Darlo Uncovered

Looking forward to this, but I don't see a big crowd. Too much other stuff on, as TKOA has pointed out. On a Saturday, i think it would've had a healthy crowd and a decent travelling contingent also. There'll be a bus load from Kidderminster at most. At least the weather is alright, which will help...

The comments from fans on here make interesting reading. Will Darrell Clarke be manager when we go there?. I seem to remember many moons ago we played 3-4 clubs on the trot and after each game they sacked their managers. Funny feeling Walsall may have been 1 of them https://www.expressandstar.com/s...

Are we still entertaining the notion that Blackwell Meadows isn't absolutely rubbish for anything more than our standard league crowd? A big away crowd is always a cracking atmosphere, especially when the home crowd aren't arsed and are easily drowned out. We're not capable of a big home crowd. Our...

According to my records this is the first time we have won 3 consecutive FA Cup ties away from from home in the same season. Lucrative away tie with 6,000 + crowd and TV will set us up with cash for next season and keep AA’s two year plan on track, regardless of the result. People are starting to g...

With John Woolnough gone I’ve heard the accounts are looking to be outsourced from Clive Owen who do the current pay role if this is true then it’s worrying as the DFCSG promised a tight hold of all finances as a fan owned club. It would be good to have an update on finances and where DFC are finan...

Stole money from fans pockets, he knew where boost the budget comes from and decided to screw us, I am really angry with this a###hole. My feelings exactly He didn't steal anything. He took what he was contractually obliged to. He must have met the criteria that we couldn't get rid for not fulfilli...

You can carry on asking fans to dig deep each season, or for a more sustainable future, the club need to boost its commercial income Whilst I agree that we need to boost our commercial income, how is that more sustainable than "asking fans to dig deep"? Once you get extra sponsorship, is it guarant...

Well said Darlopartisan and excellent effort in raising funds and so quickly.

Two extremes of football in one post.

I hesitate to call the thieves fans or even followers. They are scum.

Re the fund raising...a story for next week's Non League Paper showing fans in good light?

how does a transfer window work in terms of 'restraint of trade'. Surely this is restrictive? You can complete a transfer at any time. You can only register players in the window. So no restraint of trade arises. For example. Man U could sign Harry Kane today, pay his new wages etc. He would be a M...

Unless you can introduce individual player wage caps, (which is illegal), then you are left in the stupid financial situation where clubs at all levels are paying far more than is viable competing for the holy grail of promotion. The money clubs are paying in wages is ridiculous across football in ...

When Spin is lecturing us on footy finances (and how to do it properly and sustainably) at this level, he is clearly implying that clubs like Spendy show the way. Of course the truth is that the main sponsor of Spendy is Great Annual Savings and in fact several of the board members/officials of Spe...

Looking at their squad they are clearly yet another club who are bankrolled to fuck. Also, it appears they are getting a shiny new ground too. I hope we utterly smash them. Well hush my mouth it appears that they are not bankrolled. Yes, they are the 2nd known club in the NLN (as well as us) to liv...

It's really sad that the signing of a Darlington lad should have turned into this awful saga. Whatever the rights and wrongs, thank God it has finally been brought to an end. We should not be offering 2 year contracts to anybody, ok Galbraith and Thommo are exceptions but this has been worse than t...

I think Potters Bar v Barnet... Underdog at home swings it over Notts County game plus I am sure that I’ve read the BBC getting some stick over northern bias in choice of games in the earlier rounds. Come on Tamworth tonight... John Motson before making the draw named 4 teams he was looking for.......

Tamworth is a pig of a draw

Good one

Merged a couple of topics that got opened together on this one. Also: s***. Not the worst draw in terms of opposition but another long trip to a "Northern" half club. Hereford are going great now they have Russell Slade in as manager. Have to hope if its them that they want to concentrate on the Le...

Not even going to give the Mail a click. Trash newspaper. I’m unsurprised, given their dubious relationship with the truth in multiple other areas.

I... Exeter were hardly a big club when their game against Warrington was televised. Lowest placed club at home will trump ‘biggest’ club versus someone else usually. ... AFC Wimbledon at home would be a sure fire bet for a televised game for us in first round proper... Exeter are remembered for ho...

He didn’t last long wonder what’s happened. .. It's a huge commitment in terms of time for someone on top of their day job. Perhaps too much for a volunteer to do alone. Him resigning is not necessarily an indication of anything having gone on. He needs to put his paid work ahead of his voluntary c...

Ah, our resident legal eagle. Be careful what you're saying Spen!

What's wrong with expressing my view that I hope there is an Investigation into various people?

What should I be careful about?

Steve Dale is the asset stripping scumbag who has made the headlines, but it was the man before him, the disgusting, lying Stewart Day, our version of George Reynolds/Michael Knighton if you will. He was the egotistical, delusional lying conman who caused this before selling to Dale for a pound to ...

No it means the FIFA does not permit the deal to happen outside of the transfer window

Or could he not be signed on dual registration like Alex Storey is?

'Dual registration' only applies to non-contracted players.

Thanks for that. I hadn't realised that.

Can loan deals not happen outside this window? I thought it was permanent transfers that couldn't happen outside the window

As AA pointed out in his interview, He said the lad said it's way harder than playing in the Northern League but he did well Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk It's a huge step up. It's like going straight from L2 to Premiership. Any player will need time to adjust before you see him at his best

.... Interesting article about Micah Richards on the BBC today actually about how he has spent so long trying to get fit, and whilst Villa fans think he was sat there just happy to rake in money and not play that was far from the full picture. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49845993 is that a...

People saying they prefer Chase as we will have a better chance need a bit of a rethink. OK they are mid table at the moment, but have games in hand that will have them hit the play off spots if they win them. In The Scholars Ground they have a tight quite intimidating ground and in the cup have ha...

Anybody seen Darlo play twice in two days? I remember two away games in two days at the end of the 85-86 season. Derby and Brentford I think, both defeats?
