Darlo Uncovered

I saw the other day Scarborough are putting in a new stand at their new place, and they're letting people vote for their preferred writing on the seats when they donate (Boro, SAFC or Seadogs). Wonder if we could do the same in future. It'd be nice to get DFC in black lettering on the seats. We're ...

I'm curious about 'boost the budget'.... it was sold to make us more competitive and push up the league, no? Well, if we've done that, and we've the smallest squad in the division... Either some of our players are being paid far too much, or this club will cease to be able to compete at this level ...

I heard on the grapevine that Northumbrian Water aren't adverse to building over the pipe as long as its encased in a void so they can get access should the worst happen. This might make it more viable to develop BM although you would still have the rugby run off a few people don't like. I know its...

Surely spenny or York must have a couple of spare bodies with a bit of experience? But we'd have to cover a portion of their wages. With using Boro, Sunderland, Newcastle it's likely that they'll cover most if not all the wage Is there a rule that says clubs have to cover X% of a player's wage whil...

They are.... I think this includes looking at the cost of moving that effing pipe!! Pretty sure I read that somewhere, some comms from the SG maybe.

There was talk of a clubhouse and 4G pitch, but then the council have allowed 4G pitches to be built at the Village as well, effectively scuppering our main income source before it begins. The building of the 4G pitch and clubhouse is crucial here. DJ stated in the NetCafe in May that he wants the ...

Will be very surprised if Tommy is not in charge for the Nuneaton game, really cannot see anything happening this week.Surely some activity on the playing front will be announced and I would think that will be it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Nuneaton are even worse than us... he'll get a win a...

For the same reason, Carl Jarrett, Marske United

I can't believe all of this hysteria about players missing training sessions. We're a part-time club... what do you expect? If we were a professional club in League Two and players were skipping training then it's perfectly fair to say that the manager has lost control, but in this instance I think...

Thommo to South Shields I reckon...

That won't happen.

where's the Syers to Farsley link mate? Can't find anything?

My understanding of the sporting hub is that it will be a joint venture between council and rugby club with both parties hoping for some sustainable income from it going forward. The rugby club have the land and existing facilities and the council have access to investment to support the building o...

I really am baffled as to why the council want to chuck money at this project for mowden. I don't get it at all. Don't forget, freeing up the site generates a lot of housing stock. The stadium site is only about 30% or so of the total area under discussion here. Also, if the initial plans that were...

That would effectively be like pressing the self destruct button.

our finger us currently hovering over and it and we're twitching.

if it's not looking extremely healthy I'll be flabbergasted.

There's nothing on any platform I can find to say he's gone and the club tweeted him directly about his birthday earlier... where's this been confirmed?

LoidLucan wrote:He's another one who has looked an extremely unhappy player.

Have we got any players who actually look happy?

At the moment I believe the club is pretty rudderless with no real plan or strategy of where we want to go and how we get there, apart from the oft trotted out “aspiration of getting back into the league”. The sporting village seems to be the thing that has been hung onto for the last 12 months or ...

Nope, and it would also involve us playing at the Arena - which I personally wouldn't mind, but many would be against it. Cos BM is so much better isn't it. I'd go back to the arena tomorrow... I don't get why people wouldn't because of the past... fair enough don't let Singh back, but the arena is...

60k rent....my god have we been ripped off by the rugby lot...no wonder we are struggling for cash.Shocked if that figure is correct. Sent from my moto g(6) play using Tapatalk it is correct, I had a look back recently, I think Craig Stoddart made a list of highlights from the presentation DJ gave ...

It appears that to move forward at the moment you need to either have a benefactor putting in and writing off vast sums (not recommending that as we have had that before and look where we ended up) or have an incredibly efficient and successful commercial department bringing substantial monies into...

One thing's for sure, if we don't get a win against Nuneaton a week on Saturday this bad situation will get a whole lot worse. I read Stod's match report in the Echo, a fair reflection on the match and a worrying read for anyone who has an interest! if we lose to Nuneaton, even the most deluded cha...

I've heard both - that Hardy was to be our next manager (someone from within Whitby told me this on the Friday, said he was going to take charge of the Whitby match on the Saturday first. Seems this person contacted a lot of people...), but also that Hardy was never overly interested, that it was a...

I'm not so sure it was as straightforward as Hardy didnt want the job last time. Was an approach made to his club? Everything was clouded over with TW's infamous U turn. I'm sure if feelers were put out and it was done through the right channels he would be interested. I think he likes things done ...

There should be no excuse for any player that is fit enough to train to not attend. I haven't even heard of that happening in the northern league. I remember watching a pre season interview after the first training session and it was mentioned that styche had took the lads to one side and did some ...

RIP Kevin... not just ex Darlo, also ex Swans... very sad news

Here's a name for a new manager - Carl Jarrett, Marske Utd. Won the division, left them because the club said they would never take promotion... then when the club were forced to by the FA, he came back, won the division again and took them up, where they are currently challenging for another promot...

Wonder if this is a missed opportunity? Apparently (and unusually) Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Sunderland all away that weekend. Maybe we would have got a bigger crowd on the Sunday if Saturday was impossible? Also better for fans who travel long distances. TBH Pete we won't get anymore on a Sunda...

I noticed that TW passed a milestone in this last game against Hereford. He has now been in charge for more than a full season of games. His league record since taking over the reins in the game against Blyth in October last year is: Played 43, Won 13, a win ratio of 30.2%. This season we have won ...
