Re: Once the dust settles...
I don't believe that is the case. My understanding is that DRFC don't want development that would require their clubhouse to be replaced. Which essentially means BM could be developed sufficiently to mean NL standards but not to EFL. *If* we could move the pipe then that gives the full footprint of...

Re: Once the dust settles...
I think what I find frustrating in some of the new stadium discussion is over suitability to play in the football league. It’s pie in the sky when we don’t even look to be in much danger of escaping the national league north (upwards), let alone the level above it! If you're going to build a brand ...

Re: The Bottom Ten, Saturday Apr 13th 2024, Staying Up Edition
Next Saturday will be a good opportunity to give Asante a good 'run out', sorry I mean a good 'wander round the middle of the pitch' out I guess it would be dependent on whether he was contracted for next season or not. If his contract is up then there's literally no point. If his contract is for n...

Re: Well how did we do that?
That for me has been transformed by new additions, Main in particular. Would SW been able to do the same with Felix & Hazel? I personally don’t believe so.

Re: Well how did we do that?
Not me. Main is a better player in nearly every way IMO. His work rate, his thinking, the way he is determined to bundle his way through a defensive block, his team work ethic. Perhaps Hazel was better a placing a shot? But I can't remember. Don't get me wrong, I think Main has been amazing for us....

Re: The Bottom Ten, Saturday Apr 06th 2024
I was just pointing out that we've played worse teams than Farsley at BM.
And sadly (due to Clowning's incompetence) we blobbed them all. I'm not air brushing history for you Old Git. Especially because it gets on your tits.

Re: Darlington v Farsley 13/04/24
We’ve had a few 3-1 wins under Watson. I haven’t done my research, but I’d guess that was the most regular scoreline since he took over. Off the top of my head I can think of 4...plus two 4-0s. It's not just the fact that we've won so many since the dead and buried point (Alfreton home), it's the m...

With the exception of a few, these players were never poor, or any of the other derogatory remarks they were called mid-season.

To be honest, although I was disappointed that Farsley got one back I wasn't too nervous. When they announced 6 minutes additional time and everyone gasped "how is it 6 minutes?" I simply said "6 extra minutes for us to get a 3rd", which we duly and predictably did, after scoring loads of late goals...

I guess most people on here would prefer Blyth to stay up. But personally I think Farsley would be far less of a threat next season and I think Blyth could offer a lot more competition for players in this region, especially if they get this new investor on board. Read the room Pete. I honestly don'...

It's actually P 21 W 12 L 9. You're doing him over there like. What makes it all the more unbelievable is his first 7 matches was W 2 L 5, and one or two numpties were questioning what had actually improved (the football was already miles better despite the results) Since then we've won 10 of our la...

Re: The Bottom Ten, Saturday Apr 06th 2024
That's it, Farsley lose.
Beat them on Saturday and we are guaranteed safety, it's now that simple. No doubt the match won't be as simple, but it's in our hands now.

Re: When Watson and Mitchell took over…
Without looking to check (if there is anywhere to check) I think it was about 5 points but at some point it was up to 8 or even 10 points because we did only win 2 of their first 7!
