I don't think our fans are *that* fickle that an away loss reduces the gate by around 30%.

When I saw the length of the grass I was going to question MG's team selection but.........................good job I kept my big mouth shut! Seriously good reaction after last Saturday, well played lads.

Much, much smaller away following in comparison to teams like Stockport, Kiddy, Boston etc.

To put today's gate into context (again after being dumped out of the FA Cup):

19/09/15: Darlington FC 2-3 Hyde United (1,047)

Will definitely take gates being c200 up at this stage of the season, given the trend is for gates to fall season by season for clubs that play out of town!

Add the effects of ugly football that was being played before today, with key players being missing and a dash of weather and people voted with their feet.

The prospects for promotion look a lot brighter when a weakened Darlo team can win by a margin, with a return to considered passing and movement rather than route one haste.

I didn't see much difference with how we played today with how we've played under Gray since 2012: get it forwards quickly, and then if/when winning we start passing it around.

Pretty decent performance. Falkingham looks a very good signing. Breaks most things up, and keeps things simple. Mind, Stalybridge were pretty awful.

Re the crowd, along with the increased away followings, another thing to consider is that Kidderminster and Stcokport are names people are familiar with. Still a decent crowd.

About the game, easy win could have been by more. They might have had a red when their lad went through the back of Portas on the stroke of half time, who went off injured. Too far away from the Scott incident to see what really happened. Their no 10, after getting a daft yellow for deliberate handball, then scythed down Marrs late and an easy decision for the ref.
Thommo was superb, excellent cross for the first and a great goal. Hardy was a close 2nd mind, almost had a hat-trick but for a goal-line clearance.

[LoidLucan]

The tackle that took Portas out was calculated and disgraceful. It was satisfying to see the lads pick them apart and they were second best for virtually the entire game. A good win and a solid display despite the enforced changes before and during the game.

The difference was the balls forward had a purpose and an intended target that wasn't Mark Beck 90% of the time
