Darlo Uncovered

We would kill for crowds of 4,500 at home games. (Granted we haven't got the facilities to cope with that at this stage) If we had that amount of interest from the town, a town of a population of around 110,000, we would not be playing as a part time club in division six. So much emphasis is placed ...

I’m sure the club are aware, and will be looking to add players.

However, they have to be of a good enough standard, be available and be within our budget.

If that’s the case then we don’t have the piss taken out of us and wait until May/June when he is out of contract and get him for nothing. As much as he’s been immense for us and we all want him to stay, paying a large fee now when we can wait and get him for free in 6 months wouldn’t make great bus...

Easiest possible tie at home.

Like Ghost said, let’s try and aim for the third round and a proper massive away tie.

Great result.

Lowest ranked team at home please. One win away from pulling a big League 1 or a League 2 club out of the hat away from home.

Stick the ‘I wouldn’t mind going there for a day out shite’ for the next round, most winnable game at home please.

Easiest possible draw at home please. Chance to bank another chunk of money for the club and a change to get closer to that illusive first round and a big pay day away at a bigger club.

Holmes
Trotman
O’Neill
Atkinson
Laing

All injured

Liddle not 100% fit
Galbraith not 100% fit

Are we the most jinxed club ever?

Add to that Blackburn Rovers that are £100m in debt to their owners, it feels like football league finances are on a cliff edge at the moment. We just have to be patient, realistic and look to grow slowly and sensibly, it might not suit a lot of people but if we want to do things properly then it’s ...

Superb performance today, every player put a shift in and some of the football at times was a joy to watch. The work rate from the whole team was insane, the fitness levels compared to last season is on another level altogether. Disappointing crowd, we should be getting 1500 at home games in my opin...

There’s three big problems regarding getting a quality big centre forward that is both good on the deck and in the air: 1. There aren’t that many top notch ones about. 2. Bearing this in mind, they cost top dollar, and in a queue for players financially we are stood behind Spennymoor, South Shields,...

Striker wise we've got Campbell and O'Neill, and I reckon Thompson, Rivers, Holmes and even Hatfield if he is allowed to push on will all contribute goals. Plus we've got the likes of Laing, Galbraith, Heaton etc that are all big lads that can contrbute from set peices. The manager will play with on...

Another great bit of news, commercial side of the club appears to be light years ahead of where it was this time last year.

I’m not sure Newcastle would see it good for his development and for their investment if he is sat on the bench in the National League North

Campbell’s situation is very similar to that of Mark Beck’s when we signed him. Been in the football league, bereft of confidence, previous club fans not saying very positive things about him, him dropping down a few levels to look to resurrect his career. Turned out that Beck was actually an outsta...

I’d be happy with finishing top half and getting through a few rounds of the FA Cup, increasing attendances/season ticket numbers etc. We are light years away from the likes of Hereford/York/Spenny/Telford in terms of resources. I think any talk of promotion pushes after having a half decent pre sea...

https://darlingtonfc.co.uk/news/season-ticket-sales-update As the title states, club aiming for 1,000 sales. Let’s get this target smashed, club has put together a great pay monthly option so if you’re thinking about it but haven’t done so yet you’ve got two weeks to do so, without having to fork ou...

Hartlepool have shifted 3,000 season tickets according to their official twitter.

As for us I reckon 800 - 900, we never get to find out the official figure so it's all just guess work when it comes to actual numbers.

Blyth played with Maguire up top on his own with players around him linking in. It worked very well for them in the three seasons Armstrong managed up there. Don’t need a tall player up front to be successful. Plus these players are at a premium so cost stupid amounts of money, and we aren’t going d...

I'd genuinely like to know how many we have sold. And I'd love to see the club try and hit 1,000 season ticket holders, with incentives to drive sales. Like the 250th, 500th, 750th and 1,000th etc person who signs up for a season ticket gets a free season ticket, and a totaliser so people can see ho...

I’d imagine Armstrong is grafting like mad to get a striker and a goalie in but because of the financial madness at this level that we don’t involve ourselves in we are always gunna be further back in the queue for players. It certainly won’t be for the want of trying. Plus the fact Ainge and Burn a...

Insane numbers that we can’t compete with running a prudent and sensible financial model.

I reckon Maguire would have loved to come and play under Armstrong again and with players he’s played with previously, but I personally wouldn’t turn down that offer, got to look after yourself financially.

Best thing to do if you feel you’re being ripped off and seen as a cash cow is not too go. We don’t make any money from taking big away followings, as long as people are going to home games and contributing financially to the club that’s the most important thing. We always take good followings, whic...

Agree 100%.

Let’s hope that the next time we have a sticky patch the knuckles heads that hardly turn up except when they can hurl abuse at someone can act like adults, as we are lucky to have the people with the experience and expertise that we do.

Who cares about what slope gradient Spenny’s pitch is, or what they are doing. Let them get on with what they’re doing and we’ll concentrate on what we are doing. They are of little interest to us and we should be of little interest to them. Hate to say it but some of our fans take the bait insanely...

Warrington Town 2 Kings Lynn Town 3.

Kings Lynn likely to be in National League North next season

There was nothing in that article offensive towards us anyways really, just a lot of our fans are completely rattled by them because they have more resources than us. Can we concentrate on our own club please, let’s get the boost the budget target met/season tickets bought/renewed so that our new ma...

On the eve of the biggest game in their history and talking about us, don’t quite understand it but who really cares. We have had a demise in the fact 10/11 years ago we were a full time professional club in the football league getting double the crowds we do now and were pushing for promotion to Le...

With regards to the club making a quick appointment. I agree. However, the season finished less than two weeks ago, in that time the previous manager has been sacked, job has been been advertised, we’ve had a glut of exceptional applicants apparently, as detailed in the Echo the club have put a very...

The username is @KieranMaguire, if you google the price of football twitter it should come up.

Oldham apparently in dire straights financially, Bury millions in debt losing 50k a week and their fans don’t know if they’ll make it through the summer, Bolton going into administration, Notts County millions in debt and just been relegated, the majority of football league clubs are financial baske...
