Darlo Uncovered

Considering Ray is a paid employee, I expected more updates about the season coming up (Interviews with AA, the players maybe). But nothing recently, apart from a 8/9 part Zoom interview with an ex player. Would have been nice to get a statement on how the club felt personally regarding the 'no fans...

Apparently we held a practice match against Hartlepool United today and drew 2-2.

I must add this was mixed 11 from Pools.

If fans aren't allowed in games, then why are we playing at the Arena?

Paying 2 bits of rent for 2 stadiums when we still aren't allowed to attend. Doesn't make sense to me. Or have I missed something about this.

We've drawn Prescot Cables at home next Saturday.

What would happen if the majority of NLN clubs simply turned round and said NO. If 50% or more teams drop out surely the league couldn’t happen. It’s a matter of the clubs sticking together to make change happen.

Try telling York City that..

Sure I seen on Twitter that still have to pay them the annual fee, supposedly 60k... But the rest was effectively pay as you go.

Thanks Fleetwood for the reality check. We need more games to give us time as a unit playing against some decent sides to hone ourselves. Players need to build up on-the-field trust and understanding of each other and how they fit into AA's scheme. Reality check? Eh, how.. We've trained twice and t...

Trying to work out who the new trialist GK and other outfield trialists are. Anyone got any clues who they are..

Seen on Twitter that they are apparently: GK - Jonathan Saltmer, released from Barrow and the outfield player is supposedly Elton Ngwatala (but he left Chester to return to France).

We didn't take the 'first step' to support a 'new' club.

We never died, we just got a name change forced upon us. We are still the same Darlington FC we were 10 years ago. Good luck with the fan-owned club.

So, back onto subject...

Have we had an official communication yet about us going back to the arena temporarily or are we staying at BM for the season?

I think there's something uniquely toxic about how people use facebook that is somehow worse than other social media. It seems far more abusive than anything else. I stopped using it years ago. I try to keep a policy of not saying something on the internet that I wouldn't say in person but for a lo...

Agree the website is shocking, and it has been for a while, potential sponsors investors must think the club is Operated by historians Or Ray Simpson... :clap: The website is massively outdated for me and has been for years, it's just littered with stuff that just isn't necessary in my opinion. We ...

Surely this is a private matter, if these two resigned it was because they had personal reasons to do so, com,on let's not make a mountain out of a molehill. They resigned it was accepted end of, the club moves on. The posts seen indicated that they left because of 'personal reasons'. There's been ...

Would love to know the reasons for the resignation like, I've seen tweets and other things on Social Media slagging parts of the board off, now swiftly deleted.

Something isn't adding up..

Certainly getting a lot of exposure at the minute, can't be a bad thing at all

Although he didn't chip in with as many goals as perhaps he should have.

Just the 20/30 goals he chipped in with, suppose that’s not enough from CM

Yawn - another Spennymoor related comment. They aren’t our rivals, let them do their own thing. Granted I call Spen out on his blatant attempts to stir the pot on here, and although their fans can be obsessed with us at times, I have no idea why it’s reciprocated. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Not a fan of the arena whatsoever, but if it means we can all watch the home games live in person - Then I am all for it in the short term. My only worry is that we'll still have to pay the 60k (rumoured fee) yearly fees to Blackwell Meadows despite not playing there & also paying DMP rent too. Just...

I really enjoyed yesterdays game, a good advert for non league football. As someone else said: crowds, history etc does not put a team in the football league these days. After the crap last season with notts im sure they were glad to even make the play offs and if they keep the same management im s...

Spendy fans must be worried that Brad Groves may turn his attention to taking over Newcastle United now that Saudis have dropped out & Ashley is desperate to unload.

We started pre-season last Saturday apparently.

Least we’ll have a chance to visit the new ground.

I just can't see how the season can start if areas of the North are being locked down or partially locked down. The reality is that we are facing a second surge in Coronavirus & that could end any chance of a new season started this season. Sorry for being so gloomy, but I think people who are hopi...

Haway then, give es a hint of who it is?

I've heard rumours of Sol Brynn signing a season long loan from Boro.

Did anyone else see the EFL chairman being secretly recorded talking about a bet being placed in the Philippines about Wigan being relegated.

Absolute madness.

Chester have announced that theirs has now beaten the £80'000 barrier. That's not a bar effort in all fairness.

With 50 days to hit a 100k target, they were always gonna smash that target.

They’ll hit 150k no bother, credit where credits due

South Shields appeal cost them 200k in legal fees.

Would be a bonus if Boston Utd went up through the play-offs as it is like King's Lynn, a helluva way to go for an away game. Equally, Brackley would not be a great loss, although quite a few Darlo exiles in the South do make it to that fixture. Thought Chester were against play-offs due to the cos...

Did Tez get offered a testimonial like Thommo, does anyone know?

The last thing we need is another Styche type of character who thinks they are a cut above the rest.

The same Reece Styche who saved us from going down?
