Darlo Uncovered

I think Cardiff City playing in red was less of a disaster than any of these.

Which pub are we taking over... quite fancy a nice jar of real ale followed by fish and chips by the sea Those were the days....

Good plan. Three pints before the F+C though please

Hell there’s a few noisy buggggers there, all with a very limited vocabulary

yes

No. Still waiting...

Although Boston may count themselves unlucky, it's the correct decision. As Gramps said, where do you draw the line otherwise? To be fair, the goal came very quickly after the injury so I wouldn't accuse their players of unsporting behaviour regarding this particular incident. Normally, when there i...

I realised today how much I want to see the inside of a stadium again. If nothing changes re covid, then i think our first opportunities to see anything will be the jan away fixtures at southport, chester and kettering, all Tier 2 for the moment. Or will they automatically just ban us because the r...

It could be worse.
At least we were only knocked out of the FA Cup once this year.

As a 500 member, I will certainly excersize my privilege to attend live games when allowed. I am going to miss the live streams though (assuming they will have to stop), especially for the away matches which I would probably not have travelled to. I've looked forward to Saturday afternoons again of ...

Challenging for worst ref I've seen

Well that wasn't much fun to watch second half. First things first, and most importantly we won't win games giving away the two goals we did today. We invite pressure onto ourselves at the back by failing to win the first header and take control of the situation. On the ball I actually thought Lain...

Sure I seen on Twitter that still have to pay them the annual fee, supposedly 60k... But the rest was effectively pay as you go.

Jesus,surely that cant be right .Thats nearly 3 grand per home game plus any cup games or friendlies,

18-19 accounts state "rent and rates" £68,913

There's another angle to this.
If we do move back to Neasham Road, I hope the allowed capacity is as high as possible.
There will be a lot of football fans desperate to see live action but denied the chance due to imposed limits at their normal stamping ground.
This could actually be an opportunity.

Slightly off topic I know but just been rumaging through my programme collection and speaking of October 3rd it was on this date in 1978 42 years ago Darlington FC had a magical night out at goodison park to play Everton in a league cup 3rd round game. I remember it like yesterday they'd smashed Wi...

Yes the Rugby Club have their sign. Oh wait it isn't that we want our own sign, we want to replace their one - is that what we are after? Just because there is one for the Rugby Club doesn't mean they didn't need Council permission to erect it. Existence of one structure with your name on it doesn'...

Something very simple that the Rugby Club could do as a signal of goodwill is to allow the Football Club to put a sign up at the entrance on Grange Road. I know some people think it is not worth making a fuss about but to me it is symbolic of our relationship. We are not even allowed to advertise t...

Our best bet would be to gain control at Blackwell.
However that could be done..

A thread started by Darlogramps.
Who is going to heckle from the back benches?

You mean like this one.... "As I have said before I am not privy to the details of the Spennymoor Town finances so can't confirm or deny whether Brad has put £1 or £1m or £10m into the club. If you want to believe it is £1m then you believe it. I can't confirm or deny it as I do not have any eviden...

One thing I’ve never understood with certain Spenny fans is why they’re so keen to deny they’re bankrolled. I don’t get it. It’s actually more effective to just admit it, as it shuts down that line of attack much quicker. “We’re bankrolled, so what?” There’s not actually any issue with them living ...

I wonder if the new contracts have some caveat attached should games not be played until, say, next year. It will only be a good place to work so long as it is solvent.

For anyone who hasn’t seen, this is the key section from this morning’s update: “We have exercised the options and offered new contracts to all the players that finished the season with us with the only exclusion being Chris Elliott, and we are busy collating the responses. Luke Trotman has indicat...

Tightening the purse strings? I'm interested to know how many clubs voluntarily topped up the players salaries over the 80% furlough.

By the way, if it was the Manager's decision not to keep him on terms which he would accept, then of course that's his priviledge and what he is there for.
Doesn't stop me being disappointed though.

There's an assumption here that it's about money. Where he ends up might give a clue to that being the case. Phrases like "he was on double the money of some other players" are meaningless. We will always have a player who is on double the salary of another player. Personally I think the Manager was...

If he's good enough for Spennymoor then he's good enough for us. This is a classic case of a Manager favouring players that he has brought in over inherited personnel. He's definitely better than one lightweight winger from Blyth (for example) and he's certainly not over the top due to age or fitne...

I thought Thompson should have started in many of the games that he didn't this season. He ended up coming on at times when a miracle was required and (like any human being) couldn't always deliver it.
Very disappointed.
