Darlo Uncovered

I'm sure MG would stay for another year, on the basis we fund a new stand. I agree though he would not hang around if there was uncertainty.

This ground grading issue will have other repercussions, beyond the kick in the balls the NL will deliver in the next week

How much will it cost to upgrade the ground next year?

It can't be underestimated the massive PR impact this will have, not forgetting the impact on playing squad/management and any possible future signings. It will very much feel like a backwards step, especially to the floating fans

How much is an extra 250 seat stand, plus whatever additional upgrades are needed for cat A?

Quite right. We don't want a PR disaster. Also, before today I was really excited about the rest of the season. Now I'm just feeling flat. If a hardcore fan like me feels like that, what are the floating fans going to be thinking. And please, I don't want any apologists coming on here denying my fe...

http://www.nonleaguematters.co.uk/forum/gforum.cgi?post=320171;guest=35610925 This is the background to when Eastwood were denied a place in the playoffs as their 500 seats were in three stands, instead of two. As we don't even have enough seats full stop, i can't see the league making an exception.

I know i'm clutching at straws.

To add to the confusion, the FSIF tendering quotes..."The FA National Ground Grading Criteria requires clubs at Step 2 to have 250 seats. Whilst it is acknowledged that the National League requires Step 2 clubs to have 500 seats to be eligible to participate in the “play-offs”, the additional 250 s...

Bottom line.... we're fucked if we want promotion via the playoffs this year

I thought it was 250 seats for Cat B?

Indeed we are then fucked.

Reading the ground grading docs, it's all very contradictory From the FA Ground Grading document (May 2016) "Promotion and promotion play-offs: To qualify for promotion to the National League by winning the respective NORTH/SOUTH Championship and for the club to participate in the promotion play of...

I'm actually not that bothered. Play offs would have been a bit of fun but as I have said countless times before this season has not at all been about promotion for me. I think a lot of people (fans, management and players) will disagree with you there. Why bother competing if you don't what to be ...

Regarding stadium improvements, dont we need to be in the league above to obtain additional grants to help improve the ground, increasing seating capacity etc....a league we cant get into with the way the ground is currently If this is the case then we have an even bigger problem than the league sa...

I know the club does not have to comment on everything, but in this instance it does worry me that the club has not said whether we can compete in the playoffs, especially considering the ground grading criteria which has been published in this thread - it is somewhat unclear. Hopefully i'm complete...

Let's not pretend that DFC doesn't know who these idiots are. There will be loads of photos of them today, and many of these individuals are at home games behind the goal in the tin shed. It's no good posting statements before the game and requesting for information after the game. We know who they ...

50mph gusts blowing towards the tin shed.

Halifax sold 309 tickets according to a post on the Darlo facebook page

If you look closely, there is another article about us on the BBC football homepage. That's two in two days!

40-50 mph gusts expected on Monday. Hopefully the HP wind machine does not follow us to BM

Halifax still have 350 tickets to sell. Going on general sale tomorrow.

Will the goals be the same position as the rugby posts? If so, there will be quite a distance between them and the tin shed

Really should be a fairer way of this being done rather than first come first served. How are people who live and work out of the local area meant to get to BM during the week? I posted my application this morning, but clearly people who live in town can hand deliver or drive the BM with ease! Dista...

I assume you will be able to pick up seasons tickets at the ground tomorrow? Been away recently so not had chance to pick it up yet.

2004 minus however many season ticket holders we have. Will be close to a sell out considering there was 1700 at Spenny today

The equation is simple. 4 points from 3 games for the title.

We would also win the title on Tuesday if we better Blyth's result.

Not got correct footwear?

It's going to be off

Stamford refusing to play on 3G. Chaos!!
