Darlo Uncovered

Don't think they york were that much better Darlington today, I think york will not be promoted because I saw nothing special about them, bang average and will maybe make top 8. They have had a good start,I just can't see them as champions. You are virtually the only person I have heard this season...

Difficult to know what to make of this really. Had an absolute mare against Kings Lynn, but then everyone has a bad game, and as the article states, AA did refer to him personally in the post match interview and he was dropped for Blyth for Galbraith to return despite Tez not being 100% fit for Bly...

5000 tickets! Where is that information? Your grammar is slipping too.

On the club website. Only tickets available in West Stand in any numbers

My grammar is dead. She died last century

At the end of the day the result was the only thing that mattered & not the performance. Can see why you say that, but not sure its as clear cut. Yes points are important to ensure survival/ help promotion campaign / keep momentum etc BUT picking up points with poor performances will not encourage ...

FA rules prevent drinking whilst watching FA Cup games. If it hadn't been FA Cup, then yes you can drink whilst watching game at Dunston [/quote] No idea if that is a rule but I was at the Northallerton v Stockton cup game few weeks back and people were drinking watching the game. [/quote] You are ...

I was absolutely delighted with last night's victory however my one gripe is the amount of short corners we are taking and 50 per cent of the time screwing them up and wasting our advantage by losing possession …... Its not just Darlington who do that. Too many sides take short corners and fail to ...

When is the draw for our entry on the 21st September, anyone?

Monday lunchtime

Unable to make the long trip to follow Daro this weekend, I thought I might look at Dunston UTS v Sunderland RCA in the FA Cup, as its close by. I have a feeling one of our recent full backs moved on to there any other links to Darlo? And anyone been to the ground and know if its possible to have a...

THeres good and bad points of fan ownership im sure and the likes of bury prove its advantages, but one thing thats not been mentioned on here is the clubs that were rescued by fans after bad ownership who later accepted outside investment that they deemed suitable. Portsmouth and york are good exa...

I understand he is appearing before the magistrates court today for alleged harassment of a planning official https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/17780282.ex-darlington-chairman-george-reynolds-accused-harassment/ Is there anyone on this forum who doesn't wish the prosecution all the luck in the ...

An excellent read. Thanks for the link

I have to say that I think people are being over harsh. Kings Lynn will be one of the best sides in this Division. For the 1st 45 mins Darlington out battled a more skilful Kings Lynn and create more real chances. Darlington were getting in the face of Kings Lynn with some aggressive & physical play...

Nice ground & nice bar under MainStand.

Shame most Darlington fans can't use it because of the segregation in place today.
Still the bar serves a nice pint & the locals are friendly.

Never realized until I was in ground it was segregated.

Right, I'll "engage". What kind of "investor" do you want? One who will actually want to make money from their investment, which is what an investor is, or a sugar daddy who lumps money at the club with no hope of any financial return? Because A) would be a crap businessman, and B) would be a figme...

If a long term fan won the Euromillions I may be persuaded to consider letting 50% go, but never to another Reynolds / Singh / Houghton etc.

If you let it go, its gone forever.

You sell to a benevolent lottery winner .... but you then can't control what he or she does later with that share.

It's just my opinion supported for 35 years. I See a generation of young kids never going to a darlo match. If someone was out there willing to invest it should be seriously looked at. You see that in every town and city up and down the country irrespective of whether there is a rich owner investin...

Dale has just been on sky news saying he wants the football league to reinstate the club what a pig headed egoist this man is also told all the volunteers he wanted them out of the ground and not to damage the stadium yesterday afternoon after the deal fell through to save the club and they had spe...

…..Ok, some good points there Spen, I obviously did not think everything through thoroughly. Something obviously needs to be done to stop this s*** happening over and over. There has to be ways to can help these businesses, and there has to be some way to curb a member club from spending money they...

Getting the thread back in track its a bit of a farce the hereford game against gateshead been called off due to international duty. Are half of there team made up of internationals, doubt it

Only need 3 players called up to be entitled to have match postponed

It should be in the rules where the EFL could temporarily step in and take charge of a clubs affairs as a short term option. That would be an illegal act by the EFL or the FA. They can no more take control of someone else's business than I can come into your house and order you how to run it. Its n...

So the efl dont have the power to stop bad owners? If bad owners fail there fit and proper test then theres far less chance they will take over a club, still ways round this such as the gateshead situation where a figure head came im but that sure werent the situation at bury The only power the EFL...

Bury’s long term future will be defined by ownership of Gigg Lane. If they keep hold of it, or lease it on reasonable terms, they’ll end up challenging in the Vanarama National. Without a decent ground, they’ll be no better off than us. If Bury or a phoenix club can't retain Gigg Lane, there are a ...

Bury now expelled from efl. In my 25 year watching football this is the 1st time i can recall this happening Maidstone in 1992/3 season were last expelled. They never played 1st fixture. Aldershot were liquidated at end of 1991/2 season & therefore technically not expelled. Just before i started wa...

Surely a massive failure of due diligence here. The club are heading for trouble with Cleeve in charge.
....

It's the buyer who does due diligence.

If Bury go under it won't be for the lack of effort. They've managed to get a huge amount of national TV coverage, including live BBC broadcasts today and Government ministers getting involved in a way that few other clubs plunged into the mire have managed. There's huge pressure to pull it back fr...
