Re: AGM
It would appear that our former CM is now a big fan of Spennymoor Town. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk He used to play for them, Spennymoor United to be precise, and they were having an old boys reunion. One of their match day sponsors yesterday also sponsored Darlo games a couple of times whil...

Re: Craig Morely
I agree tbh, that was until you've said that sponsorships received have been effectively entirely down to friendship and are pulled the moment someone is no longer the commercial manager? Using your network is using professional relationships for a broader business purpose, and to get in front of t...

Re: Craig Morely
I'm with Spyman on this one - if our commercial offering is dependent on our commercial manager being mates with people to get takers then our commercial manager should spend time refining our commercial offering. From the outside looking in I thought that’s what had been happening. In the meantime...

Re: Craig Morely
Seems a weird business decision to pull your sponsorship because ban individual has left, regardless of how well you got on with that person. If the package you're getting is not affected, then nothing has changed. If it was good for your business before, it still is now. If you were a potential sp...

Re: Craig Morely
For several seasons we were saying we needed to employ somebody to exploit the commercial opportunities. We had people in on a commission basis and they lasted 5 minutes. Then we had other people at the club doing it on a voluntary basis but people complained when it became apparent they were getti...

Re: Craig Morely
I’d like to know what the financials were to be honest, as commercial actually has been very healthy looking from the outside in. If the wage of a commercial manager has not been covered and we were joy well in the way to having deal lined up to cover year 2 then I’d be disappointed. If this was th...

Re: Elliot and Connel
Use the short term loan market to cover injuries to your no.1. That's what we did. Connell was a short term loan to cover Elliott's injury, but he did well and there was a clamour to make it long term. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk I agree we did. But, like you said we extended the loan, now ...

Re: Tommy Wright: 19/20 Season. Yay or Nay
We will reap what we sow, we need to build the club over a few seasons to get it ready for the league above. It’s already been decided that the budget for next season will be based around loan players in the squad so that makes life even harder. Wholesale changes again in the summer will disrupt us ...

Re: 2 New Signings Today
Will be interesting to see what formation we go with tomorrow, esp with Hughes back and wanting to play. It looked like a 4-4-2 v Bishop with Henshall on the left and Thommo on the right, with Ainge and Harvey up front? A bit like how we finished at Curzon Ashton. I presume they’ll revert to 3-5-2 ...

Re: BE PART OF THE FABRIC OF DARLINGTON FOOTBALL CLUB

Re: John Tempest standing down
