Darlo Uncovered

Another year of playing Spenny.

Opened the non league paper and there was a very odd article about morpeth. The manager said they are not ready for promotion but knows they have to take it. Im guessing if it was not compulsery they would have declined Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk Can't be ready after winning the Vase and t...

Well unless you can magic up some extra cash the only way of increasing fairness is changing the distribution of the current funding which has to result in some being better off and others being worse off than they currently are. There is no financial net gain but the increase in fairness and abili...

I never said anything about the NL. All clubs travel costs being subsidised would make it a more even playing field. The costs of Carlise, for example, fulfilling their contract with the FA is higher than an equivalent club in the Midlands so why should they get the same remuneration? Sent from my ...

Spot on shildonlad. If you go through the list of champions, the number of times the Northern League failed to promote anyone was unreal. Since Durham in 07/08, only us, Spennymoor and South Shields have been promoted. That's at least six seasons where a team hasn't been promoted. No wonder there's...

So, they’re adding a third southern division? How’s that going to help the north south feeds into the national leagues??? No, they're adding a midlands (central) league at step 3. The wording is mis-leading as its the Southern Premier League who'll be running the league but it'll cover those clubs ...

i can see Northern League clubs who are forcibly promoted just going through the motions in the higher division, not having any ambition and not actually caring if they get relegated back to where they came from, and i for one couldnt blame them Getting relegated can be difficult from the gluestick...

So, they’re adding a third southern division? How’s that going to help the north south feeds into the national leagues??? A lot of Midlands teams will no longer be in the North section, because they will be deemed Central. Most Northern League teams may be happier with games on the East side of the...

So, they’re adding a third southern division? How’s that going to help the north south feeds into the national leagues??? Is designed to help the Isthmian League reduce its already small footprint even further. The main driving force at the FA is connected to the Isthmian League I'd argue the Isthm...

I've been looking at the table, after tonight we've now let in less goals than York! I too have checked the league table, I see we are 10 points behind York. Does anyone know how many points we were behind York when MG left us? (Sorry for the obsession) Darlo - 17pts from 13 games York - 15pts from...

Good on him. Headline on page 40 of Today's Echo "Ambitious Club's ground upgrade gets under way" First sentance then says "a Football Club with Northern League aspirations....." Did the Reporter not read this before it was printed! I dont think that was a mistake. The Northern League is the pinnac...

Forrest green Make it to the football league with a 2.5m loss for the season apparently. The conference national will be more appealing in 4/5 years time when all these villagers get to the football league Flyde,SALFORD . Problem is in 4/5 years it'll be someone else being bankrolled. Either get to...

I make absolutely no apologies that I am set on the club living within its means and the destiny of the club being in the hands of the fans. I aspire for us to achieve the highest possible position we can within that remit. I think that is beyond just existing. If to get external investment it mean...

Thin skinned, or has there been another development behind the scenes that has made these plans hit the skids? He said he saw the backlash on social media, probably didn't want to see how bad it would be in person if he invested and turned up at a game. How deluded must he be if he did not think th...

Yup, MG knew that he had sufficient respect / hero worship within the fan base (and power within the club) to get away with what was quite extraordinarily unprofessional conduct at the forum. It was only the gravitas of the bigger picture that meant we didn't focus on it. I imagine his relationship...

Dead against having Raj Singh involved with the club again.

We might see another team promoted from the Northern League if they did.







Actually lets not get carried away

Of course we should aim for promotion from next season to get into Conference North but as others have said, if we finished 10th and moved back to Darlington I'd be happy with that. For me, the NPL is like playing a top 8 team from from Division 1 North every week. You don't get those weeks against ...

I thought gate receipts from cup games and playoffs were shared after costs like stewarding etc?

Huge comeback, nerves are shredded.

Dowson 3-2

Come on!!!

2-1 Spenny

Must have been just before HT, huge goal.
