I hope we are getting some kind of fee from them then?poppyfield wrote:No York then, not bothered.
Re: Pre-Season Friendlies announced
Good thing we play York in the league eh
Hope York are sending us a few grand to honour the agreement though.
Oh and what a great line up. Some guaranteed big crowds there I would expect!

Echo that some very good friendlies there. Leeds and Motherwell are a nice change. Curtis Main and Ryan Bowman to return to Darlo.H1987 wrote:Good thing we play York in the league eh

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies announced
I wonder if they had any involvement in lining them up. Main played with Wright for a little while from what I remember.JE93 wrote:Echo that some very good friendlies there.

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.
Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies announced
Some interesting pre-season matches lined up - obviously Eindhoven away but Motherwell too should be good.
Been a while since we've had so many home friendlies! I wonder if there will be some sort of multi-buy ticket

I'd hope so, some of those games are quite appealing and will be well attended in my opinion.al_quaker wrote:I wonder if there will be some sort of multi-buy ticket

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies announced
Is Sunderland the 1st team or a select XI? The article appears to suggest both.

Now is not the time to cry
Now’s the time to find out why
I think you’re the same as me
We’ll see things they’ll never see
Darlo’s going to live forever!

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies announced
Never saw why we agreed the York friendly (away) as any sort of compo for Gray. I Would not have gone there on principle!

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies announced
Could be a good idea / way to guarantee a good attendance of home fans.

Alun's promise to the fans: “I’ll make sure I’ll bring players in that are value for money and I want players that want to play for Darlington Football Club, want to progress and move up the league and show the fans that passion.”

It'll depend if we are playing their first teams or a youth/reserve team.H1987 wrote:Could be a good idea / way to guarantee a good attendance of home fans.

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies announced
What is going on with this friendly?? I don't intend to go and I was far from happy about why it was agreed in the first place, but agreed it was.Allan Quatermain wrote:It was in lieu of compensation for MG.AndyPark wrote:Sure it was for the David Ferguson transfer.jjljks wrote:Never saw why we agreed the York friendly (away) as any sort of compo for Gray.

It should of been a way of us getting a little something back from YCFC re the underhand and shabby way in which they tapped up M.G.
We can't afford to let go of this income, so what is going on?

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies announced
Spoke to a couple of York fans today whilst working in York. They state that the friendly would only take place if York were promoted so not in the same league.

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies announced
Thanks for that darlocity. In a way I'm glad it's not going to happen - but on saying that they've kind of screwed us over again!

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies announced
What income? A friendly against York would have generated next to no revenue. Wouldn't exactly be a money-spinner - a friendly against a side we'll play at least twice anyway.theoriginalfatcat wrote: We can't afford to let go of this income, so what is going on?
So I (and evidently the club) think it can do without this income.
And with all the bad feeling towards MG it would be a total wet fart of a game anyway. The only people who'd look forward to it would have been the MG obsessives who can't let go.
Ultimately, very few people give a stuff anyway, so spare us another York/MG-related whingefest and let's look ahead to one of the freshest pre-seasons we've had in a while. Our annual trips to Whitby and Gateshead were getting a bit repetitive and monotonous.
