Re: The home of DFC

The issue over wording of a sign is pathetic. If you go to other groundshares you'll see those "home of xyz FC" of both teams no problem. Cheltenham and gloucester springs to mind from a couple of seasons ago. Maidenhead and Hayes & Yeading also. It's petty rubbish and the rugby club board should ha...

Re: Stadium Blueprint with Waterpipe location

Worth pointing out as well that a lot of existing ground's stands wouldn't pass building regulations and ground grading if they were proposed to be built today. Take Lancaster for example, there would need to be a larger gap between the pitch and the start of the terrace, the same as the tin shed is...

Re: Full time

Better to have the pick of the best part time players vs the worst full time dross. Part time clubs can be successful in the conference, look at Woking from recent seasons, narrowly missed the playoffs in 12/13 with a budget of 350k

Re: The Arena

There was a meeting yesterday involving the Rugby Club, Council and Darlo. Apparently progress is being made but very slowly. One driving force behind the talks, is that if we don't do a deal with the Rugby Club in the next 3 or 4 weeks, a substantial grant from the FA will be withdrawn. Presumably...
