Darlo Uncovered

What else would you like to see on the BuyDarlo.org site? Further clarity on anything? I think we should get a running total on there if we can. Hi Tori ... I have a thread on the "ask 1883" forum asking for more clarity on this ... my specific questions / concerns are: 1) The crowdcube model was 1...

That was confirmed at the meeting, yes.

Really? Do you know of some magic system to get from Darlington to Shildon that doesn't cost anything?

I should be there tomorrow night.

Ok, so what was a simple to understand model - invest in DFC1883 via CrowdCube - now seems to have so many twists and turns. It would appear that I can put my money into one of 4 (or 5) fan groups - none of which I would say that I have any real affiliation with - or direct in CIC - but as they can'...

nope, nothing. My money is still showing as being invested

No disrespect, but I hope that this site isn't the official Football Club website a) i'll bite. why? b) it won't be. this will continue to be the leading un official site. :thumbup: (although we will try to tie in the official site more closely where possible.) Pretty much like what al_quaker said....

No disrespect, but I hope that this site isn't the official Football Club website

Can I suggest/request that the forum is actually viewable without having to scroll down the page.

The various banners/announcement/twitter feeds means that when coming to the site you don't see anything on the first screen

I've been looking at train times to Shildon, and on a Saturday it would depart Darlington at 12.54, getting in at 1.18. Nothing after this for two hours. On an evening, the train departs at 5.26 arriving 5.44 or leaves at 6.54 getting in at 7.12. Trying to get home be train on a weeknight is virtual...

I'm all for this idea. The football club needs to be at the heart of the community, and as has been seen at the Arena (in previous years not just the last couple) people aren't willing/able to make it to an out of town site. How we could make it work at Blackwell where the parking and public transpo...

A two bit club going out of business with a town that on the whole couldn't care less following a model that will satisfy a few people here and there with a ground where more starlings roost than fans turn up on matchday has the luxury of some fans arranging a fundraising event, typical of DFC they...

Have to agree, it was an enjoyable evening. Well done to everyone concerned.

A reminder that application forms will be available from the Supporters Club table in the Corner Bar tomorrow evening. Fans are invited to take forms for friends and family too. Please pass this info to non MB users. Don't forget the more participants we have, then the greater the prize money. And ...

Nothing to do with the fact that Darlo don't have a match next week?

I am sure there will be a few extra at the RA for this reason.

It's gone beyond doing my head in. We have people starting to pick at the total and saying we're not going to raise the 500k on the evidence of the crowdcube total, which is not a true reflection because of other fundraising yet to be added. I just cannot understand how or why the cash shares from ...

And the pathertic question of the day award goes to... Of course we haven't stopped trying! We are arranging to: 1. Book the Dolphin Centre space 2. Waiting to hear back from volunteers who are either off work or are willing to take time off to man it 3. Arrange with the club for a supply of ticket...

Normally, only shareholders that hold more than a certain percentage of a company have to declare their interest or be identifiable. Full details would be available from Companies House for a fee once the shares have been issued, but I would not expect CrowdCube to disclose this information at this ...

Was a honour to meet Andy and LincolnshireDarlo yesterday.

Nice gesture, but £10 postage!! Really??

Admin, PC stuff (CRB checked)

There is a meeting at the Dolphin Centre on Thursday, I suggest that anyone who wants a place on the Trust board or who wants to be involved in the running in some way makes sure they are signed up for the Trust and attends. I found this out as after joining the Trust last week I mailed them to off...

Well said, that man.

You are joking? I find the Gazette to be negative and confrontational in it's Darlo reporting

TBF, he was going off the advice of his manager. It's just a shame that some of that advice may not have been in the clubs best interest.

Things were looking fair at the club in the summer, so I can understand why Singh wouldn't have wanted to sell at the time. Who was to know at the time that we would be in this mess now (aside from the fact that these things always seem to happen to Darlo) Life is full of What/Ifs, and hindsight is ...

It's not really anything to do with hindsight . . . it's more about being realistic wondering what those well known Darlo fans George Reynolds, Stewart Davies, George Houghton and Raj Singh were doing at the club. It's more about being cautious regarding successive chairmen's intentions. Not really...
