Darlo Uncovered

It would take a whopper of a btb to get smith and charman in, I'd think

I'm amazed main is playing in this league, and that York let him go. He really is outstanding at our level. I know there were a lot of individual factors in our survival, but he is a big one.

Fair enough, they're just expensive then

Looks like the first two blocks have sold out already.

Do they usually charge £19 entry? Or are we being milked for cash again?

So, if I'm looking at this correctly, we beat Farsley on Sat and we are mathematically safe as, regardless of what Blyth do in their last two games, Farsley won't be able to catch us.

Correct. It's a big old game.

I have to say I'll feel a lot more comfortable with all this talk as and when we are actually safe, rather than two points ahead with six to play for

Kings Lynn Chairman - Stephen Cleeve - has appeared to indicate that both Rushall & Warrington have been granted extensions until the end of April to get their respective grounds up to scratch.

Based on how rushall looked a couple of weeks ago, will that be enough?

What S.W. has achieved has been very impressive. Thinking back over the last 30 years I'm not sure whether I can think of another Darlo manager who has orchestrated such a dramatic turnaround on the pitch. Gray did well to make a team from nothing and Cooper did well to win the Trophy, but Watson h...

There is a Quakers connection to West Ham's 1975 cup-winners - Tommy Taylor was our manager for a while - did he do anything noteworthy with us?

I think we were generally crap under Taylor, but did he sign the bald eagle Barry Conlon?

What we need to aim for is to start the game in the manner that we went about the Scunny game. Chorley have occasionally been slow starters, as in their last match against Boston, and we need to get at them from the off with help from what should be a decent crowd. It would be good to go some way t...

If they end up staying there next season they should stick them in the national league north

Taylor's done well today. We've been second to the ball and didn't close down on the edge of the box. They deserved their win.

He absolutely has not

For me is keep the following - Griffiths , Hedley , Lees , Barrow , Platt , Hatfield, Salkeld , Cornish , Nelson , Main Undecided on Lindley and Rivers at this point , the rest I think we should move on Maybe lindley will have a good career, I hope he does, but I don't think it will be with us pers...

Looking on NLTV website our game at Rushall is not listed as being available to watch, which is disappointing. I would have thought there would be plenty of demand from Darlington supporters to stream this game given how crucial it is. I can see that we could take around 400 fans, especially if it ...

I'm pretty sure someone did some analysis on twitter a while ago that shows Curzon are well run and generate plenty of revenue off the pitch so they're not subsidised.

Plenty of other clubs who are far worse examples.

Armstrong looked utterly broken after beck left, and that very plainly seeped into the team. Jacob Blyth flopped, but he spent his whole time with us hearing interviews in which Armstrong implied he wasn't good enough. Whatever Armstrong did before then - and a whole load of it was good to great - f...

Talking of injury prone players, I have a memory of Noel Whelan coming on as a sub at the Arena and pulling his hamstring as he ran onto the pitch and had to be taken off straight away. Please tell me I haven’t imagined it and this really happened 🤔 Almost - I reckon he lasted maybe two or three mi...

Also, that vile Hartlepool-ish away kit needs to be consigned to the dustbin of history. Just as much to blame for our relegation as Gowling ;) Why has it taken so long this season to root out the cause of the problem? This is obviously a major contributor, and evidence we should never wear blue ag...

Doesn't matter, we're done now. And deservedly so. Can't wait to bin this shower if shite off in the summer and start again.

Yeah, moke is good and a popular player, but creative he ain't, and that's our issue at the moment

Does it? Christ, I was hoping it was nearly finished.

God, please make this season stop

Well that is an absolute bloody disaster.

Shame other results didn't quite go to plan today - Gloucester seem to be putting a run together so we might need to catch up with some other teams. Spennymoor are starting to get sucked in and their form seems to be horrible. We always had to catch up with Southport, Banbury and Rushall really. Ca...

This might be a bit negative but a windy game could level things out and hamper the better team more than the other. That would be in our favour of course - every little helps and if Asante plays the ball might bump into him and confuse their keeper on the way in at a queer angle. I can't imagine h...

Be great to start spending some of it any minute now really

For a Northern League side Redcar Athletic have clearly got some serious amount of money behind them to have signed Dale Hopson, Adam Boyes, Jason Kennedy, Curtis Round and Kev Burgess.

And yet in the fullness of time I'm sure they'll go exactly the same was as marske

Pffffffttt. We needed that. Ground it out, sucker punch, lovely stuff!

Not a lot of creativity in that line up. But then you could say that about every match so far this season.

I think it shows pretty clearly where btb2 needs to be spent.

Is Griffiths injured?
