It'll be the last chance to see us for some time, although living near Boston I'm hoping I may have the chance on Tuesday. Divas is right in that what confronts us will be unprecedented and it will have big implications for next season too. I'm wondering if we'll need to do some fundraising going f...

Baffling decision tbh. Won't take long before some clubs who don't fancy a game because they've got a few knocks or aren't in form claim they've got players or staff who are ill to get the game hooked. Integrity of the competition very much a big issue in all of this. But classic National League th...

National League meeting within the next hour. I think we all know what’s going to happen, if they have any common sense.

You mean they will go against the advise of the Prime Minister??

I know Craig Hignett has history with us, but his recent loyalties have been with poolie. Not sure that having his as the guest speaker is the best off ideas. Why hold that against him, don't forget Raj showed him the door so might make things interesting.If he is a good after dinner speaker then n...

I bet they didn’t see that result against Altrincham today lol

...or maybe they did. Would have got great odds

The response to this from Spendy fans is incredible. Remember, the players have all admitted to it. I’m paraphrasing here but they’re along the lines of: “Leave them alone, it’s only a bet”, “Other players will do it so it’s fine”, “How dare you even report this?” And my favourite is the guy claimi...

Will you lot please stop it. My sides are actually hurting. Comedy gold. It sure is funny! To suggest they didn’t know the rules and that they will be educated about betting regulations is utterly unbelievable- I MEAN REALLY? As banktop says above, send for the learned one, Spen. :D :D :D Boyes har...

Adam Boyes placed over 2,000 bets, I'm thinking that there could be a lengthy ban there. I suppose that's what happens when you're sat on the bench for 2 years and are on good money - get bored, start gambling. I fancied that we might go for him over the summer, could be in a bit of jeopardy now de...

https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/18275430.spennymoor-town-players-charged-betting-offences/ Nothing to see here. They are innocent. Poor boys did not know they could not gamble..,, Typical spenny response in the report. Never can just put their hands up and say ‘we did something wrong- sorry’.

Not saying hes a top bloke but theres been some comical quotes from him over the years which even the most die hard of darlington fans have found funny: “Rome wasn’t built in a day but dArlingtons already built” “Footballs easy, just send out the season tickets and away you go” “If i did not build ...

I hope if you were to get into play-offs, and it goes to penalties he has to take one.

Well if it's hoops yet again, I won't be buying. We need a change & will vote for 3 again.

That's democracy - I reckon it will be a close call - beware Pete, 3 is now 2!

Wong kit numbers, wrong grounds.......

For those of you who have not seen this on the social media platforms or on the official website.

New initiative by the club.

https://darlingtonfc.co.uk/news/quaker-family-values

Excellent initiative from the club.

It’s strange this Craig Morley thing. There was such a hoo-ha made of things when he came in, but now utter silence. It’s how the club operate at times. This, the Spennymoor debacle etc. You obviously don't buy a match programme. DJ's notes in the Alfreton programme state "On a separate note, the c...

To be fair that first one is pretty similar to our kit from 1889 (black strip down the middle). We had stripes, quarters and a solid black vertical strip all before we ever had hoops. In fact I think in our 127 year history I am not sure we have worn hoops for even 50% of it. I like the quarters th...

Awful all of them......absolutely awful Totally agree. None of them are proper Darlington shirts. Black and white hoops are distinctive and unique and I bet loads of other teams would like to have that. Perhaps as a fan owned club DFCSG members could have been consulted as to whether they prefer ho...

What an awful selection. Would hate to see what failed to make the short list. Uninspiring to say the least. If one wins god help us. Yes god help us. Imagine. What would become of the club?! Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk I just think it looses any identity we have built up as a club. Others ...

Not everyone is as cautious with their contracts. Kings Lynn have just signed striker Dayle Southwell and given him a two-and-a-half-year contract. He had apparently been on more than £1,000 a week at Halifax. Another club with an owner pumping the money in. This is why we must aim for promotion as...

Good interview- not just about love island but lower league football too.

Needs to make himself standout in an ever dwindling sports department

If Scott Wilson knows Luke Trotman well enough to judge his dedication and integrity, or indeed has spoke to the club to ask for their view then fair enough. But I doubt he’s done either, and if not, he’s just being a local journalist writing a pretty sneering column piece about someone he hasn’t b...

Will he definitely finish uni this year if he's away for a few weeks?

Maybe this is what Armstrong meant about loaning someone out to free up funds!

Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Wonder if any more cryptic clues in Armstrong’s interviews??

Just gone in the villa

Ooooo sweet baby. Trotman on love island. Can not wait!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Personally, not my cup of tea and I don't think even Luke's participation will change that, but to each their own :D Good to see he is taking rehab seriously. Still paying him to ‘graft’ as well???

At least Alty fans will only have to pay £10 when they return to The Field. Spennymoor surcharges other visiting Co. Durham fans 40% - £14 for the visit of Darlo and Gateshead but back to £10 for everyone else.

Well they are a big club- following premier league pricing structures
