Re: View from the Board/DJ
Just watched video my take on it was thank god we have stayed up as it looked like DJ might have thrown the towel in. Also be interesting if we get to see his report as owners I’d like to think we would. Some good questions by fans who attended.

Re: Darlington v Farsley 13/04/24

Re: When Watson and Mitchell took over…
They have done tremendous work, got another 3 friends who don’t normally come to matches coming on Saturday. Just hope there’s not a pitch invasion if we win as will likely get a hefty fine.

Re: Darlington V Chorley
A series of increasingly poor decisions have got us to this point. Not backing Armstrong when Beck left, keeping Armstrong after the poor end to last season, inexplicably hiring Gowling over Watson / Lakeland, letting him sign a million kids, signing assante, and allowing Gowling to stay after Chor...

Re: What's the point of fan ownership?
Second best idea lots of land and council owned land around it, first choice however would be to go back to the Arena which is a proper Football stadium I know this has been discounted but things change. Don’t shoot me down and don’t want to start an argument on the Arena as it’s boring.

Re: What's the point of fan ownership?
Def think some banked standing at the way end would really help possibly something we can take with us if we move.
Have to get the RC onside though and that’s the hard job but people views do change.

Re: What's the point of fan ownership?
Focus for now is to stay up and if we do can focus on IMO helpful questions raised by CC. As fan owned the only way we can move on is people through the gate, a potential cup run and more difficult more commercial revenue and sponsorship. Asking more BTB is more problematic as I think we have reache...

Re: 2022/23 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Financial results have been very similar over last 7/8 years bar a cup run or Covid help. This years finances will look even worse having to pay for Armstrong’s contract and no cup revenue. Not sure how we get out of it TBH except more through the gate on match days - be interesting to see crowd num...

The only relevant point is this posters reasoning for the post. He's trying to stir up trouble.

Re: What's the point of fan ownership?
At first, I thought it was rather a long winded read from the usual suspects but reading it in full and seeing the guy was actually on the DFCSG board, I thought it was a very good read and raised some good relevant points. Like Darlopartisan it would be great if he rejoined the board as he obviousl...

It’s been flicking for months why can’t the RC or DFC sort it out, it’s a basic housekeeping thing.

Re: Reset
The issue I have with being relegated to the NPL isn’t so much playing at a lower standard, it’s the financial implications of being relegated: • We will lose £40k+ of central funding from the National League • x2 less home games = less revenue • Reduced away followings = less revenue • No National...

It's been a perfect storm of problems made worse by J.G. - it would seem he is the Liz Truss of Darlington football Club.

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll
Think we are going around in circles here. Ultimately, Armstrong is responsible for his failures, Gowling for his. Decision makers should be responsible for theirs.

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll
If we go down and it’s looking very likely now than any talk about a new stadium is nonsense, Blackwell will be quite adequate with lower crowds and far less away fans and reduced commercial revenue.

Steve might be able to push us three places up the table, it's possible, but if we go down the ramifications could mean trouble. I'm thinking; Board resignations? Watson leaving? A possible attempted coup by Gray :o If we go down both boards need to take full responsibility for this and heads shoul...

Torrential rain tonight, I'd be very surprised if the game goes ahead. It's also forecasting winds in excess of 50mph around 9pm.
