Re: 2022/23 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Are the Women’s Team and the Academy one and the same? They are the same line in the accounts. I do think people misinterpret the intent of the Academy. It would actually surprise me if it ever produces, or even intends to produce, players for the first team. Academies outside of the professional c...

Re: 2022/23 FINANCIAL RESULTS

How do the women's team and academy make a profit, are they funded through some central funding source? Obviously can't be through gate receipts.

Re: Points deduction

The Bury 2 match ban was for discriminatory language. My understanding is that it was for about 8 separate charges in the past 2 seasons. These have ranged from racism, pitch invasions, general violent disorder and also pyros. Yes, the decision to close the ground was made becaue Bury had seven rec...

You can pause DFR until it is in sync with NLTV. Took me a while to find it on my phone - an Android. With the mixlr app running you go back to the front screen where you normally login to the phone with your PIN and you will see Mixlr with a pause button on it.

Re: National League TV.

I’ve watched a few this season, our home matches always have commentary but the away matches are hit and miss. To be honest with their accents having no commentary on Tuesday might not be a bad thing as I don’t believe there are any subtitles. Quality isn’t too bad considering, one of the matches w...

Re: Points deduction

Bury are behind closed doors at the moment which was in part due to pyrotechnics. The difference they are under County FA discipline - I haven't seen Wembley ever issue that out. I don't think they can it would set a precedent which they would have to apply from top to bottom. I thought Bury was du...

Re: Spennymoor V Darlington

It was a bit of a surprise to see left-back Reece Staunton come on as a second half sub for Spenny given that he wasn't listed as a sub in their published team sheet before the game. Dan Myers had been getting absolutely roasted down that flank in the first half and they obviously had to stem the f...

Mad when you think we managed to lose twice to the worst team in the league. Should have been an easy 6 points.
Bishops Stortford have got 35% of their points for this season from us.

I listened on DFR. Didn’t this goalie make two good saves at the end of the match? I think from Salkeld.
Not sure I'd describe one from Salkeld as a save as much as he picked up a shot...
He also dived to push away a strong shot from Salkeld late on, a good save.

Ahh I forgot the season finished in September!

Even if Armstrong had stayed we would not be in this mess now, we...

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24

Surely to make the fan-owned model work you need a minimum degree of talent, skills and enthusiasm among your fanbase. We want a fan owned club but we don't actually have any fans capable of running the club. Seems like there is a flaw in the plan.

When you are expecting two players who are usually full backs to supply the ammo for a front 1 then you get the result that idea deserves. Absolute desperation excepting that to work.
Full backs should be able to cross a ball.

Bottom line is that the players are not strong enough, fit enough and just blatantly not good enough to keep us in this league.
