I would be a bit concerned if the Greens and or Lib Dems are in a ruling coalition. They both pander to the NIMBYs and might try to block new developments.
Where are you wanting these new developments to be located?

On the outskirts of towns increasing the footprint?

If these people were ostracised/shunned by their peers - that would work better than anything else. A pipe dream maybe? This.

Sad news about Poolie’s Mr Ripper

I was catching up on things over in Chokerville and was shocked/saddened to see that Mr Ripper has passed away. I remember many jousts with the copper-topped fella during the height of the Darlo/Pools messageboard war. His passing is especially poignant as he was a victim of the same awful disease t...

Re: The Hodgy team of 99/00 - if they had been promoted

It’s always extraordinary to think that team didn’t get promotion. Even with the poor run-in, if we’d only drawn with Northampton at home in April rather than lose (1-0 courtesy of a former Hanger, IIRC) we’d have been promoted. It would have all collapsed the following season, mind. I have always ...

Nigel Pepper - 1990/91 season

Can anyone confirm my vague recollection that Nigel Pepper got sent off three times against Darlo in the 1990/91 season (we played York in the FA Cup as well in case you’re wondering how it was three times)?

If so, that’s a cracking stat.

He became Mr Darlo to me in the years following the move to the Arena. A force of nature that still had so much more to give to the club. One of the best fundraisers you’d ever meet - he could get blood out of a stone and what he did for Darlo and the Dog Rescue Home in Texas was inspiring. This phr...

Re: Darlington Attendaces - One for the Oldies

Saw a picture on Facebook showing results on 12 October 1968 Showing Darlington drew 0-0 with Rochdale in front of a crowd of over 7000. That season Darlington finished 5th, so just missed out on promotion and Rochdale went up, so fair to assume it was a top of the table clash. Further checks here ...

Spot the Quaker

I’ve just remembered this from the 80s - for those not familiar, the aim was to find a small man wearing a Quaker’s hat somewhere in the newspaper and you could win a prize. Was it in something called The Advertiser?

I’m sure some weeks they didn’t actually put the Quaker in the paper.

Bit weird. How on earth your political allegiance allows you to soften your stance on such a woeful football club, ran by a man who nearly destroyed this club, is confusing to me.

As ever, I wish nothing but financial ruin and abject misery on that football club.
