Blimey we certainly get rough draws, think we'll struggle to make it through to the next round.

Christ!
Re: Harrogate (H)
Dunno about us always getting tough draws. Didn't we get Marine at home last year, only just scrambled a draw and then blew it in the replay?

Blimey talk about giving up before a ball is kicked, lets see who TW brings in this week and how we get on against Tamworth this weekend

To be played on Friday 24th
Hopefully we charge £10 (maximum)
Tough game, but at least it's at home.

Re: Harrogate (H)
Should do buy a ticket for this game and the next home league game for £20 as a bundle and obviously kids and concessions cheaper, Surely this can be a good deal!!!al_quaker wrote:To be played on Friday 24th

Re: Harrogate (H)
Correct, but at that time we were managed by Martin "money" Gray who only seemed interested in himself and promotions - he was blatantly never interested in the cups, even though he knew that good cup runs could potentially bring in additional revenue.LoidLucan wrote:Dunno about us always getting tough draws.

Now we're managed by someone who seems to have some sort of grasp of our current situation as a club and knows the importance of a good cup run. Let's just hope that Tommy can turn out to be a good manager for us.
Maine last year though FFS - we should have walked through that one. Said it all about Gray and cups.

However I think a Friday night game isn't the worst thing (I know it won't work for some) and could be something a bit different.
Club looking to advise on match admission prices, so hopefully the two clubs can agree something that reduces the cost for this game.
Re: Harrogate (H)
I think if we price it right then the Friday night might actually be a worthwhile experiment in any case.
Re: Harrogate (H)
The previous Friday night games have been pretty well attended haven't they? Hopefully with a decent price we can get a reasonable crowd

Re: Harrogate (H)
We could get a result here, Harrogate may feel they have bigger fish to fry.

Re: Harrogate (H)
A Friday night game is an experiment worth trying.

Re: Harrogate (H)
Wonder if Beck comes along?
Re: Harrogate (H)
I know Fridays may not be good to some people but it could certainly attract fans who are involved in local football on Saturdays?

Hopefully a few others will follow you're generous gesture. I still intend going even though I'll miss the first half hour or so.Maurice_Peddelty wrote:I can't make it either so intend to benefit the ground development fundDarlo_Pete wrote:I'm going to struggle to get to this one, as I'm working till 8pm.

Re: Harrogate (H)
Would give a boost if so especially when gate will be shared & no VAT to pay on donations. If I could I would be there so hopefully next round.Darlo_Pete wrote:Hopefully a few others will follow you're generous gesture.

The problem with that is, when do we ever win a cup game?Maurice_Peddelty wrote:Would give a boost if so especially when gate will be shared & no VAT to pay on donations.

"At a meeting held at the Grammar School on Friday last - Mr Phillip Wood M.A., in the chair - it was resolved to form an Association Football Club for Darlington and neighbourhood. The opinions of those present were so unanimous as to the desirability of this step, that a committee was formed to complete the organisation of the club, and Mr Craven, 17, Garden Street, was appointed secretary pro tem." - The Northern Echo, Monday 23rd July 1883

Re: Harrogate (H)
An incredibly laboured performance and the first/last time we saw Jakub Hymr. Almost as elusive as Mendes.
