He was far better in Blake’s 7. (One for the oldies that)

Is that anything to do with Robbie Blake

It’s a game we would probably have lost a couple of months ago. They are a big physical team in the Alfreton mould, not a great footballing side but horrible to play against. Well done to our lads for sticking at it and grinding out the win, for a massive 3 points.

This game has all the hallmarks of a massive banana skin to me. There is a sense of real expectancy among the fans, moderate opposition who have a couple of our ex players in their squad, and probably a decent crowd. If we can win our next 2 games we will be very close to pulling off the great escap...

Really enjoyed watching the goals again, and listening to the post match interviews with Terry Mitchell, Matty Cornish and Matty Young. Great to hear that the keeper is enjoying his stint here and is hoping to extend his stay until the end of the season. Well done Stuart Armstrong for asking some pe...

A great night, fans were excellent, both goals taken well. Players are running on fumes and need the break from 2 games a week. Confidence seemed just a little down after Spenny game as we dropped deep after Cornishes goal and gave what should have been easy passes away. We missed Nelson up front t...

Just walked into the ground here, no search at all. And they wonder how people manage to get flares in...

No I wasn’t searched either. Mind you as an old git I probably don’t fit the likely demographic of a flare throwing hooligan.

Some of the supposed fans who turned up and caused trouble on Saturday were not even proper Darlington fans. I remember having a conversation with one of these supposed fans who was off his face on something, asking me, 'How are we doing in the league this year and how many points are we off playof...

https://darlingtonfc.co.uk/news/important-advice-for-fans-travelling-to-blyth-on-tuesday Yep this one individual is now affecting us in more ways of match day experience , not allowed into Blyths club house, got to find a way to find who it is, clubs got to be proactive in measures to find him. Not...

Derby v Forest, Mansfield v Chesterfield, Newcastle v Sunderland to name a few, all in different divisions but still fierce rivals. Your rivals don’t change because you’re in a different division. So for me it will always be Pools If we get relegated we will have a new local rival, as almost certai...

They are not our local rivals. They never have been and never will be. A local rivalry is deep-rooted, historic, cultural, religious, political etc. We share none of that with them despite their desperate efforts to create something. Please don’t pander to them. That is a ridiculous statement. You ...

Tin pot club that aren’t even our local rivals , bless em! Let’s not lose sight, winnable games coming up, let’s get behind the lads for the run in Sorry but by any definition they are local rivals, because they are in the same league as us and are 15 miles up the road. That makes them local and ri...

I see the club have put out something on the official website regarding the throwing of pyrotechnics on to the pitch. Obviously, it is serious if it leads to a fine or other punishments, but I am at a loss to know how the culprit managed to get one into the ground, as everyone was being searched bef...

They were celebrating like they had won the league at the end of the match. I guess they will say it is sour grapes, but honestly I just don’t get the animosity towards us. Obviously we would have celebrated a win, because the 3 points would have been massive for us, but it would be the win that was...

Potentially 8 cup finals coming up between now and the end of the season. Pretty sure if we can win 4 of those games we will be ok.

Defo getting to crunch time. Feels like up to Farsley are in the mix. Can’t let injuries be the killer here … Steve W needs some reinforcements to get us over the line. Is there any of the recent BTB money left ? DJ very quite of late, hopefully work going on behind the scenes regarding the new sta...

Not there today, for anyone that is, I would be interested in if Spenny have improved our allocation of space in the ground? Anyone No just squeezed more fans into the same space. Thought we played well in the first half, but didn’t press home our advantage after we went 1 up. We missed too many ch...

Now up to 730 tickets bought by Darlo fans.

Anyway, on to the match, I'll snap your hands off for a point here. As long as we can follow up by beating Blyth (who are shite) and Peterborough Sports. 7 points from 3 would set us up very nicely for Rushall away. Same, a point would be a decent outcome and set us up nicely for two winnable home ...

650 sold :clap: :clap: Great effort so far, regardless of what’s gone on before the backing this weekend is essential. Makes a mockery of Spenny bringing their usual 100 too us because its the worst away end in the league…pot kettle Personally I hope the full allocation isn't sold out, as 800 in th...

Fascinating for a first post and a link I can't open and interesting that Kali has posted a reply for the first time in three years. Mates or the same person. Suspicious behaviours or maybe genuine? Me too, please enlighten us :roll: The name attached to the link is Lee Kilcran who was at one time ...

According to Darlington FC on X we have sold nearly 500 tickets out of an allocation of 850. So still plenty available, come on Darlo fans snap them up and lets give the lads some massive vocal support on Saturday. I know the views aren’t great and many vowed never to go again after the “Fencegate F...

Watched a video by a Scunthorpe fan and couldn't believe the amount of abuse they were giving their players at the end. They really are very unhappy. I think they that is because they are a full time club with a large fan base, and they feel that success at this level is something they have a right...

I see that the York manager, according to York press, is considering recalling their loans to have a look at them and Barrow was the one mentioned, I hope that doesn't happen because he has been brilliant for us, but they are short of a left footed left back :( And of course they only have around 3...

I know Scunny fans were less than impressed but I thought they were a class above anyone we've played this season which makes our performance and the result even more pleasing. They moved the ball quickly and we were constantly stretched but we managed to deal with everything that came into the box...

This is the most dramatic turnaround in form that I can ever remember in nearly 60 years of watching Darlington. 25 points in 31 games, and lets be honest looking like a bunch of no hopers, to winning 5 out of 6, scoring 16 goals conceding 5, and thrashing the 2nd in the league 4-0. Players like Pla...

Sadly no Rivers or Liddle. I still think a physio update like we had previously would be helpful. I'm ambivalent about Asante but confused as this was from the Curzon preview: Akwasi Asante is out with a groin injury, but he hopes to be back in full training on Thursday. No mention of Moke so presu...

Hope Rivers is fit to play as think he has been excellent since he got back into the squad both when starting and as sub and thought he was playing as well as ever he has on Saturday before injury. Mind you, if him and Liddle remain injured, not sure who will be on the bench. Ngandu hasn’t featured...

I do hope there is special prematch playlist for Jimmy Dean to listen to
Things like Purple Rain, Raindrops Keep Falling on Me, Umbrella etc etc

How about a bit of Travis, “ Why does it always rain on me ”.

Matty is a real little gem, and hats off to Terry Mitchell for bringing him in. There must be a few more like him out there, and I am sure our management team will keep looking to unearth some more.

I once had 24 points and won about a £100 that week they were loads of draws typical never slept all weekend thinking i was going to be rich That was the problem, if there were a lot of draws that week it would only be a low payout. Like you I once got 24 points, but didn’t get a jackpot payout. Al...
