Re: Player of the month
Congratulations to Liam Hughes! Well done in carving out a new niche in the team. It shows all Darlo players, that they can go from villain to hero in a very short period. Well done Liam. It also shows there are plenty of fans ready to pass judgement on players before theyve had a chance to settle ...

Re: Darlington v Stockport
Puzzles me how they make training twice a week liveing so far away Well, they finish work around 3pm, meet up to car share (I hope, as we're probably paying their travel) get on the road for 4, by the time they meet and get out of Birmingham, and drive for around 3 hours on a very good day, 4 more ...

Re: Darlington v Bradford (Park Avenue)
as much as my opinions worth its 4-5-1 all day for me. Not exactly radical but solid .More adventurous formations - ESPECIALLY when we are without Wheatley - always seem destined to end in tears.
But howay lads/ - Thommo at wing back? Ainge in midfield?

thought the F.A set the price for cup ties? isnt that why some of the Northern League teams charge more for the preliminary rounds than league games?

Re: Darlington V Alfreton Match Thread
Yep, I don’t think DJ would make any rash decisions either - as a club we need stability. TW deserves a fair few more games yet IMO, we’re not even in a position to even consider replacing TW so early in the season because things aren’t going our way. I still think there’s a lot more to come from t...

Re: TW tactics......again!
No I haven't. However, you would think that there would be a pecking order to his selection of youth players rather than just plucking anyone to place on the bench. Glover for example has come on a few times and I think started a couple of matches last season, he has been held in high regard by TW ...

Re: Martin Gray sacked by York
I wasn't that bothered about his lack of praising the fans when he left. What got me was his insults in the Chorley programme notes just before the YCFC trust vote. He urged people to vote for McGill or York would turn into another Darlington with a 'fan-owned, bucket-rattling mentality'. Then when...

Re: Fancy our chances...?
I remain confident that if we stick to our prudent financial guns then the landscape will change and there will be more set-ups like our own, and clubs like Gateshead who spend beyond their means will have to also cut their cloth accordingly. havent they already had to? - new owners or a massive bu...

Re: Raj Singh Takeover
Hartlepool Council must be a soft touch - this is the second time they have bailed out HUFC in a few months. They must be expecting some income from transfer fees, but will this be the proceeds from a fire-sale at knockdown prices? . No - the council appear to be getting some staggered payments due...
