mentioned at the end after the youth trials stuff

I cannot imagine that winning the Northern League has ever meant so much to a club and its fans or been celebrated in such style.

All being well we will have to do it all again next year.

I'm sorry but... He told the leagues: “It is vital that we are advised of your step five (including Northern League) promotion teams by midnight on Tuesday May 7 , as the step 1-4 club allocation meeting takes place in Worcester on May 8.” But today he told the Gazette: “We don’t control the league...

Now that Spenny are playing beyond the deadline when the FA meet to sort out promotion from step 5 to 4 they may well have a situation where either us or Spenny could still win the league on the day of the meeting. As the FA make the rules, and break them as they see fit, could they simply say: Ther...

The thing that really impressed me today was our discipline - on the field and the bench - it would have been so easy to get dragged into the physical and verbal stuff. Well done for MG for drilling the discipline side of things into the squad - and to the players for rising above what was going on ...

It seems we have a new commercial manager

The cost of photocopying 800 sheets of paper and posting them out?

Yes - should have been sent via email

One of the problems with the workstreams seems to be getting them started - once up and running they should generate their own momentum, pretty much like the existing DFC fundraising group. In addition to the suggestions for volunteer registers etc, would it be possible - puts more work on the peopl...

One thing that was mentioned briefly was the involvement (or lack of it) of the advisory board (peter barron, jenny Chapman etc). There was a slide put up with a statement from them that basically said 'we knew nothing - we were repeatedly assured everything was OK'. Assuming they were not being del...

at the moment there was only 2 or 3 rides getting set up,im guessing more will come tomorrow.i work nearby herritage park so will see tomorrow Just been to The March Hare myself and plenty more rides have turned up. The whole car park will be out of action. Dont think those who have bought parking ...

If you have a Peugeot just drive up to main door waving a briefcase.

There's only an intention to have 2 boards at the moment, a CIC board and a football club board. However given the CIC only own 52% of the club I can't see how that can be passed given it would give neither the Supporters Club or individual investors a say. There is a plan to get the CIC share to 7...

I don't know if it applies to all of them, but Tori did say (sat night?) that she was 'bound and gagged'.

May have been kinky...or just cryptic.

If you watching across the running track at Eastbourne how much further away from the touchline would you be than, say, the front row of seats at the arena?

A reminder will be sent to all members shortly before their annual renewal date - regardless of how theyhave paid their membership - email to those who have provided an address, and by post to the rest. if you have set up a standing order via a bank you will need to amend it - the new trust board ha...

From Craig Stoddarts blog on the echo site:

Word reaching the press box that Mike Amos was given an earful from an elderly lady, who also happens to be a Darlington supporter, in the bar at Billingham Town today regarding The Battle of Dunston a fortnight ago

"new steward on the gate" alfie, pete ashmore one of the board, pitching in to do yet another job....bit more credit me thinks I did actually know it was Pete Ashmore - and all credit to him and the other board members who just get on and do the things that need doing (like Tori selling programmes)...

Since we got that new steward on the gate things seem to have improved dramatically. I think he should be promoted to a job inside the ground. The only 'problem' now is that it still takes quite a while to get out - the problem seems to be not just at the gate to the car park, but traffic backing up...

Apologies if this has been dealt with elsewhere, but... I can understand not wanting people standing directly in front of the new stand and blocking the view of people sat there, but what about the bit directly behind the goal in the gap between the two stands - is this a permanent ban or just while...

OK I'll jump in first. Were 1883 aware of Mowdens plans? Have there been any discussions with Mowden about possible future uses of the arena? Clearly depends on what they plan to do with it - but from what is known (generally and any extra to 1883) does this have any impact on the Return to Darlo pl...

Isn't the game Mowden play rugby football?

we'll be looking forward to the first competitive game in our new home back in town?

or has it quietly slipped to a more realistic 2 or 3 years?

Do we know when season tickets and car passes purchased on line will be delivered - or can they be collected from the Hole in the Wall.

Drove past the arena this morning - noticed the flags are still flying. Who do they belong to - any chance of getting the club flag and putting it on a flagpole at Bishop for our home games?

car passes - are they linked to a specific car - or will any car waving the pass be allowed in - thinking of car sharing - so 2 or 3 different cars will be turning up during the season - is 1 car pass OK to be used between all of them?

Was there a reason why Sean - with his Darlo and Arthur Wharton connections - didn't do his bit in the town instead of Saltburn. Are we so stuffed with worthy torch carriers we export them to other towns?

I suppose an appeal like this can go several ways 1. No change - the FA decide they were right all along - most likely? 2. Reduction in punishement - new evidence might suggest either the offences were less serious than thought, or on reflection in the circumstances the punishment was too harsh 3. I...

If a club needs this share to play how come Raj still has anyhting to do with it. When we went into admin why didnt the share move across from darlo 2009 to Harvey madden with all the other assets and debts After the admin darlo 2009 and Raj had nothing to do with the club except for being creditors...

Darlington fcuked by Singh and the FA FC

Does anybody know what time the FA decision will be announced
