Tonight's Result

Boston Utd 3 Chorley 1.

Good result for us in terms of Chorley, who've now only taken 1 point from the last possible 6, and have conceded 6 goals in those 2 games.

Warning for Saturday as well, going to be a tough game, great result for Boston.

Re: Club accounts

As has been said before, going up is not a top priority, the team we have is not good enough to go up, as proved by 2 wins in the last 11 games. Not me being negative, just realistic. We're not a bad side, but we are lacking in key areas at the moment and it is costing us. It was imperative that we ...

Re: The home of DFC

Re: Stephen Thompson

Few eyebrows raised when we paid money for him when we were in the Northern League, but it has been money well spent in my opinion. When he is on it even at this level he looks a very good player, and has taken each step up in his stride. Same with Galbraith, transfer fee paid for him when we were i...

Re: Constructive views on the Blackwell experience

As for Blackwell, we all know it's basic, and is currently designed to do what we need it to do for the short...

Re: Marine v Darlington Match Thread

People stating Hunter should be put back at right back is baffling. We have finally signed a right back in Liam Marrs who has been outstanding this season. Probably our most consistant defender and at least a 7/10 each game regardless of how the team play. He is definitely not the main problem we ha...

Re: the 500 club

If it wasn't for the 500 club members buying 5 year season tickets and spending large amounts of monies doing so, Blackwell most likely wouldn't be happening.

So I, and most other Darlo fans will be eternally greatful for what they did, and I won't feel like any resentment towards them.

Great way to guarantee your ticket for the homecoming game.

And also for the club to increase it's season ticket holder numbers, and create an extra revenue stream midway through the season.

Re: blackwell meadows

The home game against Salford on Saturday 3rd December is the game the club are targeting as the first game back at home.

Suppose it all depends how the contractors are doing. If they are on schedule then that is the game that has been targeted as being the first game back in Darlo.

Gateshead were seriously interested in Galbraith at one point, but for whatever reason, and thankfully for us, it didn't come off.

What a great signing, and a statement of intent from the club. Reading on Gatesheads fans forum, reaction on Twitter etc, they can't believe he has dropped down a league.
