Darlo Uncovered

Surely the message about Reid has to get through to AA sooner or later...... What's the message? AA rates him as a squad player, for the money he is on probably not a bad shout. Whilst he wouldn't be first on the teamsheet I can understand with Holness and Hatfield injured why he was selected. Just...

Had no buffering whatsoever from laptop to TV via chromecast.

Must be down to technology as opposed to the stream.

No idea what we were trying to do tonight. O'Neill playing deep was bizarre and should have been canned not persisted with. Reid offers precisely nothing and our midfield had no energy again. Unfortunately this is now 4 identical home performances which is a worrying trend. Yep that was the one big...

You have to unmute.

What a crazy amount of quality up front though with Maguire, Campbell, Charman and O'Neill. Looks like Amantchi will have to make way, the lad needs to play and he isn't really going to get it here currently.

Campbell isn't leaving in any way, he just meant playing 4-3-3 you can only play one of Maguire, Charman or O'Neill. Campbell on the other hand can play in 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 etc. you could argue some of the others possibly could be the three he mentioned all largely play as the spearhead of a three or ...

Don't think a loan scheme massively helps many of the clubs, it may help cash flow and I don't think we would take any major risks these days. However loaning money for day to day spends isn't the best plan, if clubs need it then they will/should but it seems like this could be just kicking the prob...

Refresh the page normally fixes that.

Does the 13.30 kick off change the situation on overnight hotel costs. To get there on the day would mean a ridiculously early start, so will we now be able to claim hotel bill as part of our travel expenses from the host club rather than fund it ourselves as at Swindon? Yes we can now get overnigh...

TV income is likely higher and guaranteed. It’s one or the other sadly.

Good point. Would need to r...

On the FA website is just says that: 'The FA live broadcast fee for these fixtures is £37,500 per club.' Would be a great bonus if thats the case. I think that's for the four games chosen to be broadcast on BBC or BT rather than the red button. Nope 8 games are chosen for £37.5k to each team. So we...

Yeah it is.

I thought i saw on the agenda that there was an item about use of surplus. Does that mean the club was in profit last year, or that the supporters' group was?

DFCSG were in profit. Club accounts for 2019/2020 not due for another couple of months.

Yep really good AGM, very positive view on where we are heading and putting the right things in place with a longer ambition of full time, own ground & football league.

Obviously none of that is easy to achieve and we need to be financially stable before moving forward.

So obviously no fixtures announced but below is what is expected following the first round and current FA announcement. 8 games to be broadcast live on BBC/BT Sport & Digital Channels - Likely to get £32.5k each team. 8 games to be broadcast live on BBC Digital Channels only - Likely to get £12.5k e...

Anyone else notice the BBC rewrote our history when they introduced our game on their highlights programme? They said "following Darlington's EXPULSION from The Football League in 2012......." Yep listened to it and thought, well that's not true as we just got relegated from the football league in ...

Presume most know about the 50/50 draw being online. However for anyone who doesn't, below is the link to buy tickets and some info on the last draw from the game v Cambridge City. https://yourclub.darlingtonfc.co.uk/virtual-5050-draw Our last Virtual 50/50 Draw took place on Saturday 24th October a...

Can see a number of changes on Tuesday although I don't think we can completely change the team, Boston are one of the favourites for the league and will be a tough proposition. So many players need game time or likely to be back in - Sousa, Hatfield, Maguire, McMahon, Watson, Laing, Minter & Atkins...

Just watched the highlights on the official site. Is it just me or does anyone else think that Charmans "offside" goal was actually onside. Also. Rivers was clearly tripped in the box and we should have had a penalty. I know it's irrelevant now but shows that we could and in my opinion should have ...

Any home draw should guarantee the game is covered live on TV. Looking forward to AA being on TV at Harrogate. Not quite. Stockport at home for example hardly gets the pulse racing. Think even that would get us picked for the digital option though. Not the main 4 games but the other ones, which I b...

Fantastic result, makes the fundraising for the stay over well worth it. Think our goals will feature on BBC2 in just over 5 mins at HT in FCUM v Doncaster game. Just another thought, quite often the draw for the next round is help at the home of the club that caused the previous rounds biggest ups...

How, it isn't obvious!

What issues you got, sure plenty on here can probably help.

The iFollow system seems a bit silly as you register with the team you ‘follow’. Which is fine if your side is in the EFL as you’ll then be able to log in to your teams iFollow site to see both home and away fixtures. However, I signed up a few years back when abroad to watch Burton V Boro. If I tr...

Coverage available an hour before kick off.

If you can't find at after 2pm, start to panic.

I had the impression that Mark's fundraising had a 0% charge? I chucked a quid in for funding. I was reticent to buy Saturdays match but I'm sure I read the profits from viewing will be split between the teams. If so I'll buy in-anyone else see this? The club got everything that was raised, Go Fund...

Dugald McCarrison is now 50 years old, dear me time seems to have passed fast.

Him and Ellison were fantastic in that game v's Pools, we took them apart, it was nice of them all to sneak out and meet us on the ring road outside Feethams.

Shame he didn't have the career he looked like he would have.

Just watched the replay and doesn't look to be great for Nicky Hunt. Looked like a muscle or worse went. Edit: Just looked at official site. Another bloody hamstring. Not sure what is up with McMahon either. The match report says it was a precaution after a hamstring ‘tweak’. AA reckons he will be ...

Signing has now been announced.

Probably the right decision in hindsight. He was 7 months away from leaving for free with no compensation or sell-on clause. It would have been preferable for him to move in January after the run of games we have coming up but you can’t begrudge him for wanting to move now. Things never stay still ...
