Darlo Uncovered

When exactly next season will start is of course down to what happens in the next few weeks and months, but at least when it does start the authorities will be able to plan what shape it should take. If it does not start until say October or November then they could plan for a shortened season of p...

No integrity for steps 3-6 though is there? Exactly. Why are people so desperate to get next season started on time? Get this season finished first. The FA have the power to make sure this happens so why not do that. Next season is likely to be disrupted too so what will we do then? Void another se...

I'm sure, if owners putting money into football club to keep things going is such a bad thing, PJ Poolie will be encouraging Raj Singh not to put any money into Hartlepool over this period. Of course, this would mean Hartlepool go bust, but there we go. Post that on the poolie board and wait for th...

https://darlingtonfc.co.uk/fixtures Wow. Check out our fixtures on the official website. They're not hopeful of this ending anytime soon. Very disappointed as we obviously not made promotion in 79 years[emoji26] Could have gone all the way up to the Prem and back again leaving the arena a 55k all s...

I don't see how anyone could fail to see the irony in BJ getting the virus. I don't wish him ill at all, but my first thought when I heard the news was I hope a few of the fools learn from this. Just yesterday people were arguing on a selling site that "It can be sorted so we are safe" when going t...

Just been announced that Boris has git the dreaded lurgi. Don't know if I should laugh or cry. :roll: Laughing at someone having a virus which is killing thousands would say more about you than anything else. Disagree with someone’s politics all you want, but let’s retain some semblance of humanity...

What are you saying? That Boris thought being Prime Minister and dealing with global issues would be straightforward? Stop talking rot and put your political views aside. I don’t agree with Angela Rayner or Kate Osborne. Doesn’t mean I don’t have sympathy for them being ill. Let’s be grown up about...

You're saying the F.A. are a bunch of Tossers?

Was going to say what is the point suing the league they had no say in the matter. FWIW the FA handbook (http://www.thefa.com/-/media/files/thefaportal/governance-docs/rules-of-the-association/2019-20/fa-handbook-2019---revised.ashx) has two clauses in it. One states that the playing season must be...

I watched Martin Lewis tonight. He was most insistent that employees who couldn't work because of this crisis can be "furloughed", meaning the Gov just feed back 80% of their wage back through their pay packet. He even told a story of a friend of his who had just been sacked. Martin Lewis said to h...

If the club are proactive they should put all PAYE staff as furloughed staff as at least 80% of PAYE costs will be covered. I don’t think they will be able to apply for CBIL due to the previous accounts and the fact the banks are looking for security, as we don’t have any. Most players finish up be...

Blyth are lucky South Shields unlucky Teams at the bottom can simply not bother in remaining games as can't go down Which remaining games? The season is over. :roll: Not in the 3 divisions of the National League. It's only been ended from Steps 3 and below And you really believe they will end up an...

Which remaining games? The season is over.

I see Darlington has the joint 3rd lowest outbreaks of Coronavirus amongst the Local Authorities in England, with only Blackburn & Darwen & Hull with fewer cases. Bluntly, and ashamed to say, I am amazed Hull is relatively low. I went onto a local site on Monday and posted a scathing comment along ...

I'm sure many clubs will be using the pandemic as a reason for getting players to take wage cuts & laying off non-playing staff. I don't think a 20% pay cut is too bad, it could have been far worse for their players. Does this 80% figure mean that the staff are just getting the government subsidy, ...

Those figures mean nothing if you have no information on how many tests are being conducted.

There must be some versions out there somewhere. I've no idea if the club would have any.

An online watchalong would be great. I've noticed Boro doing it and it's gone down well.

Wonder what I'd see, that I missed on the day, by watching it sober?

Sadly the reality for us is we will be weaker next season in terms of budget but will others be weaker, who knows and not something I want to concentrate on as we can only control our own future. At the moment we are expecting to spend more money than we would of from the EB Season Ticket as we pay...

Think it was Frank Zappa, not Necessity.

Just hope Joe's Garage doesn't go bust

Can we put a ban on them visiting Blackwell meadows - with the exception of the capitulation against AFC Telford United our home defeats this season. Bradford park avenue 0 1 York city 0 2 guiseley 0 3 farsley Celtic 2 4 even our fa trophy run was ended by Harrogate town 0 2 - I'm seriously thinkin...

Bet this outsells the new one.
Kick in the teeth to EBAC if it does.

Hopefully sales of this one will be just about done before next season's strip becomes available & lots of us will buy both.

Bullying women again is he?

The horrible old knacker deserves to be locked up again. It still amazes me he's still going to be honest, given the age and size of him. There won't be many who are sad when he shuffles off this mortal coil. Nasty piece of work.

When was he ever honest?

I wonder if Hereford will be as considerate towards us like we have been towards Leamington if the bad weather persists next weekend. That would be one wasted journey that would definitely have me tearing my hair out. Just been looking at the weather forecast for that, as it's about the only game I...

Only have two words to say about Salford, and the first one rhymes with pluck.

Yes, I got that first one easy enough, but what is the second? Sleepness night ahead

Erm, 'em
