Darlo Uncovered

As you seem to know...... can you confirm that the plans being looked at as alternatives would be for Darlington to drop into the Evo-Stik Northern Premier and not the Evo-Stik Division One North? WHOA WHOA ...Northern premier division 1 north WTF :thumbdown: 4 i repeat 4 divisions from the football...

fully agree Spyman, all I asked was when the deal is agreed, will people be given the opportunity to review the condition as I have said previously, it is just a simple question so that we have transparency you just have to look at the reaction re the trust money to see what happens when things are ...

having been involved in many then it all depends on the deal etc, the approach depends on who you are dealing with/culture etc etc eg the approach would be different for dealing with an American Firm/Japanese Firm/German Firm etc etc Approach often also depends on whether you are willing to walk to ...

It is not anxiety at all The whole fact that clauses are being discussed/counter offered is true, it is not speculative. 'Delicately negotiated', it is a business deal ffs,not middle east peace talks. Raj has requested two clauses, 1883 need to decide whether they are acceptable ie what effect accep...

that people may or may not know the answer to.... I "invested" in a number of shares as a fan on the understanding that should the target of bewteen £500K and £750K be met, then the football club would be able to move forward as a community run club. It would in effect be starting from scratch, shar...

have sent pm

it was signed at the time, 2005, if it doesn't sell then I will see if I can get Craig to sign it too and then keep it as there seems to be no interest and only sarcy comments. Although will wait until the end of the season as suspect he is a bit busy at the moment! alternatively I could run it thro...

Liddle Testimonial shirt is in the last day of auction and has very little interest which surprised me a little, it has 1 bid of 99p so far! Fortunately the other shirts and the picture are selling and so thats at least 1 extra share for the club. Rooting around last night I found a few copies of th...

Friendly Bump

Hoping to be able to get at least one share, possibly more from the sale of these

Cheers

Scott - Hopefully it is ok to add this to the board, I am selling some of my Darlo memorabilia to raise funds to buy some more shares in the club. I have listed 3 items but I when in ebay you look at sellers other items there are 3 further shirts. Hoping that the Liddle Testimonial Shirt raises a de...

Would be nice to know what smaller businesses could do, how thy could club together to buy a share?

Not all businesses can afford to give 10k but maybe could club together to give 1-3k each perhaps

Smaller businesses semm to have been forgotten about in this 'let's get the community together'

As someone who is able to make a reasonable contribution to a rescue fund, as are others I don't think the questions that I asked are unreasonable I don't expect minute by minute updates, I don't claim to be a financial expert, But if you are asking businesses to pledge 10k then you should expect a ...

In some ways patient yes, but you cannot expect business to pledge figures of 10k when basic answers to basic questions have not been received, you cannot expect people to pledge more money when the money they have already handed over seems to be just disappearing into black hole

Think before anyone donates anymore hard earned cash then the following direct questions need to be answered 1. What the 50k in January actually covered? 2. How much was generated from the 2 home games? 3. What did that money go towards? 4. What is the exact figure needed to take the club out of adm...

On a different thread, the game is not yet confirmed to go ahed

I agree Markodarlo, from my perspective it was just an idea, in terms of organising I think the Trust should be heavily involved if not leading it as they are to be the hub of this community club aren't they? Contributions from all those you mentioned too

This issue raises a pretty decent point 1. We are being asked to donate to save the club, but no-one knows what the money is actually being used for, how much is needed, by when etc etc, there is no clear defined plan, if I donated xxxxx pounds to the trust today, what would happen to that money if ...

Why end of June, season finishes at end of April doesn't it?

Do we have to commit to more than one month initially?

That's it bedale that's the idea, local bands, local celebs from the area with Darlington roots, anyone with celeb connections get them there for meet and greet with the community , the day is to celebrate and promote Darlington as a town, a community, the arena is just the venue, with one of the ev...

Wonder if we I'll ever find out any of the cost details 1. What the 50k in January actually covered? 2. How much was generated from the 2 home games? 3. What did that money go towards? 4. What is the exact figure needed to take the club out of admin? 5. What is the cost to get us to the end of the s...

Those are the kind of lines I was thinking along, engage the Darlington community to feel part of something more than just the club, be part of something special, the starting block that will lead to better facilities/events that they could be involved in, It's not just about benefiting the club, it...

Was only an idea thats all, was kind of hoping that is there is plenty of time between now and then it may help people to organise themselves and give them chance to put ticket money aside, I know a fair few people who couldn't make the last two home games due to prior commitments etc Example, I am ...

Was typing message at same time, anyone know how to get in touch with stod or lidds to find out what we need?

Need to know how much he needs ?

One off non contract match fee? Enough to cover a month?

What about Akpo Sodje recently released?

Sat 3rd March we play Stockport at home I know people have spoken about a fans united day with fans from other clubs but what about a 'town' day at the club, it is the townsfolk we need to re-engage with Let's target a 10k crowd of people fom the town Set the target now, get the tickets sorted, have...

How much were season tickets this year? What does that equate to per game ? Form memory is it about £12? That is in the realms of what people were talking about in terms of a reasonable more affordable cost per games rather than 18 So the real way forward would be to push more season tickets at the ...

Fully understand what you are saying uncovered, if not having the sites integrated perhaps aiding the Trust with their site is the way forward, showing them how to add a message board etc Agree that it is vital as an overall picture we are under one umbrella, cards on the table I am still very scept...

The Trust are not very good at communicating

This site is a very good way for fans to communicate

Is there a way for the two to be linked?

As people keep saying, we need to be as one, is there anyway of integrating the two sites?

If the goal is a community club then surely all the fundraising has to come from the community of Darlington doesn't it?

Ie local businesses and the people of Darlington and surrounding area

Will be interesting to see the actual plan of how much is needed and by when?
