Re: Asante Starts
Greek guy Vasileiou is surely got to go down in DFC history as one of the most obscure signings we’ve had given he’s never seemed to appear!

Re: Once the dust settles...
Staying put still doesn't answer the issue about non match day income, or getting all the matchday income that we raise without having it syphoned off to pay the landlords. This is exactly it and the whole point we need our own facilities. DJ had said recently that if we sold out all hospitality, p...

Re: Once the dust settles...
I think one of the prime examples has got to be Accrington Stanley. There hospitality options for the size of their club/stadium/fan base are awesome, and you can see why the owner has spent so much money in recent years upgrading specifically in to that side of the business "losses last season of ...

Ps, that’s a brilliant photo Feethams. George looks a bit bonkers, Tino looks a bit shifty.

Re: Easter Monday at Warrington Town
Anyone see/hear what went off with their player Clarke?
The lads had words through first half with an Darlo fan on the far side and it looked like at the end of game the Darlo fan tried to shake his hand but he refused.

Since then he’s brought in a load of questionable loanees and left out half the first team so what’s the actual plan? Personally feel there’s a l...

Re: The worst and best manager performances after 10 games?
I think Todd first 10 was 8 defeats and 2 draws. That’s league only. Managed draws against Cheltenham and Grimsby.
Staunton was 8 defeats, 2 wins. Beat Shrewsbury &Burton.

Re: Alfreton v Darlington 04.03.23
Another disappointing game. 2 nil up and we were playing like it could have been 4-5 but we've lost our composure and thrown it away. We seem to be inviting teams to have a go at us, and inevitably the pressure becomes too much. Whenever we won the ball back, we only had two options - lump it up to ...

Lots of suggestions that the club may have got rid of CM but what if he was the one that walked ?
He may have told the club he's gone as far as he can with the limitations BM holds regarding corporate sponsorship and is unable to take things to the next level.

Burn has not impressed in the slightest, still remember his efforts against Hartlepool and for someone who was supposed to be brought in with high expectations has serious fallen short. Depending on what wage Maddison is on - he might be worth keeping as a back up. I would imagine Ainge to be on hig...

Re: Hereford v Darlington Match Thread
If being relegated means Wright leaves with some of the Midlands lads, and we end up signing a few more local players who play with their hearts on their sleeves then i'd take it. Give me a choice of Evo Stik football like Whitby away then i'd gladly take it over the current crap.

Burn spent most of the first half stood talking to the fans down near the turnstiles. I would have thought his time would have been better spent watching the game and how the players on both sides were doing, and perhaps listening to TW and AW's thoughts. If he wanted to have a chat and kick a ball ...
