Darlo Uncovered

My patience is definitely wearing thin if he's contracted for next season. If that's the case it's a ridiculous decision. Had he come in fit, playing regularly and scoring goals that would put a different slant on it.

I agree that with hindsight this signing was daft but he's on a contract and if he's genuinely injured why would we play him. We have no idea what he's like around the team, how motivated he is or how good he might be.

I'm sure we'll get a better tune out of him than Asante!

Well the preview says Asante is expected to be fit but more worryingly Barrow has been ill. At least there's a thorough list of who's injured/ill/on loan. If only our strikers could strike....

A bit like Cardiff turning up when we were at Aston Villa!!

As the game was off we watched a fiesty and enjoyable 2-1 win at South Liverpool. Anyone else go to a game?

Maybe they're short of players at the back. He's not been playing and I don't think being on the bench is "frozen out". Hopefully he'll get some game time and come back ready to challenge for his place?

What an absolutely fantastic effort!! So proud of our fan base, regulars and irregulars alike. Considering the calendar year we've had and the concerns we'd "stalled" at 16k it's brilliant. Over to you Mr Watson-spend it wisely and now you know what fan owned really means.

I absolve you from any liability. Its all on me! It's Buxton at Blackwell, couldn't do Hereford. My youngest has watched Darlo for over 30 years but it's his first trip to Blackwell Meadows and only my second.

Looking forward to it!

Thanks for this. We've decided to make a rare trip to a home game v Hereford. I accidentally paid for 6 return tickets (I wanted 3) that were £12. I just couldn't remove them so now we're asking our mates to be glory hunters for a day!

That's even better than the Persil tokens we had back in the day!!

He was a fantastic keeper. Hicker from the Midlands sponsored him. Used to meet up with him regularly and we travelled to Carlisle away together. Andy left him tickets for the game. Not seen him for many years.

But Tino Asprilla will never be bettered!!

When Nelson came back at Fylde he was superb. I wonder if Watson can get him back on song?

Yes, same here in kindle fire and mobile.

I read the preview for Southport. No mention of Siddik or Ngandu so we wondered why they'd been left out. Now I read re Tamworth that Siddik will have a fitness test on a knee injury and Ngandu is back from illness. It's not that difficult is it?

I too was impressed with Watson's responses not pulling any punches and honest. Asante, Nelson, Curry (and Hazel) can run around all they want but if the build up and creativity isn't there we're not going to score goals. It's not an uphill task, it's mountainous but we won't give up on them will we?

Personally I couldn't fault the effort and the two goals were both because they were first to the ball after they hit the woodwork. Well done to the 78 travellers and good to catch up with the usual suspects. Mr Watson certainly has his work cut out. How did that ball stay out during the goalmouth s...

Only if you find Oasis uninspiring! Personally I found them most enjoyable. Hope you long distance travellers have brought numerous layers. It's Baltic over here.

Chris Stockdale sorted the site. I've mailed him about twitter/x too. Any more requests?!

I've emailed the club. Totally agree. It's a lost opportunity..

Decent saving on pre booked tickets for tomorrow night. If we all chucked it in to BtB could be a few hundred quid?

Great start! Looking forward to Southport now. Preview said Griffiths is ill.

Presumably it's because it's fa cup day. I think you're misreading that email and the last paragraph related only to today's game.

Yes, I don't want the amounts just to know where we stand.

Well done Rob and co. Hopefully you made a decent amount for your efforts. I didn't think the tickets were in sequence as one of mine was 9,884,288,466. If you'd sold that many we'd be building a great stadium and be on target for Europe!!!

I'm struggling with not knowing what we're paying out and to who. We "parted company" with Gowling but was that mutual, was there a clause in his contract or is he getting a pay out? Likewise is Armstrong getting his full salary for the year? Is Asante really on a grand a week and not even on the pi...

Try to behave reasonably. No need for that.

Well said Dodger. After all OUR efforts I think I'd find it impossible to walk away. Like many of you I've been up to the old third division and right down to the Northern league and whilst I've not loved every minute it's been a brilliant journey and I've met some great people along the way. It's f...
