Re: View from the Board/DJ
My understanding, council have no money to help, interest rates for stadium loan presently too high, a developer we were working with on a potential site (possibly Faverdale) has been beaten or gazumped by another developer who DJ will meet with shortly to see how much they want for earliest 26/27 s...

Re: Blyth V Darlington
I don't think my heart has slowed down from the last five minutes yet, cracking atmosphere just as good as at South Shields. Blyth in first half were better than us, we gave the ball away time after time, which was more JG era; Hedley and Cornish kept getting overloaded and that save By Young from b...

Re: Matty Cornish
great energy, great feet and like Lambert tries to look for a forward pass and not affected if it doesn't come off first time. And can score a goal, I would hope we can keep him for next season.

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24
Hope Tommy Taylor is OK following his collision with the post on Saturday. Watching it again it was a hell of a knock and he bravely carried on for the best part of the ninety minutes, I would imagine in some pain and discomfort. I think sometimes we forget that players can’t just put their feet up...

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24
With just 8 home games left, it is really important we get a good run of home form going. The last one, when we beat Hereford was more like it, and we need more of the same on Saturday against Alfreton. We will have to see exactly who is available, but would think we might go with a back 4 of Griff...

Re: Kevin Luff
Absolute legend! Providing so much of his own time giving us fans all the goals and highlights over the years. I would argue that this should be a paid job as it gives the club exposure via media channels. As a so called media manager is happy to take a wage for sub standard stuff. Out of order dig ,
