Re: Darlington FC V Harrogate
I personally thought Beck's 'booing' was more of a pantomime, tongue in cheek booing. He got plenty of applause where we were near the tunnel. I think it was pantomime too. I don't blame him for moving on as he wanted full time football, although was his heart in it at the start of the season? He w...

Re: Current Cash Flow
It would be good if we had better online ticketing - maybe even an app that can be scanned at the turnstiles. This way we could offer tickets weeks before games all year round, at a reduced price (£10 or £12). The reduced price would encourage more people to buy upfront and allows a quicker access ...

Re: Darlington v Brackley Town
We've played 9 league games so far. Our average is 1511. I'm forecasting that we'll average 1543 for rest of season, purely because games against Salford, Harrogate, York & Blyth will pull in higher than average crowds, York in particular should be an excellent gate. The rest of the games, bar Kidde...

I understand your thinking in terms of him being one of the main strikers but today was his first start of the season. Love his energy, effort & commitment and would play him most times at t...

Re: Team v Stockport
I wonder if Burgess might make a comeback? Probably need Galbraith at LB now Ferguson has gone But apart from that, I'd probably go with that team. Although Cartman on his own up front looks a bit weak. Hopefully Syers can rediscover last seasons form if we're going to play a bit more football. Bur...

How wealthy is Brad Groves? If Spenny do go up, would he be prepared to bankroll them to the cost of a million? He'll already need 150k plus for them to be eligible for promotion this season? Anyway, I'd hope we could all think longer term. Slowly we are getting there regarding the infrastructure. ...

An incredible away support for this level.

Syers is 30 in November.
If we wanted to go full time under fan ownership then we'd need crowds in excess of 3k, probably closer to 3.5k.
