Darlo Uncovered

All I can recall of that day now is the grey skies... Maybe it was a sign of things to come? I remember telling myself not to look back as I walked out after the match, so what did I go and do? Big mistake. I also remember a few people saying on the old rivals board claiming that the Arena would be ...

He's looking a bit rough these days, like his stadium.

Awful news, genuinely good bloke he had a stroke quite some time ago now if I recall rightly.

RIP thoughts with his family and friends.

Hope we can spoil their farewell to Bootham Crescent party & nick the points. Would be a great place for Thommo to get that elusive 100th goal, but perhaps he is saving that for Spenny. Either will do for me🙌 It's highly unlikely Saturday's match will be the last at BC, I understand York City Knigh...

We played Villa away in the FA Cup after being drawn back in as the "lucky losers" in the second round following Man Utd's withdrawl to take part in the World Club Championship's in Brazil. A certain Gareth Southgate played that day along with Paul Merson, Dion Dublin and David James. I don't rememb...

Confirmed it won't be at their new ground. They'll move sometime in the new year after test events have taken place. If you saw York v Altrincham on the FA Cup this afternoon, most of the away end was sectioned off and only 300 places for the away end. Wonder if parts of it have been condemned like...

1998/99 season at home to Rotherham two lads were being escorted out of the Tin Shed by two stewards followed by a third carrying a till, to this day I don't know what went on there! 1999/00 season Worthington Cup first round first leg tie at home to Bolton Mr Q fell over while running off the pitch...

For memorable Darlo vs Bury moments, how could I forget 2006 and our 3-2 win which went a long way to securing our league status and who can forget that Chris Brass OG. :-) This is usually the first thing I think of whenever discussing Bury! Even now 13 years later I'm not sure how he managed to do...

Up to his old tricks of turning up on doorsteps. To intimidate a woman, no less. Is it worse to intimidate a woman? If not, then there is no point in highlighting that it was a woman. But yeah, what a horrible man. 83 years old as well! Why's he not retired? Cause he's got nothing to retire to, wor...

Could be sang on Wednesday at the game in support of bury Can't see the point, I don't think the EFL will be watching or listening to what is being said at Darlo. It was the F.A. who fucked us over anyhow. Why support Bury, a team that massively overspent to gain promotion. It would be a bit like u...

Wasn't there a type of 'site of community importance' status put on some footba grounds which could stop this? If I recall rightly Kettering Town Supporters Trust attempted to gain ACV status for Rockingham Road but it was rejected as it was derelict and property developers had already made substan...

If we do end back at the Arena it would be great if we could put safe standing behind both goals, not sure how much it would cost but could appeal to those who like to stand particularly the tin shed fans. Anyone know of this has been looked at? Has anyone asked Mowden? It is their stadium after al...

But I would never rule out a return to the Arena. DMP are in financial trouble and I could see us returning as tenants or if DMP go bust, I could see us returning as owners sometime in the future. Out of interest, if that scenario was to play out (which I hope it doesn't) where would the funds come...

The lads just need time to gel.

That's what they said about Colin Todd's 2009/10 team.... And Steve Staunton's.

I'd sooner go back to Bish.

That cave needs to be left where it belongs, in the past.

I seem to remember several years ago when Spennymoor where signing several Darlington players, posters on here were calling them Darlo Reserves. Will you now be called Blyth reserves. :?: Personally, I disagreed with addressing you as such. To me and indeed some others you were and still are Evenwo...

A very, very cute tactic by the club to set this off BEFORE the new manager is installed.

I very much look forward to the reaction of many people when Big Mart inevitably makes his triumphant return.

PR spin, nothing more and nothing less.

Next.

Feethams was simply patched up and with health and safety requirements becoming stricter at some point eventually it would have needed replacing. I tend to disagree, had we stayed there then the West Stand would have likely have been closed down/demolished by now but the Polam Lane End and Tin Shed...

Has to be the Arena, as Feethams was a dump when we left it, although the Arena is probably a dump by now.

It looking a bit sad these days, I saw a comment on Sunderland’s forum saying it looks abandoned from the outside!

Discuss.

I can't be the only one who becomes desperately sad every time I see Feethams in video?

You're not, although it's more bitterness for me these days.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it, time and time again.

That's all I'm saying.

There is a lot of anger among the Hereford fans directed towards the board and the new management team. On Tuesday some of their fans were singing songs in support of the former manager and there were unsavoury scenes at the end with allegations that a fan threw punches towards one of their players...

Ridiculous title.

Regardless of what happened back in 2012 I wouldn't want them to fold.

They may have won the match that day but lost out as I recall the attendance on the day was the second smallest we'd had after Penrith when we were in the Northern League.

Quakerz (left) and Darlo_Pete (right) in happier times.

A delighted Quakerz celebrates winning the roll of honour.

The flip side is maybe he has permission from ourselves/Stalybridge to do this?

I would be careful not to jump to conclusions here with out knowing the terms of the loan agreement between the two clubs and an apparent lack of knowledge regarding FA rules on this matter? (Which rule is he breaching?)

Like a few others, I believe the current team and the manager are not good enough.

It's over them to prove us wrong.
