Brilliant idea, more than happy to chuck my WA admission into a bucket on Sat.
Win bonus is great idea & makes up for the (hopefully) lack of Darlo at that game.
Fuck West, ideas like this show we won't tolerate piss taking, yet still benefits our own team.
I'm in.

Re: Clark Keltie
Fucking ridiculous that people are squabbling about 'bummer', the price of mugs and the landlord at the March Hare. Darlo fans eh. We should be shouting from the rooftops about our start to the season, the way the team has gelled, how good crowds have been, the management and the squad strengthening...

Re: Arenas TRUE running costs!!!!
I reckon the questions "where do we get £x million to acquire land and build an infrastructure?" and "wouldn't that fundraising be better spent on leasing or acquiring the arena?" are valid. But 1883 were categoric in saying it's too much of a gamble. We simply can't afford it right now. For all it'...

Re: Fans urged to dig deep and to reinvest.
Thanks for confirming the DAFTS stance. Fully understand. I suspect the same may be true of Tykes but will wait and see Will be interesting to see how the potential 4/5 fan group representatives elected to the Board might condense into 2/3 and how this impacts appetite to invest. You are right, wait...

Re: Darlington Arena running costs
I'm also pro Arena, the facilities are first class and have such potential. I'm also pro me owning a six bed mansion with a swimming pool, games room and 7 acres. However, I can't afford it yet. So I will cut my cloth and not take the huge financial risk and stick with where I am for now. As has bee...

Question for Uncovered, Tykes, DAFTS, DFCSC

Re: My take on the ownership model
DAFTS has not invested as a group. It's an informal, social group, which has been involved in fundraising and sponsorship collectively and individually in the past and ready to do the same in the future. How you can convert this into 'votes' is hard to fathom. As individuals, many of us have invest...

Re: Back to the arena
The rent wasn't £270k. It was £10k plus 5% of any concert takings. I would love to see where this £270k comes from. I'm not saying it is wrong, but it does seem excessive. Does anyone have a break-down of the figure? Surely saving could have been made by "mothballing" 3 of the stands and rooms not ...

Re: Do we have the right mentality amongst fans for this to
The answer to the OP is YES Though with some of the bickering on here one might think otherwise. I like how 1883 are pretty much saying, "right, up to you lot. Do you want this to work or not?". Although the operating model isn't exactly as first envisaged they have had to make quick decisions witho...

Re: new stadium?
Never thought I would be favouring the Arena but its there. Staying at the arena isnt an option as far as I'm concerned. Tricky one isnt it, we probably cant stay as the deal to help us survive will more than likely hinge on the entire site being redeveloped and us relocating. But, if we take Divas...

Re: new stadium?
If we want to be at a reasonable level we really need to consider the Arena as a long term option. As Divas rightly says, balance the cost of building afresh (and the debt that would surely come from that) against the cost of staying. I've always disliked the Arena but having attended our Christmas ...
