Re: Spennymoor v Bromley @ Blackwell Meadows
Great if it happens, but with all this heavy rain today, I'd be surprised if our pitch is any better than your's!

In which case, Bromley get another home tie on Saturday
Re: Spennymoor v Bromley @ Blackwell Meadows
Be nice for BM to host the later stages of a cup competition for once If it's even on - the pitch wasn't great on Saturday as it was.
I wonder if this is anything to do with DFC though - it's DRFCs facility (although our stands would be needed)

Re: Spennymoor v Bromley @ Blackwell Meadows
Don't get this. The game should have been pro-actively re-arranged ages ago with the FA stepping in. And should probably have been scheduled for New Ferens Park, Durham. This is a ground which is elligible to host an FA Trophy match (it's not a league game), and is far less at the mercy of the weather due to the playing surface.
Having said that, happy to see clubs helping each other out. Hopefully the football club and the rugby club have both been in agreement with this. It's the rugby club who have to staff and prepare the ground, but it's the football club who have funded the development to make this even feasible...and that's before considering the impact to the pitch.
Hopefully Spenny can push through and beat Bromley.

Re: Spennymoor v Bromley @ Blackwell Meadows
Really can't see BM being playable after the constant rain all day Monday. Would have been nice to reciprocate some of the kindness shown to us by Spenny in the early days of the 'rebirth', but think that another trip to Bromley on Saturday would be more likely. Ferens Park would have been a better and more sensible option, but I despair of the FA being able to show any common sense.

Er, and our pitch drainage.al_quaker wrote:Be nice for BM to host the later stages of a cup competition for once If it's even on - the pitch wasn't great on Saturday as it was.

Without that, it would be a bog.
Damn right they should be thanking Darlington FC rather than DRFC.
Re: Spennymoor v Bromley @ Blackwell Meadows
Might be a reasonable crowd as a few of our fans, including me, may venture along as well. Come on..... ???????
Re: Spennymoor v Bromley @ Blackwell Meadows
Well yes - although the rugby club bought the pump which assists with drainage.Quakerz wrote:Er, and our pitch drainage.al_quaker wrote:Be nice for BM to host the later stages of a cup competition for once If it's even on - the pitch wasn't great on Saturday as it was.

Thinking about it I guess both DFC and DRFC would have to agree for events like this to happen.

Re: Spennymoor v Bromley @ Blackwell Meadows
Still tipping it down, I'd be amazed if there wasn't a very early inspection, which won't give the pitch long to recover. What happens if the game is called off, will you play the replay on Saturday, when the first leg of the semi-final should have taken place?

I'd be amazed if our "Licence to Play" at BM included any Cup games! Only joking great to see DFC & Rugby Club helping out Spenny.al_quaker wrote:Be nice for BM to host the later stages of a cup competition for once If it's even on - the pitch wasn't great on Saturday as it was.

Re: Spennymoor v Bromley @ Blackwell Meadows
Replay would then be on Saturday but back at Hayes Lane, Bromley, which is crazy considering we have earned the right to play it at home. But I'm guessing the Semi Final First Leg would then be played midweek next week as the Second Leg is on the 24th.Darlo_Pete wrote:Still tipping it down, I'd be amazed if there wasn't a very early inspection, which won't give the pitch long to recover.

Brilliant of Darlington to lend us the ground for the evening though Let's hope it is on and passes initial inspection in the morning

Re: Spennymoor v Bromley @ Blackwell Meadows
Good to help Spenny out but based on the pitch Saturday its going to be interesting v North Ferriby

Re: Spennymoor v Bromley @ Blackwell Meadows
Surprised they have not moved this game to Bishop - that pitch always held up weather wise.

Yawn,
I asked a question about cashflows and banking money for future periods in the current period.
Basic accounting question.
I did not say Darlington are or are not cash strapped.
There is a huge difference between asking a question and making a claim about something. The same question applies to all football clubs (and businesses) that seek to get money for a future period in the current period.
Why deliberately turn a post praising co operation between local clubs into an argument?
Re: Spennymoor v Bromley @ Blackwell Meadows
You openly implied that we must be cash strapped for doing an early bird season ticket. Spenny must be cash strapped otherwise brad would have to keep chucking more money at it in that case.spen666 wrote:loan_star wrote:I'm surprised you haven't been on Facebook claiming that it must show Darlo are cash strapped by letting Spenny use the ground.spen666 wrote:https://spennymoortownfc.co.uk/fa-troph ... ley-moved/

Carry on trying to incite arguments instead of being sensible like the 2 clubs and cooperating for mutual benefit
Re: Spennymoor v Bromley @ Blackwell Meadows
Game On - the drainage work done in the summer by the football ( and rugby?) club(s) has proved to be effective.

Hope to see a few of you getting your Wednesday night football fix at Blackwell Meadows.
Wonder if those who are such good keyboard warriors on here will have the courage to say anything to me tonight?

Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.
