Darlo Uncovered

I doubt if the relationship between us & the rugby club could get much worse. I do feel that without the footie club supporting them financially, then they'd really struggle financially. I don't really know how we move forward from the situation we find ourselves in.

DMP making sure that despite the best efforts of Covid-19 Darlo will get a Panto this year, by issuing the classic 'ohhh no it isn't (but we can't comment on open matters)' response: https://www.mowdenpark.com/news/club-statement--darlington-sports-village-2549031.html You have to take the last par...

If the plug is pulled on the sporting village DMP could be more desperate to get us involved in the stadium.

I'd heard that they've already agreed that we would have priority on Saturday's if we played at the Arena, before the Sporting Village was really mentioned.

If true it gives us virtually no options & unfortunately our bargaining position with the rugby club will be greatly diminished. Really bad news for the club going forward. Our only possible option would be to play at the Arena, something I think DMP could well be interested in, as there is no way t...

I think Barnsley have a better chance of overhauling them, so hopefully they'll win. For me the worst result would be a draw, which might relieve the pressure on them & Warnock.

Yes I don't think Toronto entered the RL ladder expecting to not play a home game all season, relegation would be very unfair, although I don't think it is a certainty that they'd end up bottom. Also if relegation was ruled out it would take out a lot of intensity from a good few of the end of seaso...

Good to see that despite a blip, Warnock has carried on from were Woodgate left off. The only question is whether Barnsley & or Luton can catch Boro.

I see Hull are causing problems over wages & it is threatening the start of SL at the start of August.

I think it will be very unpredictable as to who goes up. The lockdown will definitely even things up & I think any team in the play-offs could go up.

I think the most frustrating things, are that it's taking so long for any news about new signings & that we haven't had the usual leaks of potential targets. The lack of news about potential targets is probably good for the club, as it is far better for contract talks to take place in private than o...

That's terrible news, Jamie was a fantastic bloke & he'll be sadly missed by everyone. Condolences to his family at this sad time.

Of course we abide by the rules, you're just jealous, haha.

Great news for Wigan, that John Bateman is returning from the Canberra Raiders, were he has been a great success at the start of next season. It seems curious that there has been a steady trickle of especially Wigan players who have gone over to the NRL been a success, but then return to their origi...

Queuing for a haircut pete hope it was by appointment as that is how hairdressers have been allowed to open, no queues, appointment only. With P.P.E in place. Plenty of queues outside of barber shops down here in York Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Nope no appointments at my barbers. I was fi...

I was queuing for a haircut this morning & I was talking to a chap who's been going to watch Darlo for years. He said that we are trying to get a keeper from Wigan, who was born in this area, but he didn't know his name. Also no surprise to hear that we are after O.Neill from Boro.

Strange times as normally the players would all have been recruited, they'd be now back in training & we'd be looking forward to pre-season friendlies.

Sad to here that Wigan Athletic have gone into administration & face the prospect of relegation to Div 1. I hope the football authorities are lenient on Wigan & I'm sure Wigan won't be the last club to go into administration over the summer.

I think it is unfair to compare Walshy & Thommo. Walshy was playing in a struggling side, whilst Thommo played in a team that was nearly always on top in the league we were playing in. Both players rightly hold a special place in fan's hearts. Does anybody think any future player will break Walshy &...

Sorry for going on about it, the offending posts had been on here for about 2 weeks & I thought you had missed them. Thanks for removing them Mikky.

He could end up at Vicarage Road.

Could also end up at The Abbey, Cambridge

Perhaps either of the St. James Park's may be an option?

Have you got Netflix, Pete? I'd highly recommend Dark if you do.

Nope just sky, but I am planning to get It this autumn, I'll look it up, thanks.

I'm thoroughly enjoying the second series of Das Boot, although it has veered away from the original Das Boot series/film.

It's a pity that Alun didn't mention the btb in his interview, but like others have said a 'great article'.

Best game was obviously Walsall away, the away support was fantastic. Best moment was Wheatley's goal in the same game. Best goal was Hatfield's goal at Guiseley. Best player definitely was Hatfield, the midfield driving force that we've been missing for a long time. Grade B at times we were excelle...

SL returns on the 2-8-20, with a bottom of the table clash between Hull KR & Toronto. 3 games to be played at a neutral ground, with a full round of fixtures a week later.

Bad news that the Championship & Division 1 can't decide on to whether to abandon the season or re-start it!! Apparently they are going to conduct a survey, well good luck with that.

Can I ask Mikky why posts especially on this forum, which are clearly spam are not being deleted after they have been reported? them being left on here is encouraging others to post their rubbish on here. I have PM'd Mikky about this issue, the PM has been read but no response & the posts are just l...

I'm not signed up to twitter, what did the article say?

Rather bizarrely I saw an ISL van at Seaham & it still uses the same on it's company logo, as one on it's logo on our shirt.

I wonder if this news improves the chances of O'Neill leaving Boro & coming here?
