Darlo Uncovered

I know people sponsor the players but every so often (once per month) could the club raffle off a players shirt (a different players shirt each month). I know the players wore the orange shirt once this season. Could they be raffled off (£2 per ticket) between now and the beginning of next season? ...

I wouldn't describe Hornchurch as a 'tidy side'. I thought the defending by both teams was calamitous at times. I think if Alun Armstrong watched that video he would be quite encouraged.

Good to see the players taking advantage of the community testing. A very responsible approach and hopefully encourages anyone else who is out there in the community regularly to do the same https://darlingtonfc.co.uk/news/darlington-fc-supports-community-testing-scheme?fbclid=IwAR1f5bO9Q77R9gMmMen...

The National League are now saying that an "independent panel", not a "sub-committee", will be appointed to hear each case. So that is already a climb-down from their initial correspondence to clubs within the last 24/48 hours. The cases will be not be heard until the results of the resolution are ...

It is a great draw for us, but I'm somewhat doubtful it will happen. The league only seems to be going one way. This is an F A competition though,not really a lot to do withe the league.Steps 3 and below were allowed to carry on in the F A cup when their leagues were curtailed so I personally think...

Chester have voted to end the season in the absence of grant funding. Excellent statement IMO.

Furloughing is indeed about protecting jobs. I was trying to address the moral issue of furloughing staff after turning down a loan. But, if we take the loan, without the wherewithal to repay it, we would be trading illegally. :roll: Trading: "the action or activity of buying and selling goods and ...

Yeh of all the reactions that wasn't the one I expected. They will just be put on furlough, they are just as contracted as they ever were. All we have done is voted to finish the season a few months early. Everything else is as it was. Back in the summer, hopefully! Can you morally furlough staff w...

Its a shame but it's been on the cards. The squad will be broken up but on the pitch we weren't great. I presume Nicky Hunt will retire and a few others will go. I think you might be jumping the gun somewhat by assuming DFC's voting declaration will be the eventual outcome. Have you actually looked...

It would pretty much spell the end of the league if the board threatened financial sanctions on clubs that feared for their future if they are coerced into taking on loans that threatened their financial future. It's pretty much certain that if the only offer on the table is for clubs to take on de...

Just to add weight to the posts by DBTS and BGA, last year's open shirt vote would have been promoted by DFC's official Twitter feed, which currently has 36.5k followers! Clearly a large proportion of those can only have a passing interest in DFC (at best). However, it would only take a small propor...

Weymouth v Darlo. Live stream with Terras Online £10.00 The site says it comes with “Premium Content” https://theterras.online/533 A tenner :shock: Robbing bastards! I'll stick with DarloFansRadio this weekend. Let's not forget that income from live streaming is considered to be match income of whi...

Was out at 7am this morning and no chance the game is in any danger.

No frost at all.

I think Darlo(serial weather troll)Pete's "heavy frost" disappeared with his "lots of lying water" from a few days ago.

Man of the Match during the game is chosen by the match sponsor. However, if you want to vote for your Man of the Match, there is a post-match poll on YourClub, which is open to everyone registered on YourClub (not just DFCSG members). The result is announced on Twitter and MM got the vote on Saturd...

Excellent read. I would commend it to all 'owners'. So there you have it, Spen, in black and white: "thousands of pounds as a ‘signing on’ fee, plus a very good weekly wage" to play for the Pride of County Durham.

For as long as there is a need for gatherings to socially distance, I very much doubt that BM could operate at a capacity that would be economically viable - hence DJ's comments.

I'm surprised this game is free to watch on youtube. I'm sure Darlo fans would have been happy to give Guiseley a fiver to watch the game.

The link I followed makes it clear that Guiseley are inviting donations to help towards the match costs.

There were two 'Man of the Match' awards (same winner). Virtual Match Sponsors, Paul and Jen Hodgson, voted for Luke on Saturday. Then there was a 'Man of the Match' poll on YourClub, which closed yesterday afternoon that also placed Luke first. Presumably Luke received a bottle of something courtes...

I guess if Saltmer was to trip over the cat and twist his ankle on Saturday morning before an important FA Cup-tie then Armstrong could have looked very silly not have anticipated that situation.

I'm sure if there is a way there will defo be the will especially as latest evidence indicates virus lives on plastic notes up to 28 days.

On the plus side, saw Bury Town won again

You've lost me, jjljks. Why is that good?

Must be because Bury St. Edmunds (home of Bury Town FC) is such a nice part of the world.

In my opinion, an unnecessarily devisive headline by the Echo: "Darlington FC hit out at pubs showing on line coverage of matches". DJ made a perfectly reasonable point in a considered manner.

Got mine too. Just need to sort out my 50/50 now.

Plus, I would imagine that the league might not be overly keen on us just chopping and changing between grounds after giving us dispensation for one. normally you are only allowed to move grounds mid-season if its a move to a new stadium like BM the first time. id expect as approval has been given ...

I like to think we will be okay, we apparently have a very small PAYE Bill once you take the players out of the scenario, most of them have jobs. As a fan funded club I’d like to think the board of the DFCSG will put up a plan to get us through the season. Presumably Step 1 of the plan is to obtain...

So what will be the implication for the NL? Will Macclesfield be allowed to start there league campaign or will they just be scrubbed from the fixtures? Pete, the judge has is issued a winding-up order. Once the judge has issued this, the director's powers cease. The court will appoint an official ...

Apparently 200 tickets available for away supporters being sold in Quaker retail tomorrow. Hope there are "on line" sales? It's important to read the small print, from the official website "Lynn from Quaker Retail will be selling the tickets in My Sportswear in Morton Park on Wednesday from 9am onw...

Undoubtedly Glen Naylor
