Vote Labour or you will forever have a Tory government.
Page 48 of their manifesto spells it out.

Vote labour and they will bankrupt the country, yet again, and quicker than ever before.

And the tories will get back in AGAIN and we will have austerity AGAIN and they'll get the blame AGAIN!

The only assets we have down there are the stands which I guess we will have to maintain. Its up to the rugby club to ensure everything else is up to standard and in full working order. Plus the floodlights were in place long before we ever turned up. They may have been upgraded but they belong to t...

The Lib Dems aren’t going to win seats here so it’s almost pointless them sending their leadership. But it’s very surprising Labour wouldn’t. No wonder people feel disconnected, as if the Labour Party doesn’t represent them. There’s three tight marginals in the North East: Darlington, Bishop and St...

not sure I would change that starting 11 for the next game.

We will have no choice. Connell is missing next week as its a trophy game.

This is a regular occurrence where the football club collect for food banks. I've never seen a thread about them descend into a political rant in to the rights and wrongs of food banks. It looks to me like a case of people who dont like the current government to try and make political points during ...

Looking at the goals yesterday, the first one was Campbells fault, the second one the whole team switched off and we were caught out, and the third one was due to a dreadful kick by Connell. Laing wasn't personally responsible for any of the three goals conceded. I think people are too quick to jump...

Are you implying that Laing was the reason we lost today?

Be careful what you wish for. You won't realise what he contributes until he isn't there! How often was it said that Leon Scott should be dropped? How often did he end up back in the team? We thought we wouldn't miss Turbull as "his legs had gone" according to some, same with Brown, yet they were ex...

Or just possibly he has to have bodies on the bench but does not want to use them as he knows they are not ready. Much as we did a lot last season in fact. He has other bodies he could be using. One is a striker the same age as O'Neill who wasn't already out on loan but he had a stinker in his last...

3 weekends now that O'Neill has been kicking his heels. He would have benefited more staying at Darlo for the duration of the agreed loan at least.

Yes I would have him back as a squad player.

All Events Security, I believe a Darlington company, always provide the extra stewarding at a considerable cost to the club. What is the point of paying for stewards that are incapable of doing what they are paid to do. I'd bring in another security company straight away & demand a refund for what ...

Les, If that was aimed at me I am not advocating going back simply the fact I keep on reading that the arena broke the club. It didn't. People with agendas did. It was people with agendas that helped cause our downfall at the arena. However Mowden seem to be swimming against the tide too as their m...

No. He doesn't. He brings creativity though. You could argue, in games we are more fancied to win, that you withdraw one of the three central midfielders (Hatfield, Holness and Wheatley) for a more attacking / creative option. That could be Kneeshaw. Not sure I have an answer for clinical finishing...

Despite playing all that time against ten men I don't have any complaints after that. We came so close and must have had 80% of the possession but it just wouldn't go in. You also have to give Hereford credit for a really committed, battling, backs-to-the wall performance. All we needed was a bit m...

Why was the goal at the end not given? The whistle went just after the free kick, but why?

Donawa was stood too close to the wall, need to be 1m away or something like that.

Which is why I said we should look at another alternative should we not secure Connell permanently or back on loan. Elliott isn’t a bad goalkeeper, he’s average and was doing average prior to Connell coming in. Is he that bad that we need to rush out and replace him when Connell will be available f...

Depends if you’re happy with 13th/14th place or not. We all want the club to finish as high as possible but we also have to be sensible with what we spend money on too. Elliott is not a bad keeper but Connell is better on what we have seen. However the deal has to be right for the club and we cant ...

I’m more than willing to have a policy discussion about which approaches work for the country. I think there is a good discussion to be had. But if all you’re interested in is hurling insults, I’m not going to bother. You can choose to throw insults around and let your partisanship take over. Or yo...

Politics of envy rearing its ugly head again, Corbyn says we shouldn't have any billionaires.
Dont dare get rich or successful under labour.

The answers to all of those things are in this thread. I'm becoming increasingly aware that basic comprehension is not your strong point, so lets leave it here, shall we? Vote Johnson, get Trump. Your call, but don't expect civility for it :wave: The answer to my question is not in this thread. You...

Pretending you're on the fence about something when you've already made your mind up is dishonest... not that difficult.

Where did I say I was sitting on the fence? I’m very much on the conservative side of the fence when it comes to a choice between them and Corbyns labour.

So you were just being fundamentally dishonest then? Fair enough.

What on earth are you on about? Where have I been "dishonest" in this thread?

Quizzical look. Do you have to vote for a "main party"?

Unfortunately until they bring in PR then a vote for any of the main 2 (or 3 at a push) is a waste of a vote in the majority of constituencies.
Both main parties wouldnt go for PR anyway so the chance of that changing anytime soon is nil.

What impressed me the most was how much of a team we looked. We defended as a team, we attacked as a team. The effort was there for us to see. As Q says, it's like night and day in comparison. AA looks like he knows exactly what he's doing. Throughly enjoyed last nights game. Whilst they did have p...

Got to say its nice being on the right side of gramps for a change :lol: Everything he has posted on this thread is 100% correct. No one who is on the fence would be bothered by that comment. You'd already decided you were voting for them anyway. Drop the pretence. Yes I have decided who I am voting...

Well if you represent the standard of labour voters then I'm glad i wont be voting that way.
I'm surprised you didnt chuck "tory scum" in there for good measure along with "half wits" and "thick", since it seems Labour voters love to lower the tone like that.

I think it will be an easy decision this morning I'm afraid it's not stopped Raining since 12pm yesterday [emoji107] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Spennymoor is ON if anyone looking for a game And Stockton of course!

Final home game of the 2003/04 season against Swansea a steward was chasing a kid around the front of the West Stand and fell over to a massive cheer from the crowd.

Wasnt that a young Andy Park?

So, today we have the Speaker directly challenged as to his impartiality based on his ruling re' the government having a "rerun of Saturday" His response? .........To turn it into smirk-fest. Shame on the entire house. The Speaker who was warmly congratulated by the same complainers in March 2019 w...
