16 year old to captain Darlo
Another academy publicity stunt to attract kids for next year, lets get back to the serious business of getting a win at BM instead of crass headlines

Re: 16 year old to captain Darlo
Well, considering some of the comments on here about this season's captains and lack of motivating/setting an example maybe he should be given a chance before we have a go at him? He already has a captain's role so perhaps he'll do well. Walcott played for England at just 17 so let's wait and see.

Of course it is a publicity stunt to attract kids to the academy, but what's wrong with that.eddie-rowles wrote:Another academy publicity stunt to attract kids for next year, lets get back to the serious business of getting a win at BM instead of crass headlines

It has no bearing on league matches and gaining a win a B.M.

Re: 16 year old to captain Darlo
It is certainly a refreshingly innovative idea to have someone other than a forward to captain the side. Perhaps TW will take heed of this if such radical thinking comes off.

It's the Durham Challenge Cup - if we start caring about that we truly have reached tinpot status

I feel sorry for the young lad , as with the squad we have chosen we are going to get stuffed.

The squad.
Hall, Maddison, Trotman, Banks, O’Hanlon, Lycett, Burn, Galbraith, Hoare, Stansfield, Glover, Lingthep, Henshall, Nicholson, Morrison, Thompson, Saunders.
Got to agree we will get steam rolled
Still going to watch though, it will be interesting to see how the young lads get on, I have watched them they are very quick and confident.
Help get the club back to Darlo by helping to spread the word about the "Back to Darlo!" fund. The image on the right will be constantly updated with the latest total so please feel free to use the image link below the thermometer on your own signatures, blogs, websites, etc. | Image link: http://www.mydarlo.co.uk/img/BTD-therm-350x100.jpg |
Re: 16 year old to captain Darlo
Yes I will be going down tonight as well. Hope the young lads do well but watched Stockton video's there not a bad team and shoot on sight, usually on target as well. Let's hope we have not wound them up by them thinking we have dis respected them by playing a 16 year old captain.
Wonder what training the players not selected will be doing?

Re: 16 year old to captain Darlo
Stockton are my local team and I watch them when Darlo are not playing. They’re a very good NL side and play decent football on their 3G pitch.
Kev Hayes on the left wing is the one to watch. Very skilful player with good pace. Got a dream move to Spennymoor in the summer but it didn’t work out so he’s back at Stockton.
You’ll recognise me at the game. I’ll be the one with two scarves

Re: 16 year old to captain Darlo
Funnily enough I did email Darlo about him last year. No idea if they had a look at him. Spenny forked out £10k for him last summer

If we go and win it the cumulative prize money, given a decent gate for,the final, will be around 2 grand. Better than a kick in the bollocks.

Re: 16 year old to captain Darlo
Got to say that’s one of best first half performances by a Darlo team in a while
Re: 16 year old to captain Darlo
Great stuff. Contract extension for Tommy in April. Who's with me?
Re: 16 year old to captain Darlo
Nicholson playing really well, arguably our best player this season.

Re: 16 year old to captain Darlo
Stockton are looking much the better team in the second half.
