Could it also be that AA has players lined up, but is unable to announce them until 1st July as they may be contracted till 30th June?

This.

Not for me. He was good in his first spell, but not good enough in the next two.

Joe Wheatley will end up in the league's team of the season.

Great signing for them - I don't know why it went wrong with us but good luck to him.

Gonna stop around the 133/134k mark.

Superb effort.

Nope - it's still going!

Quite unbelievable.

Midweek friendliness are pretty useless propositions for out of towners that rely on public transport.

But good for getting the team prepared for the season - which is what they are all about.

We could actually field a reasonably strong team with those we have right now. Not one that will make the play-offs without some additions, but not one that would be relegated either. Contrast that with our position 12 months ago - a big difference.

Rose now confirmed. Excellent news!

Deleted some of the comments here. A good subject unfortunately derailed slightly

Thank you.

I come on this forum to read and discuss DFC viewpoints. Arguments are part and parcel of that - it makes for interesting debate. But today two threads have been completely ruined by ridiculous arguments that have nothing to do with DFC. For the sake of users who frequent this board to read and disc...

I'm sad to see Cassidy and Wheatley go. Cassidy drew mixed responses from most fans. If you judge him by goals scored then he wasn't a hit, and I guess goals are what most people judge forwards by. But for me his work rate was immense and he brought a different dimension to our team. I don't know wh...

Alfreton have never looked back since we missed those pens. We’ve done the opposite unfortunately. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Interesting to see what they would do if they make the play-offs and win. They had a vote just before we played them to decide whether they should apply for relegati...

Another really worthwhile contribution. Bravo.

And another thread that discusses good news for DFC has been spoiled by childish arguments.

Wonder what is happening with Tyrone O’Neill. Is he injured or just out of favour? Likely to be released by Scunthorpe I would think, but would we be looking to sign him for next season? If he just needs some time to regain full fitness he could be worth taking a chance on, but the memory of Andrew...

Had a fantastic Easter Sunday funday with our massive extended family and hoped this endless tedious thread with banter/insults might have drawn to a close but no, on and on it goes. Anyone else as fed up as me?!!

Yep.

e4sby, what's your beef with ray the guy has done more for Darlington FC than most. No beef at all with Ray, I just think the media side of things would be much improved if he let someone younger help with interviews. It's the small things of reporting/asking questions about injuries/contract lengt...

An interesting note from their chairman in yesterday's programme. He said he had tabled a question through the members structure of the club: Should the club, although solvent with no debts, consider applying for relegation? It seems like it is annual question as part of the club's structure. He wro...

He played the full game today as well.

And a smaller version of the Tin Shed down the side where the Darlo fans congregate!

Really enjoyed that performance tonight. Deserved a victory and should have won by a wider margin. Cassidy was excellent in my opinion. Well taken goal and a handful for their defenders throughout. Exactly the type of performance we were missing when they thumped us at their place. Looking at the r...

Another factor on him going I think is where we are in the League. If we were sitting pretty in the playoffs with a chance of going up I don't think he would have gone. I've just listened to the James Rowe (Fylde manager) after their win at Spenny, and he said he has tried to sign Will in the past ...

Bit of a surprise to say the least but apparently offered fantastic money and a chance to go back full time. Didn’t think for one minute that he would be tempted away for full time football at his age. Just shows you how much money talks and how little loyalty most players have to clubs these days....

I would keep Taylor, Hedley, Smith, Wheater, Ellis, Rose, Hatfield, KDS, Lambert, Mondal , Moke (don't know); like to keep Wheatley and Storey but believe lack of play even when been reasonable in the team they will eventually move on. Lawlor, Thompson and Oneil good signings but can we afford them...

Four wins from five, five games unbeaten, two against sides chasing promotion and clean sheets in the last two games. Just not good enough. Why are we not putting four and five past sides like Fylde and Chorley? It's clear we can't score goals at one end and stop them at the other. And the players j...

Alun out.

Can't believe we only scored twice away from home at one of the league's top teams and failed to keep a clean sheet.

He's not the man to take us forward for the next season.

Lost the dressing room, I tell you. Lost the dressing room, he has.

So we won - an excellent three points and full credit to AA and the team. Have to say that I thought we were never going to win again as AA had put the dressing room somewhere and couldn't find it, the players didn't want to play for him, he hadn't been able to unearth a 30-goal a season striker sin...

He was very scathing about the critics who slagged him off for meeting with Nadine Dorries, saying he would meet with The Monster Raving Loony Party if it furthered the interests of Darlington FC. Exactly. It was embarrassing and maddening reading the comments aimed towards the club and Nadine Dorr...

Glad AA decided against resignation as finding a decent replacement for him mid-season would be a problem.

No reason for him to. It was an awful result, agreed.

Two games earlier we won 6-0 way from home. Nobody was questioning him then.

Do you know that the focus of our appeal was on whether or not an elbow was used? If you do not know and are just speculating, why not assume that the appeal was against any contact by Charman being insignificant or not in contact with the head? Just interested to know if there is a source document...
