Darlo Uncovered

Draw was a fair result, Very happy with Syers and Nicholson performances, however Saunders on left wing did not work for me, he continually kept looking at bench for help. Ohanlon who is highly rated by TW was poor defending rarely stopping a cross or making a tackle until last minute. Trotman had ...

After the fiasco of last seasons playoffs North and South didn't they say that the rule would be looked at regarding having 500 seats just to play in the playoffs? The new playoff rules makes the seats rule even more daft tbh. A team could finish 7th. Have no opportunity to play any home playoffs i...

I make absolutely no apologies that I am set on the club living within its means and the destiny of the club being in the hands of the fans. I aspire for us to achieve the highest possible position we can within that remit. I think that is beyond just existing. If to get external investment it mean...

He used to own the club. And left it for dead. Now I own this club. My dad owns this club. Most of you own this club. We've worked too hard to give it up for a paltry amount. We've raised probably close to £1M to rectify the mess he dumped us in. Sustainability over boom and bust. I don't trust him...

Cheesed off. Stupid rule. The Vanarama needs to give it's head a shake, listen to it's clubs and sort it out. Typical FA, fan owned club trying to make it's way up the divisions, just moved to a newly developed ground, met the FAs exacting standards but let's kick them in the teeth. The problem is ...

Ok I stand admonished, Not trying to admonish anyone, just my own view. Like I said, it is all subjective. Personally, I think those two admissions of the error don't leave us much of a leg to stand on. In an appeal, I wouldn't have personally included those phrases as every single word is absolute...

The appeal is well written and well considered, despite the resident troll's contribution. Even if it comes to nothing, it raises, I believe, a couple of fair points, and we ultimately have nothing to lose. Of course "well written" is subjective but these two parts stood out to me which make me thi...

I was going to say, for all plenty of us are very fed up, I haven't really seen personal directed abuse on here. I think it's a damned shame, I didn't want to see anyone go. That said, whoever is putting the clubs messages out needs to think about their wording and wider public relations. There was...

Additionally, I can see absolutely no substance at all in their allegations against the previous board, when it seems most people agree that theey did a strong job at balancing the clubs finances and planning the first stages of the move to Blackwell. Have the football club board alleged anything a...

And why would there be anymore trust in a new board who'd have to start things from scratch? I haven't advocated wanting a new board anywhere. But to at least begin to regain my trust, I feel that they need to firstly apologise for their error (and it is theirs) and then explain why it happened, an...

The statement from the DFCSG makes no mention of this being any kind of oversight or mistake. No apology again. They state that every effort was made by the directors to explore alternative options and the club have been in discussion with the league for some time. The error was clealy discovered a...

Clearly, they didn't do this. If they had, you are right, we wouldn't be where we are now. That is why I see it as such a basic error. Nope we'd be probably fighting relegation... You've lost me..... £150k is 50% of our revenue - god knows how much of our playing budget. ........or the board would ...

I would expect the entire board to take responsibility for that decision. I actually think they already have. I'll be honest that is how I read the comms, they didn't pass blame on that. The problem is the collective board taking responsibility doesn't give Yarblockos his person to shout at next ti...

Football is an emotive sport and we have to remember that it is just a game, it isn't a matter of life and death. I am sure the person responsible for this feels terrible and hopefully we can move forward in a positive and constructive manner, whatever shape that takes. I am not convinced that some...

Do you know someone on the board btw? Nope. I know who they are - obviously since I am a DFCSG member so was able to vote. If you think this doesn't fall under someone's remit who is currently on the board then I'm not sure it's even worth carrying on this debate. No I am asking you who - who is He...

The board have dropped a bollock. Mistakes happen. Will we be in any greater position if they resign? I doubt it. They all appear on paper to have the right skill sets for the position from what I can see. The one thing missing - experience of running a football club. Have we anyone out there eager...

I'm afraid the statement from the board doesn't come across too well to me. Plenty of deflection going on but not an acceptance of a major error on their part. Neither the word 'apology' nor 'sorry' appears once in it. I'm not looking to start some sort of witchhunt but how do the board expect the f...

Financial controls broke down after Martin Jesper left. Dave Mills & club accountant had these processes fully handed over to them but for whatever reason they weren't continued. Also coincided with that long run of postponed home games. Dave Mills resigned in early Feb 2016 & short term cash flow ...

I got mine done by a company called Barmy Flags. It's 10ft x 5ft if I remember correctly and came in at about £150.

This is why we have elections to the board, to ensure that the club is being run to a decent and competent level whilst we entrust them to handle large financial decisions which will affect the future of the club. You have hit the nail on the head there though. That is how they are held accountable...

Some people on here really ought to have a think about what they are saying. Owners of the past were 'incompetent' and idiots. People like Houghton and Singh who shafted this club well and truly - all whilst taking a hefty wage and driving around in flash cars and pretending they cared for the club...

Only way forward is an honest and fair appraisal of what went wrong. I presume it's one of the 3 below. 1 - Someone missed this rule. 2 - We took the decision not to upgrade as we thought the team would not be in the playoffs. 3 - The league gave us some discretion on the rule but we are now not su...

Some people have well and truly spit their dummies out. Suggestions that the whole board should just resign at the AGM regardless of having people voted into replace just screams knee-jerk - and perhaps it's fortunate someone who combusts so quickly isn't in charge of the club. I wouldn't want nor ...

If we are ruled against and can't compete in the play-offs, I can't help but think we've probably wasted a lot of money and stretched our finances to build a squad capable of pushing for promotion this season, when, if we had done our due diligence on the ground grading, we could have saved some of ...
