Darlo Uncovered

and , to be fair to Spenny, they did save the Coxhoe team to play in that form rather than fold completely

Yeh but we're no Spennymoor, we do things by the book. I'd imagine that the prospect of a few extra people at games might just swing it our way. Jimmy do we know if there are any other applicants for a place in the top division? its not the way they got in thats the biggie, mate. Its contracted pla...

Wearside League AGM tonight - and according to our website were going for one of the 2 vacancies in the top division (created by Seaton Carew FC s demise and Easingtons promotion with no team relegated from the NL due to Celtic Nation folding). Club planning a presentation after canvassing support f...

still a top keeper and a nice lad too - best of luck with the Bishops

we went into a play-off final... Friday 26th May 2000. Lashing it down all day, Wembley pitch similar to that abandoned game at Kendal this season. But we turned up and put in a really good performance for 70 minutes before tiring and losing 1-0. Was the occasion that gave what the entire footballi...

more likely to get into this new development league the Wearside are starting? To get in we'd have to be voted in so any vacancy would be chosen by the existing members. Reserve teams arent particularly popular - Spenny only got in by way of a name change for an existing member, and that created qui...

nice little plug for the lads on Football Focus today - Phil Neville says he was listening to the Warrington commentary on Darlo Radio - shame we couldnt have kept it going to the final game

Not this again!.Done to death,we can't afford one and most fans don't want one. My thoughts too. In fact - Not this again!.Done to death,we can't afford one and most fans don't want one. I presume either of you have evidence to claim "most fans" don't want it. check the board for previous threads o...

George built there against council advice, so they were never gonna go easy on us? Mowdens now its only hope.........but yeah , the one rule for one and another for us is a bit hard to bear

been a shadow of his former self this season , struggled with injury

Adidas supplied the 3 hoop shirt worn in late 60's and early 70's. We were maybe the first team wearing their shirts with 3 hoops or stripes. Old DFC never checked this up to get a 50th year anniversary shirt/sponsorship. surely this could still happen? Fifty years on late 60s takes us to 2018 or 2...

yeah, but its happening too often - the lessons not being learned, and if other teams cotton on to the fact that we have players and officials who easily lose their rag we might have a problem

dont think the music festival helped either - not many there but the weather was rotten - deffo happening next year, and over three days instead of two. Lets hope its not our concern next season because we're back home

crowd at 1023..........cant decide whether thats good or bad?

A five week month, so a long time since payday, five weeks before Christmas, so moneys tight.........but a game on the back of a great unbeaten run?

Balancing it all up, think its probably o.k

could have gone either way, both teams had some good chances.........but "played off the park"?????.......give your heed a shake mate

Work was completed on the pitch after that event, the pitch has been totally re-seeded and is looking good.

thats good to know

dont suppose anyone knows what condition the pitch is like at the moment? Was at the Wannasee Tribute festival they had a few weeks ago. The weather was crap and the pitch didnt look great. The stage was set up in the Shed End and that goalmouth looked rough before it started so dont suppose it did ...

No reasoning to their decision whatsoever. Might as well have just said 'The FA have rejected Darlington 1883's name change to Darlington F.C. just coz....'.

..........we aint screwed them enough yet

Well the Northern League won 2-0 against a Blyth & Whitby XI. It doesn't sound like Mike Amos is particularly impressed with the 305 attendance. http://northernleague.org/blog/view_latest_chairmans_blog.php Have to agree with many of the comments on Non League Zone - why oh why were they so bothere...

this was my post originally, and my opinion aint changed regardless of the postponements weve had - still prefer grass, but if the grants were there to install one at a reasonable cost and proof was there that demand for the facility would make us good money I would say do it

Dave Knight was undoubtedly terrible.....but hadnt we had him previously when hed been decent? unless me mind is going, remember being quite happy when I heard he was coming back.........until he played

How about this for a team:- GK - Nick Liversedge RB - Rikki Baines CB - Lewis Hardman LB - Joe Kendrick RM - Ross Chisholm CM - Chris Lumsdon CM - Neale McDermott LM - Jeff Smith RF - Paul Beavers CF - Paddy Deane LF - Jefferson Louis Great bad team, but I disagree with the selection of Joe Kendric...

Some people are mixing up truly terrible players with players that either didn't live up to their billing, or simply didn't stay around very long. Whoever mentioned Matt Clarke, who was a mainstay of a pretty reasonable League 2 defence for several seasons, is quite frankly clueless. Agreed...........

You could have reeled out any 11 random names and I would have believed it's their line up.

me too ........if you'd finished with Cuthbert,Dibble and Grubb I might have been a tad suspicious, mind

surprised no ones mentioned this? Canny little read - Bell said that, at 31, Darlington will be his last club. He'll stay as long as MG wants him to, but has no plans to ever drop back down to the NL. He also said what a great influence Tony Normans been. Would like to think that we have him for a g...

the floodlights were on last night till around 9 oclock, dunno if work was going on or just having a look?

pretty wet and miserable in Bish this morning as its already sodden round here its not looking great

I make no claim to be the oldest fan , indeed I know I am not , but I can truthfully claim to have watched the Quakers on the terraces at Feethams standing behind the goal in 1951 years before the Tin Shed was built . We are for ever Darlington Football Club it never occurs to me that I am supporti...

that has been obvious for months - in fact other clubs experience always suggested that from day one we had to be away from H.P. and back home a.s.a.p

wasnt there on Sat, but Ramsbottom came looking to stay solid with the two banks of four, and we just didnt have the invention to break them down? - in my mind,with the full time introduction of White the defensive problems of earier in the season have subsided a bit - the forwards who were getting ...
