Darlo Uncovered

It's also clear there's been a groundswell of anger from many clubs against the NL governance. DJ expecting changes up top there and legal challenges afoot by some clubs. Yes - that bit was of particular interest to me. Because of the League's uselessness we have maybe lost £100K and D.J. said the ...

Furlough now extended. Details on March 3rd.

Stand by for legal action instigated by Dorking and friends.

Can’t wait for his next video. Guaranteed to mention commercial partners, integrity, the north, big clubs giving up, easy option, fluid situation, legal action etc

I think he watches Wall Street on repeat

I didn't say they couldn't use the word 'integrity'. My point still stands. The inanimate object needs to find some humility. And Boston, even though it is a non-sentient entity, should not be so desperate to go for promotion. That's what led the club to do what it did in the not too distant past. T...

Oh my god. How utterly pointless. You know exactly what I mean. You call Gramps out for arguing then you argue just for the sake of it.

I never said that he was linked. I said that as a club they are the last to lecture others about morals, and clearly that episode has not given them any humility.

We could recommend Spen?

He'd be looking for accommodation and travel expenses.

Surely Uncle Brad would see him alright?

Why would he though? He doesn't actually invest in Spennymoor. All their money comes from sponsorship deals.

You're right Gramps. Only 2 sides of their ground complete. Their chairman has an extreme cheek in lecturing other clubs about integrity when they were so desperate to get promoted to the Football League that they cheated. Now the same appears to be happening again in terms of being desperate for pr...

Even if they do sort out this situation, they can't walk all over business rules of trading insolvent. Just let it go NL.

I do hope when supporters are allowed back in grounds that our fans will give hell to the likes of Fylde, Gloucester, Boston and York. We don't usually miss a trick and our voices will be rested after months of not being at matches.

Yeah, I'd forgotten that. Even better then. We need to get the message out for as many people as possible to stream these games. I'm sure we'll also be helped out by Fylde's vast army of supporters logging on too.

At least we don't have a long away game for some time. 3 home games, including the FAT tie and Spenny away. We'll still lose money, but less.

This smacks of increasing desperation by the NL. It's like a teacher who has lost control dishing out class punishments. I honestly think that now teams could do what they wish without impunity. Dulwich have exposed the Catch 22 nature of the NL rules. Another person on that thread replies 'So which...

I can see more and more clubs taking matters into their own hands and refusing to play. Given that, correctly or not, the DCMS has made it clear that the NL is to blame, their integrity has gone and I think that any punishments meted out by the NL for clubs refusing to play would not be successful, ...

A York fan today.... "I really do think that the league should be cancelled now, it has become a farce. However, until a decision is reached i do believe that clubs opting out of games should forfeit the win and three points allocated to the other team. As for Darlington playing in the cup one day ...

“I am in particular disagreement that the executive appears to be encouraging clubs to take large loans to complete the season, as I have said twice at board meetings I believe that the competition rules are being broken by allowing the proposed loans, let alone encouraging them. (Page 155 Appendic...

I feel as a football fan a complete disconnect between the laws and football supporters which should not happen. Rule changes and referees seem to be some sort of secret society where football laws and rules are on a need to know basis. Even managers and players seem to have little idea. Look at rug...

Good news in the short term. However, this sort of injury can be problematic long term. Once the knee joint is unstable dislocation often recurs until surgery is required in many cases. We've had enough bad luck so let's hope this is one where it fully settles down.

You forgot Wilson Kneeshaw.

By all that was happening looked like a dislocated kneecap, and at worst a Sam Muggleton type injury.

So close to 3.

OK, so lo you're playing Devil's Advocate here, and semantically you're right. The competition rules aren't illegal, nor has someone literally got a loaded gun at our heads forcing us to play. However, the NL have a metaphorical one. If we don't play we don't satisfy the competition rules, therefore...

Why?

So you're agreeing with me. Somewhere in there you said it's illegal for us to take on the debt. Glad that's sorted.

Their manager has just resigned. Swindon Mark 2.

To me the big question is what happens if the league tries to force clubs against their will to take out loans? There's been a lot of balls up and unfairness with this issue but leaving that to one side surely forcing us to play when we can't make any money is wrong in so many ways, and of course c...

12 NLN clubs and 2 NLS including ourselves have now written to the League. That's a good start. If the 12 NLN clubs at least refuse to carry on after the 5th then will they expel 12 clubs? A good start at least.

Interesting that the official website on rearranging the Chorley game says 'Should we restart playing#.

So the NL may eventually have to try and punish clubs for doing something which breaks business laws?
