Re: Gateshead - ineligible for playoffs
It's a shame that this has degenerated into a party political squabble.
I'm no fan of labour, and won't defend them here, but the Tories are unparalleled in spaffing public money (a lot of which seems to end up in the pockets of their pals and backers).

Re: Gateshead - ineligible for playoffs
It sounds like their council have shafted them. The league needed confirmation of at least a10 year tenure at the stadium, and the council refused to give it. Bizarre.

Re: Once the dust settles...
We never owned Feethams, but it did the job for the best part of a century.
I don't like BM that much, but I fear we are nowhere near getting a new ground. We might have to make do for quite a few more years, in which case we would have to spend money on it.

The original plan had the Tin Shed at the other end, until Northumbrian Water objected and the plans had to be revised.

Re: Well how did we do that?
Why do threads always descend into personal point-scoring?

The fans played a huge part too - without raising the £30k Watson wouldn't have been able to bring in the players he did.

Re: Darlington v Farsley 13/04/24
We’ve had a few 3-1 wins under Watson. I haven’t done my research, but I’d guess that was the most regular scoreline since he took over.

Re: Whether today
If darlo win it will be down to the players and management, not because a few fans made a request to am imaginary being (or because I wore my lucky underpants, or other such superstitions).
Say a prayer to your God Iif it makes you feel better, but don't expect it to impact the outcome.

It’s those Fred Bloggs putting in their £20 a game that are the lifeblood of a football team, and will be the ones picking up the pieces after the chancers, crooks and grifters have moved on. They have every right to question the motives and integrity of the people taking over - as any Darlo fan wil...

Re: Easter Monday at Warrington Town
Just seen the goals. Fantastic tackle from Rivers in the lead up to the first goal - his contribution is often overlooked by some.
Main has scored 4 so far, but how many has he created? He is one of the biggest reasons for our change in fortune.

Interesting to see Hatfield, Griffiths and Cornish all dropped, and good to see Nelson back on the Bench. At least we will have some options to change things around if it isn't working out.

There seems to be a fair bit of whitewashing of Armstrong’s contribution to our malaise. Gowling was woeful, certainly, and made a bad situation worse. But he inherited a shitshow - 2023 under Armstrong was execrable, and he really shouldn’t have been kept on for this season. We are in this mess bec...

Re: Leamington new ground
Am I right in thinking that the Leamington ground will be all seater (unclear from the plans)? I think we would need to preserve terrracing in any future stadium (and possibly half time migration), i would imagine that would cut the cost too. One big stand, and 3 tin sheds would be sufficient for ou...

Re: City Go Nap as Quakers Halt Slump
I also have a copy but have no memory of how/where I bought it.
It’s great to have a photographic document of times gone by. Feethams seems like another world now. The memories (and smells) of playing there are fading in my aging brain.

There are a lot of grand words in the announcement, but it remains to be seen whether the regulator will have teeth.
