Darlo Uncovered

There is also only a very small gap between the Blue Square and the Northern League when it comes to class and most teams in the top half of Northern League Div One could easily survive in the Blue Square but are reluctant to take the step up for finance reasons. (Promotion isnt compulsory). Absolu...

It is more than likely we'd get demoted out of the conference altogether to the Evostik if we arranged a CVA that paid pennies in the pound. And we'd still have to pay football creditors fully and of course the administrators, so we'd need at least half a million pounds - for a worthless, loss maki...

Not being funny but if you call the club 1883 Darlington, It will sound like a very bad defeat every time they read out your away results. Hope you don't need to go down this route but if you do, steer clear of the AFC option which is getting very tedious. So, whoever read the results on Sunday sai...

I'm up for that, but can we be called 1. Darlington 1883?

Darlington Town sounds a bit parochial to me. We need to set our sights a bit higher. Darlington City? Darlington Metropolis? Democratic People's Republic of Darlington? ...Team Lazer Explosion? Democratic People's Team Lazer Explosion of the Metropolis of Darlington. It'll all make sense when the ...

I've been viewiing the boards for a number of years now but have never previously felt compelled to post until now. I have always followed and cared deeply about Darlo and have been a season ticket holder for the previous six seasons ( This may not seem like long but i am stilll relatively young co...

Sorry. My mistake! At Palace, Dulwich is one ground i have never been to. The old wooden hut which is now Sainsbury's car park i think acted as the tea bar, bar, and supporters club shop(going back to 1980 though) Can't help you there, I'm afraid! Although, last time I was there, a fox did run onto...

I go to Palace now and again, living not so far away from Selhurst myself. Nice club - much friendlier than my nearest league side. Still rather go to Dulwich if they're at home, though. You can watch the match from the bar. I used to drink in the wooden hut outside the ground. I know it's no longe...

Ah, somehone made the HMHB joke before me. I'll have to fall back on my other reference point, then. I propose, therefore, Darlington Dugald McCarrison FC.

Or Team Lazer Explosion.

I agree. The AFC is a bandwagon, and doesn't even really make sense in the English language.

Post of the crisis, for so many reasons.

Average price in Evo Stik is £8-£10. Better clubs get 200+ at home. Likes if Wakefield and Cammel Laird around 70-100. You can't rely on gate money to fund you. Need either a chairman who will bank roll the club or some big sponsors Yes, but a phoenix club based on a former FL side wouldn't be gett...

While certain clubs in the Evostik (and in other leagues down to Step 6) pull the Crawley/ Fleetwood trick of bankrolling the manager, I think one of the things that happened with both AFC Wimbledon and FCUM is that players were willing to play for less money than they'd get at the relatively wealth...

The way I see it, I'd be cutting off my nose to spite my face by not supporting a phoenix club. 1) I love football 2) I love Darlo 3) I don't give a rat's arse about any other team. There really can only be one outcome. I understand the reasoning behind those who wouldn't get behind a new club, but...

Chester FC drew in 3560 yesterday for their game against Nantwich, in the Northern Premier. Just shows what can be done when everybody gets behind a new club Not having a go but thats chester fc not us, we can't get 2000 for a league game nevermind 3560. They were getting crowds of 500 in the games...

And out come the thick c****............. The same thick c**** who would have moaned about lack of ambition if Singh had cut his cloth.......... The same thick c**** who werent complaining about Singhs expenditure when we signed Hatch, MBW and Walshaw on expensive contracts........... The same thic...

You see, I'd feel a bit embarrassed if a new club did start in the Wearside or Northern League and started dishing out 8-0s all over the place like AFCW and FCUM did. It wouldn't feel proper - I'd be more invested in a struggle. Which is what I think we'll be looking at...

Hawkeye and Superlidds - I come in a spirit of genuine enquiry and not to cause a scrap. I'm just interested to know why you wouldn't be interested in supporting a new club? What makes Darlington FC in its current incarnation a unit if not for the fact that it has a particular body of people support...

Yeah, you've basically got it there. So long as you have a pre-pay balance that matches or exceeds what the equivilent paper travel card would have cost BEFORE you commence travelling (I think this is £7 for a Zone 1+2 off peak now days), the Oyster will cap the amount you spend at this figure, so ...

Could we photoshop pictures of 1990, 1991, and 2011 together - makes it a more general celebration of our (rare) moments of success than a specific reference to the Trophy win.

Either that, or put up the picture of Jamie Chandler and the dog.

Biggest load of shite on this forum Why are they wankers? Surely we are the wankers as we spunk hundreds if not thousands of pounds away each year to watch dross football where we have little to no chance of winning anything. we are morons for doing this and it wouldn't happen in any other industry...

Rocky-that's a great list, reminds me of one of Half Man Half Biscuits tracks the name of which escapes me. the reason I follow this club is just because of what's happened further up the league where local kids have been priced out of watching their club. You only have to walk round liverpool on m...

Where do the leftists (who voted Liebore who part nationalised banks with their statist corporatism) think the money is coming from? It's a fallacy that all 'leftists' vote(d) for Labour. Oh no, I suppose it's tax those evil bankers? Well when business costs go up, who do they pass the costs on to?...

People who defend our right to every little thing and challenge the government at every step drive me mad! Do gooders and liberals who think everyone should be consulted and taken into consideration, even if it is to the detrement of the wider society and blatantly wrong, are what is wrong with thi...

Strangely enough, another shout in this thread for Terminator 2 from me. Most people think this is ironic but I love that film and back it all the way as being genuine classic.
