Darlo Uncovered

Darlo_Pete wrote:I'm sure ex-Darlo player Coppinger will be particularly delighted in seeing the hangers get relegated.

He was in our youth squad for a year or so but never played for us. He did however have 2 loan spells at Pools so I suspect he probably has more of an affinity with them than he does with us.

Would it be defeated in a vote? I think so, yes. The way the rules are written makes it very difficult for a Community Benefit Society to change what they are. It wouldn't take much for a small number of members to block the vote and I've heard enough dissenting voices on here and on my Facebook pa...

Nothing to see yet folks, but the club did say we should hear something this week about what the investment will look like, and its Friday. The other thread is up to 10 pages and getting a bit loose, so to concentrate on the proposal use this one please. :thumbup: The statement said "In the coming ...

Darlington FC Supporters Group OUR CLUB - OUR FUTURE - OUR CHOICE Update on Potential Investment Dear Member, We'd like to take this opportunity to update all members of the current progress made in relation to the potential investor who we met with last week. Initial high level aspirations were dis...

Excellent summary Mikky. I know it's not the same thing but Salford's owners appear to have a 50/50 split between Peter Lim and the class of 92. Perhaps this would be possible for us? Didn't MG confirm at the recent forum that anything less than 51% is not workable? Could be wrong but don't think s...

Potential investors http://darlingtonfootballclub.co.uk/32649-2/ Ahhh... In amongst all of the other social media stuff over the last few days I missed this completely. As the content of the discussions is confidential, I would assume we shouldn't be getting informed of the £10k 'sweetener'. So in ...

well at least we dont have anything left to strip Sent from my SM-A310F using Tapatalk Just wondered if potential investors might consider one of our few assets to be the potential sell on of the players that are currently being brought on through the youth and reserve set up at the club. But do DF...

I've been reminding myself of his actions just before & after he put the club into admin. Remember when Singh paid some, but not all (Kris Taylow & Marc BW I think), of the players in Oct/Nov 2011. The ones he didn't think were value for money. Then Singh wanted to renegotiate player contracts othe...

Seems to have deleted it According to companies house, Richard Cook's director position was terminated on Friday. As the investor approached on Monday, and NDA's were signed, he may not know and may just be speculating? Or maybe it's just a joke. I hope so anyway... Another option is that he may ha...

"Also at Friday’s forum we launched a very important fundraising drive but unfortunately it seems to have been completely overshadowed by Martin Gray’s opinions about a change of ownership." Ouch! Another professional statement I see But quite correct. The fundraising announcement has been overshad...

If an offer were to be made by an external investor (or two), I guess one of the questions which would need to be asked is where the funds are coming from. It isn't unheard of for funds to be invested on somebody's behalf by more friendly faces at the negotiating table. Edit: To be clear, this is ju...

The majority of people who are most vocal will want an investor, but this might be misleading. I reckon there are a load of people who want the club to settle at whatever level the club can actually sustain. I'm firmly in the latter category. Been around long enough to see us sold down the river to...

Do you use twitter?

A real, real blow. Thanks for everything over the last year. Fortunately this board, twitter and FB all appear to have been full of competent replacements over the last week or so, particularly for his years of experience in the construction industry. Would hate to be the person having to vet all th...

I get the point your making but I think to say in the event of us being promoted we'd be certain to get pumped week in week out, your doing the current squad and management a disservice. Also with regards to attendance you fail to mention that there would be many sides in the NL who would bring con...

The Arena is NOT an option. It is not worth the long term risk for short term gain, we left for a reason it's gone and certain people need to let it go. You are a fool if you questioned whether the ground is up to Conf North standard. It is up to standard, end of. If it wasn't, we wouldn't have got...

All this ifs and buts ,lets wait until there is a clear definitive statement as to what is to happen regarding the playoffs situation before you posters let loose with theories about this and that.these posts are very unsettling. What will be whichever way it goes maybe for the best.we shall see. I...

I feel for the players and MG. They have done everything they can this season aiming for a promotion and now, due to a cock-up by 'somebody' they may have to be told they're not to get promoted. After MG's very strong assertions after the match Saturday that they are still playing for that promotion...

Or perhaps the conversation has taken place with the League and they're waiting for the League response...

Great Band Of Brothers interview with MG on official site warning the rest we're going for it. Once again it's going to be an exciting end of season and however it ends these players have done fantastically well to rise to the challenge of a new level. If at the start of the season someone had offe...

If it's photos you want then Theresa has already done the honours. I'll get them distributed. Good man, thank you. Sorry to bother you but you are the only person who joined this thread who, like myself, expressed an interest in seeing what the dugout name plaques looked like as there had been no p...

Possibly lose Belly as well as PJ? Financially a good decision if so.

For those who may not check their emails as often as I do: Dear DFCSG Community Shareholder   This is a long overdue update on your investment. Now Darlington Football Club are playing back in Darlington we hope to increase the frequency of this update to at least twice a year.   Your investment hel...

I'd like to think that I have a somewhat balanced take on all of this. Love that the club is actually back playing in Darlington again after five years away (even as someone who was born in Stockton, raised in Eaglescliffe and now lives in Ingleby Barwick...), even better that it's no longer at the...

Of course it should say Darlington FC, welcome to Darlington means nothing whatsoever, sounds like Wilkinson nit picking yet again Sent from my XT1032 using Tapatalk Wilkinson speaks on behalf of the members of DRFC, not from his own point of view. The issues we are having are mainly coming from hi...

I've seen posters for concert on local buses around town. Not interested as it doesn't involve the footie club and I see it as a last effort by the Rugby Club to stay afloat. With DFC paying DRFC's bills and then more rent for 20 years, they shouldn't be going bust. DRFC are also making money from ...

It was explained at the AGM that Hardy was signed with money loaned to the club by a supporter. At the time we had a cash flow problem and could not afford to bring him in. The money was then paid back. So in other words, the deal wasn't cost-neutral as the club claimed at the time. Thanks for clea...

As I typed this Allan Quatermain posted. His benefits are all for the football club and none for the customer. There is no incentive for customers to pay extra unless its a potential sell out game But most people who frequent this board see a benefit to the football club as being a benefit to them ...

Unless there is a potential for a large crowd, would there be many people that would bother buying online and just pay on the gate? Yes they would (I hope) as there are a number of reasons why this is a good idea. *It will speed up entry to the ground, not only when there is a large crowd but at al...
