Darlo Uncovered

I'm not getting into this again.

Eh Scott? Not the same thing at all. I was simply putting a rumour to bed and stating a fact. I have no idea who the club use now but just like any decision, it would have been a group one, not down to an individual.

Absolute bollocks.

Ian was very generous. He didnt charge is at all! We got 30% commission from total takings on his vans, not from profit. He charged us £8 a head for two course meals and practically did the players food for nothing. On top of that, he arranged the transport to pick the arena covers up, helped pick u...

I was randomly blocked on twitter from the official_darlo account a couple of weeks ago. I contacted Laura as I wasn't best pleased and she looked into it for me. She confirmed I was blocked, got me unblocked but she doesnt know who did it and why. I just found it odd as I don't personally know the ...

Some steep learning curves for the old board I guess, hoepfully we have learnt these lessons and can budget/plan accurately now. Steep learning curves indeed. I'm just grateful to Denis for ensuring that our feelings and frustrations were minuted every time we continuously didn't get the informatio...

Think this was the talk/presentation:

Ask the question and use my reply as an example. I would see the position as an account manager/new business role myself therefore you don't generally earn commission on current annual spend, not if it's money coming in anyway which this is. For new business, you could have a different commission st...

I was fully for a commission only position, works extremely well for clubs like ours. I think what Divas is saying though is that you can't earn commission on everything and there has to be a starting point. I work in a sales role and it's all target driven. My target this month might be set at say ...

That's what I understand

Bright pink, a hospice is sponsoring it.

Officially, the club has charged its name. When I was a director, the company was called Darlington FC 1883 then in February 2013, it changed to Darlington 1883. The CIC started out as 'enabling sport' (no idea why) then the name changed again to 1883 CIC in February 2013 then it changed its name ag...

I saw this new logo a few moths ago (minus the 12th man thing) however, I also saw a new club logo (replacing the current Quakers one) and it was similar to this CIC one as the idea was that they would work in partnership with each other. Personally, I could get why it's thought the club/CIC would n...

Still mine ! Was meant to be taken off this site yonks ago but far too many things been going on it hasn't been a priority. Sure Micky will sort it,

Have around 10 teams signed up and Gary brown, tait, Harrison and Thompson are entering as a team too.

Why do we charge 5% commission when selling tickets to away games anyway? What cost are we covering with this, seeing as we have volunteers selling them from the club shop that would be open anyway. Would be interesting to get an answer on this, especially if the shop is open anyway. Obviously I'm ...

Such a shame for the older folk who might not be able to get up and get a ticket. Seems madness for something that would cost as little as 5% commission. Only people that will lose out are them though.

I won a Star Radio award at the back end of last year and I've donated it to the club. As a result, Verony has arranged 150 clips which showcase the club and our sponsors too which is great.

I'd like to think the benchmark was £40k. Ideally, I would be nice to see targets kick in at £40k and in increments of maybe £5k after that. I work to targets but they have to be realistic and £40k is probably what we would get in renewed income so anything over that is a bonus and should be targeted.

Join my job page Facebook.com/DarlingonAreaJobs and inbox me and I may be able to give a few pointers.

Is the £100 that i gave last year at the dolphin centre mean i'm a member of the cic. If not where did that money go too. Everyone that invested money at the dolly was eventually enrolled into the CIC, or should have been Not necessarily but someone from the club should have been in contact to ask ...

Bedlington have tweeted us to say Chairman said game looks to be on. They also emailed me this today. Who doesn't love a bit of karaoke! To all Darlington fans from Bedlington. Our clubhouse will be open from 11 am to cater for all your needs and we have arranged with,for the early arrivals amongst ...

With some of the fixtures changing days, some of the sponsors changed.

No programme was originally produced, content was rolled over. A single page sheet isn't enough. New notes, sponsor info, adverts which sponsors have paid for etc hence the 4 page inserts.

I understand you will be contacted this week.

Thanks SLJ - To be fair, it's not even my responsibility anymore to sort anything out but I can't help myself. There was another lady there last night helping out so I'm sure she will take over this responsibility.

I get a programme every game and can comfortably accept the issue of no programme even if a little dissapointed. However after reading on Twitter that the sponsor of the programme who paid money to be that sponsor wasn't exactly happy no programme available, makes me view this from a business decis...

Of course, will arrange that!

Speaking from previous experience, scrolling down long lists and through pages is a bit of a nightmare.
