Darlo Uncovered

This thread topic has caused me to have the worst opinion possible of Darlo fans. No scruples, no brains to question things, no intelligence period, really. The fact that Charlie is a moderator (and seemingly respected) despite being one of the most intelligently-challenged people I've ever come acr...

I'm guessing, AKITJ, that since you're willing to sit here discussing an alleged crime with all of us, without taking your concerns to the proper authorities, that you'd be no better. To use your analogy (although I'd really rather not, it's pathetic), you believe you're aware of someone abusing so...

The net effect of all this is that generally Darlo fans are either:

a) naive

b) stupid

c) turn a blind-eye to mispropriety

d) all of the above.

If someone told you they knew of someone committing child abuse to your children would you just say "Well, they're making the accusation, let them deal with it"? I wouldn't take their word for it and alert the police because "someone told me" especially if that person was particularly adament that ...

This isn't about disagreeing with the choice of items in the club shop. This is way more serious than that, hence my disappointment at people's willingness to accept the CIC's/club's lightweight response to the concerns. Well why don't you contact them and push for a more detailed response? Why me?...

AKJ what is your problem, this quote you keep using "You'll get the club you deserve" seems born out of a man who is not a real fan who is trying his best to undermine the actions and commitments of well meaning and I know because I have met most of them genuine fans trying to push this new venture...

a) you know I haven't contacted the CIC/club Well - in the nicest way possible - either do it, or shut up. This is going round in circles, helping nobody, and you aren't going to get answers to your accusations on here. Indeed, on here you mostly find people who are not bothered about suggestions o...

AKITJ, when you sent your communication to the CIC / Football club board, did you request a full explanation to your questions and if so maybe you could publish them on the forum so everyone can use that information to understand the plans going forward? And the point of this post is? To see if the...

No they're not, shawry, no they're not.

This isnt a promotion, the cost of the cic membership is the same as it will cost anyone else to buy. Also when I asked the club why cic membership was included the back end of june I was told to ask the cic. Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2 The membership was part of the price paid for your ...

I am more accepting of what I'm told when the rationale is sensible/logical.

Nice try, Maurice, but I do not know any person who is involved with the running of the CIC or the Club. Do you find it difficult to believe that someone can simply have an objection to malpractice, whoever it affects? There you go, I've come on here and responded to your aspersion. It wasn't diffi...

Hope you feel confident to back that up? It was Dave Mills who sat on the board as the representative of the CIC right? So you are now outright saying he abused his position. That's quite a statement to make - cant imagine he will be too happy about it. Is it not normal course of business that a co...

Thanks for putting this up, markodarlo. There are a lot of words in those responses and a lot of repetition but without actually saying anything. Their comments on the £20 are completely as expected. In otherwords, the CIC has abused its position. I can see why some people's thoughts on the CIC's re...

mikkyx - I do not need to contact them directly to let them know my concerns. You've already confirmed that they are aware of them, so your and loiq36789's persistant attempts at avoiding the issue by suggesting it's my failure by not contacting them is just that - avoiding the issue. They are awar...

Jazz's reasoning that it wouldn't be professional made me laugh. They're not professional - they're a collective of fans that have bumbled along for the last 15 months. I wasn't insinuating they were professionals - I was making the point that we are trying to present ourselves as a club that condu...

Spyman's posts sum it perfectly. Jazz's reasoning that it wouldn't be professional made me laugh. They're not professional - they're a collective of fans that have bumbled along for the last 15 months. The continued avoidance of the issue says lots. We already know what they'll come out with anyway ...

<sigh>

I've countered everything you've said above many times already.

If you don't think there is a strong suggestion of underhand activities and a lack of transparency then you're a cretin. End of.

Yeh identical. Seeing as though both the CIC and DFC have the same CEO. What has the CEO got to do with it? The CEO does the bidding of the shareholders. Do you think if Mike Ashley was not CEO of Newcastle United (which you're implying he is), he wouldn't get what he wanted done? To be fair, in my...

This would be like Mike Ashley increasing the season ticket cost by £20 (which he transfers to Sports Direct) and telling Newcastle fans they can have free delivery on any purchases they make from sportsdirect.com.

It would rightly be regarded as underhand.

it would take a special person not to realise that, surely? When you get a promotion from any other organisation say a free railcard from a bank, surely you take it for granted that they are then going to use that money to pay for the railcard? Surely? s***, he's back. Only a special person would s...

Who are people paying the season ticket money to? If it's Darlington 1883 there is definitely something dodgy going on. Why is it? Where else would you expect season ticket money to go? From the outset all but £20 goes directly to the club. How is it worded, I can't even remember. Does a CIC renewa...
