I take it you mean it won't belong to DFC? Yep. Remember the 36 inch water main going diagonally from open end that limits building. Surely we can't get rid of the Tin Shed - only part of Feethams we still have? Of course we could if it meant we could comply with the necessary ground grading requir...

That for me has been transformed by new additions, Main in particular. Would SW been able to do the same with Felix & Hazel? I personally don’t believe so. You don't believe that SW would have been able to do anything with Hazel, who scored 20 goals a season every season, and 21 goals in his first ...

Why do threads always descend into personal point-scoring? I don't really care if someone thought Gowling should have been given more time, or if Martin Gray was the only man to get us out of the mess, or if the signing of an injured Asante was an egregious assault on our very existence as a fan ow...

A minibus carrying a group of Shields fans involved in a serious accident on the A1 on Saturday evening. They were on their way home from the match at Tamworth yesterday afternoon. Apparently 17 people were taken to hospital and 7 of them were reported to be seriously injured. Lets hope all those in...

If we don’t draw next Saturday we will have created a couple of extraordinary sequences. A whole season of away games without a single draw and a run of 26 consecutive games since November without a draw home and away.

Fair enough. Disagree though, they’re absolute cack and I’m not arrogant in saying that. No I agree they were probably the worst team to visit BM this season. I just don’t dare take anything for granted where Darlington FC are concerned. There's been a fair few teams just as bad if not worse this s...

Yeh, Young won't be back. I'm sure a new GK will be a priority, and I'd hope that we have a good chance of securing Cornish and Barrow on contracts. If we can get those sorted early on, move out a few of the squad players/under-performers, then we should hopefully have a decent core of a side to fl...

Hopefully we can add Scott Barrow to those who will be staying. Listening to his post match interview he is very keen to return next season if he is given the chance.

Over the last 20 games, we’re 8th in the form table and Farsley are 21st. We’re where we are because of Gowling, they’re where they are because they’re not a very good team. We won’t have any bother at the weekend. How long have you been supporting Darlington ? Surely you don’t think it is a forgon...

Phew that’s a relief. Brilliant effort from the players and management team to get out of the mess we were in. If we can secure the services of Steve and Terry for next season, and provide them with a competitive budget, then I believe we can be in the top half next season, and maybe playoff contend...

Whether the weather be fine, or whether the weather be not, Whether the weather be cold, or whether the weather be hot, We’ll weather the weather whatever the weather, Whether we like it or not. You've been on that Hari Krishna thread too, anything to quell the collywobbles today. As Dave Allan use...

I just hope that Tommy Taylor is named as a sub as knowing our luck Matty Young will get injured in the first 5 mins and witout a keeper on the bench... I have had exactly the same thought. It might seem over cautious to some, but I think for such an important match it would be reassuring to have a...

Back to reality. Feeling nervous about today, I know we should win on current form, but a couple of bogeys to overcome. Firstly, I don’t think we have a great home record against Farsley, and secondly the curse of the big crowd, when we sometimes seem to freeze. This group of players have overcome a...

did Banbury get officially relegated last night by Spennymoor which puts them in playoffs at the moment? Lee got Manager of the month & has taken Moors out of the relegation zone & into playoffs. If we had got Watson & Mitchell in earlier instead of Clowning we would have been up there too. But we ...

The club are now stating that 1,600 tickets have been sold in advance for Saturday, and that very few seat tickets remain. Given reasonable weather I would expect a crowd of well over 2,000 for the game.

Do Farsley ever bring that many to away games? Anyone

No is the simple answer. They struggle to get supporters for home games.

Ground can fit in 3100 it won’t be anywhere near that reckon 2450 but an excellent 50/50 also reckon kick off delayed. Hopefully, if a lot of supporters buy tickets in advance it will make the process of getting people into the stadium a lot quicker. Maybe a good idea if the club also asked fans to...

According to the club 1,400 tickets have been sold in advance for the game on Saturday. I am guessing that this figure must include season ticket holders.

Over the last 20 games, we’re 8th in the form table and Farsley are 21st. We’re where we are because of Gowling, they’re where they are because they’re not a very good team.

Looks like Alex was Gowling’s best signing for the club.

Surely we will get Needham Market simply because they are in a feeder league to the NLN.

I think Southport are still in a spot of bother even though they have 53 points. Their goal difference is only 1 goal better than ours and they have 2 massive games to play. They are at home to Rushall on Saturday, and on current form I quite fancy an away win, and their final match is away at South...

I take nothing for granted. Not long ago some on here were asserting that 50 points would guarantee safety. Well look where we are now with 52 points and not yet safe.

It's not completely out of the realm of possibility: with us being part time, it may work with him spending half his time with us and half with Sunderland's youth team, especially with him being so young. It’s probably unlikely, but there are real benefits in him playing for us, because he can cont...

Brilliant performance today, we made an in form side look very ordinary. Never heard the MOTM or crowd announced as per usual. But in my humble opinion I thought Tom Platt was immense and deserved MOTM, although Cedric Main was terrific as well. Crowd looked around 1800, hopefully we'll get over 20...

Yes results went against us today, however the Blyth one went for us and they have got to play 2nd and 3rd yet, they need to win at least one to go above us, so the results could have been a lot worse. Blyth are in the worst situation as far as I am concerned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Act...

52 points and still not safe.

Southport’s recent away from is impressive, 4 wins and a draw from their last 5 away games.
