Re: Curzon V Darlington

Great performance.
Still showed belief even after it went 1-1.
Will Hatfield scoring verses a limping keeper seemed inevitable but I think he would have scored anyway.
Confidence growing all over the team now.
So glad I went.

Re: Hypothetical ownership structure

It's a good idea for an initial cash boost, but what might happen when the 49% person wants to press on and spend another large sum. Will the fan owners be expected to match this or shrink their stake to, say, 40%?

Re: FA Cup Q3

I was there at the 3-1 win back in 94 and will be there today.
It was he first night of the national lottery I think, Stuart hall did the radio commentary and Shipman was still practicing at the Hyde surgery.

Re: Best Darlo goals you’ve seen live

Giving my age away now, so FA Cup 2nd round December 1976 against Sheffield Wednesday, who had been putting us through the mill & testing our resistance most of the game, finally we got the ball just into their half to big Ron Ferguson. He slipped his marker but, lacking forward support, about 35yd...

When I lived in the town I'd go to the match but I live 120 miles away and can only get to a few home games (and more away games) each season.

Re: North West based Darlington fans

It’s a nice idea but even from the Stockport area I’d probably drive directly and stay overnight. There are quite a lot more north west based fans than you think mind you. Certainly when I speak to people at away games I’d say about 40% either live locally or maybe have come up from the midlands. Ha...

I suppose it’s sort of relevant given County flirted with ‘fan ownership’. At least this guy is local to them.

Re: Darlington FC fightback victories

Coming from 2 down at home to Hartlepool to win 5-2. McClean in the tin shed end before half time then 4 from Alan Walsh in the Polam end in the second half. About 1981 I think.
Also coming from 3-1 down at Salford to win 4-3 has got to be worth a shout.

That being said HP right now is slightly better if too far out of town, but BM just needs more terracing and seats added.

This isn't clear cut for me but I'd say we should start next season with TW.

What I don’t like about VAR is the now you can never quite cheer with certainty when you score a goal. The Iran non equaliser being a case in point. The huge cheer as the ball hits the back of the net and the ref points to the centre circle is what the game is all about. Goal line technology I can a...
