Darlo Uncovered

if we dont start the season, or play a full season, then how can promotion or relegation happen.
It also means any football below the "elite" levels is a waste of time.
It will be like how the Darlo cricket league worked this summer, nothing riding on the games.

Thing is they are not packing people into pubs. Pubs must provide table service only. A pub can only be as packed as the area allows with tables socially distanced from each other. Think how much seating is actually available once a distancing is applied and how much space there will actually be. I...

The concourses were a mess too. I wouldn't be keen on buying food from any of the old kiosks without a serious deep clean.

Sorry must of missed that he caragotigally said that they are screwing us over regarding terms and revenue, I thought he was more than happy with the arrangement, Yes probably wanted more most chairman/CEO's do Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Who said they were screwing us over? All that has b...

A country with over 1 billion population as well?! I reckon 3k deaths was the hourly death rate not the total! I don't believe a word coming out of China. Plenty of rumours of 6 or 7 figure death totals but no way of proving it really. You’re suggesting that China can hide millions of coronavirus d...

A BBC article on the newsfeed yesterday showed a sporting event in Wuhan I think it may have been a swimming gala big crowd in no face masks no social distancing and bearing in mind this is where the outbreak began just two months before our season was put on hold let us hold on to the dream when w...

Would you be happy to have all your earnings shared with the local druggie or dosser?

Like Brad does at Spenny you mean?

Hehehe. Maybe Brad will buy them some web space so they can have their own forum. They won't need much bandwidth.

They could call it a Fourum after the number of fans they actually have.

If O'Neill hadn't been recalled a few days before our biggest game for years then people probably would have just wished him luck and got over it.
As has been said it was Woodgates right to recall O'Neill and we have no reason to complain. It was the timing that sucked and thats all.

Its highly likely that away fans could be banned while restrictions on attendances are in place.

Thought it was David Lucas who came around the same time as Moilanen. 2002 seems a bit late I don't recall the east stand being built when Moilanen was with us. Yeah I think your right I was trying to rack my tiny brain last night.. [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk All 3 came from Pr...

From what I have heard, Hunt actually approached us with a view to signing. AA checked him out and decided it was one that was good enough to go ahead with.
As has been said elsewhere, he could easily have got a better pay packet elsewhere and probably far closer to his home.

Looks like Boris has made up his mind and from 24th July we'll all have to wear a face covering in shops. So if it's compulsory I thought I'd make a statement and have created a couple of personalised ones from Snapfish. One is a 'C'mon Darlo design. If anyone else wishes to order their own I'm inc...

I also remember a mr upshall being the main man at the time of the proposed development saying it wouldn't cost darlington council a anything for this development as they had all funding covered, they also didn't hide the fact that they would be able to see a return on their investment. Leaving dar...

Whilst it would be nice to keep progressing through the leagues, it's not the end of the world that we are at Blackwell for the time being. When all is considered, at least we have a club we have some sense of control over and we have a team that plays for the shirt rather than what they can get in ...

Within 5 years it could be a rusting lump resembling the hull of the Titanic.

On close inspection its like that already.

It's a pity that Alun didn't mention the btb in his interview, but like others have said a 'great article'. Why does it matter? It’s had a significant amount of exposure, to the point where many others are following suit now. I wouldn’t exactly call it a pity that it didn’t get a mention in a regio...

The FA is a private club and make up their own rules. Unless this conflicts with the law of the land then there is nothing a solicitor can do to overturn any decision made by the FA. Its like when a player is on an FA charge, they word any charge in a way that means they can get you on something. An...

Hartlepools attempt seems to have stalled a bit

From what I understand Burn was offered loan moves to get some game time and he turned them down. If a player is struggling and not playing any football at all then a loan move is the best thing to do, yet he didn't take them up on it. So despite being a massive disappointment on the pitch, he made ...

Grantham

Give me Grantham over the International Stadium any day! At least the stand on the far side is a size where you can get some sort of atmosphere going.

Anyways hope that's clarified a few things and I don't see why the dispute between fans of both club. Any bad feeling is probably down to the Heed fans who were waving tenners at Darlo fans the last time we met at the arena when we were in the mire financially. I have no gripe with Gateshead as a c...

The entire sports desk team were furloughed. Ironically Loughlin was on his way out until the Teesside editor position became available.
Now he's treading on the toes of his former sports desk colleagues by doing their work while they are twiddling their thumbs.

There is no question Spenny fans would step up if needed. Fortunately for them their club is run in a sustainable way and they generate enough money through their large gate receipts and sponsorship. Also given their prudent financial management and the fact they do not pay over the top wages means...

Was Stockdale from there? Or Gabbiadini?

Think he means since we got chucked down the leagues. Been a few switched direct before then, Borthwick, Astbury, Evans, amongst others.

Good luck Tommy, I hope things work out for you & I'll be watching your results with interest. At least he is relatively ear to his home in Leicester.

Agreed Pete at least it isn’t the other side of the lobe

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 ...

This is going to be on a par with the classic seven-figure denial in the face of it being clearly written down in black and white

Exactly what i was thinking. Spen has probably been too busy with his dick in his hand to have thought that post through.

He had transformed from our match winner to a long running servant who was a great option on the bench, or performed on occasion, rather than with the consistency that marked his earlier years with us. There’s nothing wrong with that, and it’s not insulting Thommo, whose service should be recognise...
