Re: first match back home

This is a no brainer, the Supporters Group is the route to ensure the fans who cannot afford a season ticket or cannot justify a season ticket will get tickets for the big games. We do not need to invoke any other scheme ie tickets stubs etc. We need to remember that as a fan owned club we need to a...

Re: Antony Sweeney/Gateshead

Spoke to Tez at the end of season bash as Gateshead were being muted as a possible suitor for Galbraith. He was brutally honest and said he would love to play professional and it's on his doorstep but mentioned that they would need to give him in excess of what he currently earns as a postman plus h...

Re: Match thread

Wish we would start Cartman playing off Beck Why??? Carts hasn't hit last season heights yet and I think Hardy deserves his place . I can't disagree I just worry we could frustrate him he is travelling a long way and not getting much game time when Halifax are crying out for him to sign for them. I...

Re: blackwell meadows work !!

Speaking from experience I can honestly say that Blackwell Meadows was our only option. It served a purpose right now and has options to build on the land 3G Astro pitches or our own stadium should we wish to do that however I am sure in time the current solution will feel like home.

Re: blackwell meadows work !!

I wont believe it till actually happens, we've had statements like this for about the last 2 years. To be honest I'm dispointed in this news as that means we will never get in the football league. Before anyone jumps in I'm not saying we have any divine right to be a league club and that we would g...

Re: DFCSG Statement - Friendlies at Darlington Arena

Cannot agree more, I despise the arena because I see it as the symbol for all that was wrong with our club. It was a major part in our downfall due to its huge running costs and I will always associate with Reynolds a time when I couldnt watch anymore. However we are now in a new era as a Fan Owned ...

Re: Brown, Thompson, Galbraith & Hunter sign 2 year deals

Two things for me, firstly great to see so many of the squad tied down on deals. If other clubs do want our players then having them on longer contracts is better for us as we can demand a fee. if those clubs sniffing want the player they have to pay a fee or shop elsewhere either way we win.

Re: Turnbull Hamstring

Re: FCMU interesting read

I think the club becoming a breeding ground for youngsters and selling them on is a given but that's not as easy as we think. Hopefully we can get a few good cup runs and sell the odd youngster plus a good sponsor on board then we can climb again. Just be aware that the fans won't keep turning up £5...

It's £25 to join but this will cover this season and next you don't have to be a previous member to join. However you must join now if you want to contribute. If you join I would guess you need to keep rejoining to keep your shares.
