Darlo Uncovered

Great Interview and he comes across really well. On the basis of those articles, it seems he is destined to go higher One thing surprised me. He said he would never sign a player without meeting them first. I never realised other managers did sign players that had not met! Seems to be a pre requisi...

Alferton is a big game for both sides. Either could go into a playoff position. Aren't Alfreton 7 points off a play off place? :?: Spen back after Bannergate and Barriergate :oops: Wonder if he’s going to mock the Hillsborough disaster again.... Again? I never mentioned it in first place....but fee...

It is going reasonably well. We get a steady stream of people calling into Quaker retail and we have raised in excess of £100. I also have been selling some of the older programmes on facebook and have raised about £90 on there also. We have Darlo home and away programmes going back to the late 50'...

Game should never been postponed, it was very mild by the time kickoff should have taken place. The local ref dropped a bit of a clanger. The referee needs a new crystal ball? Better the game called off early, than leaving it late, Solihull travelling and Darlington being left to pay for their trav...

Home game against South Shields if they win their replay or Harrogate Town would be pretty decent or an away game at one of the Yorkshire sides would be more than decent. Is the next round of the FA Trophy still regionalised? In previous years, the competition was national from 2nd round onwards

Games go to replay unless clubs otherwise agree in advance

Can’t remember the reason why the 3rd round game was played in December that season instead of the usual date the first weekend in January. Can't remember either, but it is only 2nd time I have seen a club game with 3 lots of fans segregated. They eventually moved a lot of Cardiff fans into the Mai...

Just seen a stat about Andrew Johnson, who had a stint with us under MG . He's scored 249 goals in 296 appearances for Bishop. That's some record, shame it never worked out at a higher level. I remember one game in particular in which Gray was screaming at him in rage at his failure to track back a...

I saw the same, and wondered whether he'd maybe loaned the club some money to get wages paid?

I think in previous articles it was said he had done this to ensure players were paid last season

It seems a bit absurd to me. Why do they need it to be a fancy all seater anyway? Apparently they have enough funds for the 4,000 main stand but then funding stalls after that... and they need millions more!? It seems a fairly simple choice to me. Build something cheaper on the rest of it!? Cheap t...

It does feel like a big improvement on last season, but saying that, if we do finish bottom half then it probably isn't. 100k extra added to the bank from a cup run suggests even if we finish midtable it's a massive step forward. Agree with most comments, it's disappointing currently and it was sli...

The London Evening Standard has a story tonight that may interest some. Seems they allegedly have hit financial problems re their new ground & some fansare calling for them to sell ownership/ stake in club to private investors https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/fans-fear-for-future-of-afc-wim...

This tie will be a real contrast in styles, that's for sure. Tim Flowers makes no secret of the fact that he likes to bang the ball into the box as quickly as possible and favours big, bullying, physical players. He said that he soon came to appreciate that fancy technical football gets short shrif...

...Obviously not, but there is a difference between a product for general mass consumer use and one for specialised commercial customers. I wouldn't have a specialist check my home insurance, however if I was a layman running an amateur football club which needed insurance of which I was uninformed...

Dear Spenn’i chat bollocks 24/7’ , you are a scummy dirty rat , I wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire . I hope your cock gets bitten off by an angry beaver & I hope you get hit by a big truck at high speeds. Its sad that you get so wound up by someone who doesn't share all your views. Its not ...

Yep, partly the cost of personal liability & also whether an individual player should have their own cover. Do I now need my own insurance for a kick about on Sunday in the park? There seems to be some confusion about the purpose of insurance If you make a reckless tackle on someone and they suffer...

Yeh...but the other slight issue / aspect of this Ossett used the insurance provider and cover recommended by the league and the FA. Accountability still sits with them but it definitely isn't that simple. More fool the club for not checking the policy covered their needs. What we dont know is what...

This is not a new story. An employer has always been liable for the acts of his employees in the course of his work. That is a very long established principle. A prudent employee ensures he has sufficient public liability insurance to cover this. It was established in 1996 in case of McCord v Swanse...

My personal take is that we should all be up in arms and trying to help rid the club of the morons once and for all. How is this possible though? They only turn up for the big games, and there's not many of those. Also the flares themselves will be easily concealed. A heavy police presence and big ...

Salaries are a recurring expense no matter which way you look at it. Basic accounting principles tell you it is. Salaries are paid weekly/ monthly etc each month, They are not a one off occurrence. What you seem to be saying is to tell players the club is going to a hybrid model, but for one year o...

What you seem to be saying is to tell players the club is going to a hybrid model, but for one year only. Next year we don't have a cup windfall so we won't keep you on as a full time player. Get back to work Spen, you don't know what you're on about. This idea was mooted long before our cup run, s...

They are not paying recurring costs if you have 1 year contracts. Surely you can see a difference between a windfall and taking on long term debt. Like I know that you know the difference between them - they are chalk and cheese but you have said it's the same approach for some weird reason. Then y...

What bothered me was the fact that the police seem to be stationed outside at FT. They clearly were not instructed / arsed enough to go and assist the stewards in front of the Tin Shed. If the police are stationed inside the ground, then the club has to pay for them. That is why clubs use stewards,...

I've heard it mentioned by a few people in the know, that we are looking to adopt the hybrid model of football next season. With a fair percentage of the 500 club memberships coming to an end, this will help raise a significant of amount of extra revenue & this combined with the cup windfall , will...

So could they have played today or not? Did they have a choice in the matter? Mate watching BT says they opted to go to Mexico ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If club didn't release players or players didn't go, then their country can get FIFA to ban them from playing for their club. It's rare...
