Darlo Uncovered

I spoke to Adam the other night for the website piece.
The w's in his name are pronounced as V's (as somebody suggested above)

Not sure whether they would because it's personal information. Good thought though, I'll drop them a line.
I thought I'd go on the messageboard on the offchance that some fans might have details -- for example, Rob has sent me Mark Forster's. Saved me a lot of time.

Smudger's curly perm was legendary.

that's why I'm hoping other people will look around for me with their contacts. I've already spent time I don't have, going down dead ends. Rob has already come up trumps for Mark Forster (thanks, Rob) Salisbury don't even exist as a club at the moment.

I've already been down that route, which is why I've come on here.

Dear all; Has anyone got contact details for Carl Airey and Mark Forster from the 84-85 team, please? It was thought that Phil Airey of Ashington is related to Carl in some way, but he isn't, I've checked. If anyone does, then please mail me on raysimpson1uk@yahoo.co.uk I'd like to include their sto...

Alan sent me a copy of that pic to put in Farewell to Feethams

If anyone has any memories of him, just mail them to me on raysimpson1uk@yahoo.co.uk and I'll try and include them in a tribute for the next programme. There's a tribute to Ken Furphy in tomorrow's prog.

Sad to hear that Alan Sproates, a member of the 1966 promotion winning team, died today at the age of 70.

just got this from the Salford programme ed. To all Darlington fans, I am very sorry that the programmes sold out before the game and many people, both Darlo and Salford fans couldn't get one, including myself! Unfortunately due to printing deadlines, the original estimated crowd and our recent sale...

In the Farewell to Feethams book, Ken revealed that he played the first three months of his Darlo career at full back, and then moved to half back. He was rejected by the club at his first trial, the club thought he didn't have enough stamina until Ken pointed out that he'd finished second once in t...

Tim -- please can you send me photos on E mail.
thanks

DarloIan -- I've pm'd you.

Dear all: I thought I'd try to jog some memories of random games! What can you remember about the last week of the Conference 1989-90 season? Did you go to Kidderminster on the night Darlo lost 3-2? Did you think that we were going to hold on to a 2-2 draw? How did you feel when Kiddie scored in the...

Please can this be stickied? Dear all; As you may know from the recent fans forum, I am starting work on another Darlington book about promotion winners, chiefly the 1966, 1985, 1990, 1991 and 2013 successes. Hopefully, the book will be published in the autumn of 2015. There will also be another pro...

yes, there will probably be more closer to Xmas. I'm hoping to persuade Paul Arnison -- who has told me that he'll be back in the UK for Christmas -- to pop along to a game and sign some. It's Warrington away on the 21st December, but I'm sure we'll be able to sort something out. Maybe the Boxing Da...

Book signing this Saturday, November 9th, at the club shop between 10 and 11. The ideal Christmas present!

just to confirm, book signing Wednesday before the Buxton game and at half time.

There will be another book signing next Wednesday, before the game and at half time against Buxton in the possible Trophy replay, or Padiham in the league.

Sales on Saturday totalled 60 at the shop and at the match, bringing sales so far to approx. the 300 mark.

thanks for the kind words.
A book signing has been arranged for this Saturday morning at the club shop, between 11 and 12.

The book should be on sale in the club shop as from today (Glen is sorting that out for me) and also at home games. We should also have details on how to order by post in the near future, Dave Mills is going to work something out. Thanks to everyone who attended last night, an amazing evening, we ho...

we'll post details when we can. Hopefully the books will arrive tomorrow or Wednesday and we'll be able to work out how much postage and packing is.

Checked tonight, the print run is almost complete.
Tickets not required for the launch on October 3rd, just roll up at the Dolphin Centre for 7.30. Chris Senior is really looking forward to it, I spoke to him at the weekend. Jamie Chandler also coming along.
Come along and shake their hands.

It depends on how many are sold, but if all were sold, then the club would make around £6k

I'll probably interview each special guest after I've introduced them, and maybe read a selection from the book.

I'll post details of how to obtain copies by post when I can

The set up is pretty basic, I'll introduce the special guests one by one into the room and at some point we plan to play the youTube 30 second piece of the goal at Wembley. I'm also trying to get my hands on some audio commentary. After that, people will have the opportunity to shake hands, take pho...

We've ordered a 1000 print run.

When the books are delivered, I'll work out how much p and p will be, and let everybody know.
