URGENT - Official Poll Name Change

Tori, Laura et al Firstly thanks for getting something up and running BUT this Poll is SERIOUSLY flawed. It uses a cookie based website which basically means you get one vote per computer. There is no need to log in and if Dad has voted then son, daughter, wife etc can't. On the other hand - just go...

I'm undecided. On the one hand a season ticket provides a guaranteed income for the Club but I'm a bit disappointed in the discount. £150 is quite a whack to have to stand and miss five games which many of us do and you're out of pocket. Also weekday nights in winter are going to be a logistical pro...

Back on topic. I see in the NLP that the entire fabric of their old ground is now up for sale. This would be a good time to pick up some much needed extras for Shildon or the future. Turnstiles, seats, urinals etc as a first priority.

Perhaps it's an indication of how long it will really take. After Darlington has already been granted city status. :(
