Hi - we've got a special interview with David Hodgson on BBC Tees Sport tonight after 6.

Interesting to hear his views on what's happened to ther club plus he speaks
about his efforts to try and get backers on board earlier this year and the frustration of not getting a deal done.

95FM, DAB and online on BBC Tees Sport (6-7pm) tonight.

James

Will it be available tomorrow online, for those exiles unable to hear it live tonight? Unfortunatelt the local library won't stay open late just for me.

I'll definitely be tuning into this one because Hodgy won't care about telling the truth about the actions of Radged Strings.

I know under his pay off from Houghton he had to sign a non disclosure agreement but I doubt that extended to Raj. Also the fact Hodgy appears more vocal at present perhaps the non disclosure has run its time. I'll be tuning in.

Hopefully, it will be explosive.

No doubt BBC Tees will have Raj on the phone like they usually do in anything Darlo related.

Quakerz · Post by **Quakerz** » Mon Jun 18, 2012 5:09 pm

I think it's a recorded interview?

On now...

I could listen to Hodgy all day talking about Darlo - his passion would struggled to be matched, a massive bonus he is involved in 1883

Quakerz · Post by **Quakerz** » Mon Jun 18, 2012 5:43 pm

Part 1 finished, part 2 tomorrow FFS.

Got to agree, I love the passion that comes across when Hodgy speaks about our football club!

Well that was worth waiting for...

Sounds like it was recorded weeks ago.

Very interesting stuff from Hodgy, thanks for the link Ding.

The_Ponderer · Post by **The_Ponderer** » Mon Jun 18, 2012 8:58 pm

Many thanks Ding.

A reet rivetin' listen that was - looking forward to part deux tomorrow!

Will be good having Hodgy on board - his football contacts and PR skills will be an excellent asset.

Perhaps the fact that Hodgy was facilitating the Snow dome deal was the only new thing for me..

theoriginalfatcat · Post by **theoriginalfatcat** » Mon Jun 18, 2012 11:02 pm

The snowdome thing was interesting. I read recently that at the moment about 36 new snowdomes are in the planning stages for the UK. There's 5 open at the moment. Glasgow,Manchester, Milton Keynes,Tamworth and one in Castleford. The point here is that at sometime - one will probably open up in our area, so why not Darlo?

Hodgy said something like this re Singh - - having lost the amount of money he claimed he had, relinquishing that (money) became the stumbling block to deals breaking down - - and he also said something like - - he (Hodgy) wasn't in on any of the meetings about the snowdome /Arena/land, but the snowdome people pulled out as they were not happy with how the business talks were being handled by a certain person.

The previous paragraph is my personal interpretation of what came across.

A long time ago I reached the conclusion that negotiating is not one of Mr Singh's strong points.

Did he say anything exciting?

Yes - he's a real international jet setter these days

No revelations tho he gave Martin Gray a massive thumbs up - said that this is "his time".
Has absolute confidence in him getting us back up the leagues.

Hodgy (Hodjun to some) says he will never be Darlo manager again but will sit on the advisory panel.
Overall he sounded very upbeat about our future and I, for one, am very happy he is on board.

Classic Hodgy, it's as if he's never been away. Full of it.

Do you get the impression he didn't like Dave Penney?

micra3 · Post by **micra3** » Tue Jun 19, 2012 9:19 pm

Also said he will gladly pay to watch us next season.

Shame about this if Gray does well i can see him been headhunted quite quickly obviously other candiates out there and this is something thats very far off at moment

i just hoped (even as unlikely as it was) Hodgy would manage us one last time
