Re: Which grounds have you seen Darlo playing at?
If we're talking non-league that were league at the time Southport (my first ever Darlo game 1978?) and Hereford one of my faves, play off semi. Blackpool (in the rain!!) I was at the Southport game, memorable for two reasons, I got a lift from my friend on the back of his Suzuki 750. When I got of...

John Burridge

Marco Gabbiadini

Probably a very unbalanced side with two old fashioned wingers but some fantastic players from the last forty years

Re: Best Quakers performance ever
The 1-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday with the Ron Ferguson 40 yard screamer in the League Cup c1976.
Or the 4-0 demolition of Brighton at Priestfield Stadium in the early nineties. Not too sure of the exact dates but in the latter Marco was the star.

Re: Workington fc
Thanks MP. Looking at that team it makes you wonder why we were so bad in those days. Barry Lyons, a fantastic midfielder, Eddie Rowles, I remember him getting over twenty in one season and stalwarts like Clive Nattress, ah the years are falling away as I reminisce.

Workington fc
Not a statto by any means but I remember going to a Workington away match in 1976 and I think we came away with a 3-2 victory. Not sure if this was the last time we ever played them or not, my forty year recollection is somewhat rusty. Perhaps someone more informed could enlighten me.

Re: Boro 85
I remember that some of the fencing poles had been removed from the cricket pitch and were being used as weapons. I lived in Victoria Road at the time and a Boro fan threw a 50p piece through my front room window. Apart from the fighting it was a great match

Re: Paul Trevillion
Remember all the TV hype as we were rock bottom and hadn't won for some time. Centre half John Stone was converted to a striker that day and scored the last goal. Wasn't he some kind of illusionist or hypnotist that correctly forecasted before the game that we would win six nil

Peter Taylor just confirmed as new manager. He is a bit of a face down here in Kent having been with Gills in a previous promotion season. Allen didn't get a fair crack of the whip though. Another moment of Paul Scally madness

Re: Some ppl on here need to remember...
I wonder how many League One and Two clubs are making a profit at present. Not many I'm sure. I blame the top heavy finances thrown at the Premiership, the distribution of wealth throughout the leagues has diminished since it's inception which has led to the demise of the lower leagues. Its just lik...

Re: Darlington supporters Lottery syndicate
I love your optimism and take my hat off to you but say a 100 of us scooped a ten million pound jackpot, could we realistically hand over a cheque for 100k each. Being brutally honest and I love this club, but I couldn't.

I too feel totally gutted at the situation we are in.

But Darlo have always been my team and always will be despite the last 26 years livi...

Re: Darlington supporters Lottery syndicate
Taking a cynical overview on this one, if we were to win a considerable amount on the lottery would we not all feel agrieved in handing over what would be life changing amounts of money to all of us to a complete and utter charlatan in Singh.

Re: Stan James have betting up on new manager
Agree with Brian Laws as the best candidate on the list. He might want to drop down to our level to build up his reputation after a battering whilst at Burnley.He achieved two promotions at Scunthorpe and I remember him as a class full back in the short time he spent with us at the end of his career.

Re: Thank you!!!
The proudest moment in 41 years of watching Darlington.I took my son who is a Gillingham supporter and he was totally overwhelmed by the whole day. I think he may be converted.
Congratulations to the team and the manager and everyone involved, what a fantastic day.
