Darlo Uncovered

The more you think about it the more sense it makes. Alun first and foremost liked his defenders to be good with the ball at their feet. A typical clogger at CB wouldn’t give that option but an experienced RB who had recently converted to CB and done really well who has a good pass on him starts to ...

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

I doubt it’s as simple as that as we could just walk away and not pay a penny.

I see the poolie bunker Hartlepool fans equivalent of darlo uncovered remains locked. Does anybody know if they have closed it down permanently ? Have their supporters fallen out with each other ? Or is Raj Singh up to his old tricks banning freedom of speech. Works fine if you register and login. ...

The club crest on the orange shirt looks like an iron on, or is it just for display purposes The orange shirt is just a graphic rather than an actual shirt like the burgundy one. The actual shirt will be embroidered. Still undecided whether the badge will be the usual full colour as used on the hom...

It's a shame Orange don't exist any more. Remember that big square patch on the shirt, shocker to wash! France Telecom bought the brand across the world. It no longer trades in the UK but can be found in many other countries. Their main football sponsorship is Olymique Marseille - they’ve tweaked t...

His minutes to goals/assists is actually decent. It’s difficult to judge with such limited game-time spread across a number of seasons. He is definitely more of an impact player but at 22, still has time to improve. I certainly wouldn’t be writing it off, like some have, for the reasons I’ve outlin...

Ferguson and someone else I can’t recall

One of 3 players they supposedly want to keep

Wrightson isn’t good enough for where we want to be imo. Can’t see that one happening as I’m sure he was out of contract last season and he didn’t end up here which would have been a safer bet

Site seems to be still accepting donations and after another couple of donations this morning the total is now up to £131,190.

These are donations made offline via cheque/BACS that have arrived late and need to be manually added

£110,467 from 529 investors (I appreciate that these are not individual investors, more individual pledges). That said, how many ‘pledges’ did we have last season? I believe that it was 532 but happy to stand corrected. Another milestone that looks set to be beaten. Yeah 532. Or is it 3-5-2? Or 5-2...

It’s going to be a long season. The idea is to try and build a squad for it with appropriate cover and flexibility. We’ve all watched the game long enough to know that the starting XI on day one (whenever that may be) is usually quite different to that on the final day. There’s no doubt Alun will be...

Yes. Exactly that. Just sorting out the fine detail

28 investors short of last year's BTB and past the target looking better every day. Still time to invest. :thumbup: 532 last year and the number is the total number of pledges rather than pledgers, however that doesn’t detract from the point that once again as fans we’ve raised the bar even higher.

I think BTB works well and extending it may not help. The fact that it is for a limited period gives it some urgency and energy and if left open for longer it could lose some of that. If anyone wants to make a donation after the end of May I am sure the club will still be happy to here from you. :t...

Regarding Ainsley, you’ll note how poor their start to the season was last season, you will note the coincidence that they picked up when Taylor came back. I’m not suggesting they are a one man team but they are a different prospect with and without him Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Same could...

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Langstaff from York here next season either

I’d expect Jack Lambert to be here next season

Naturally the momentum of BTB has stalled after a fabulous start. Hoping the showing of FA Trophy victory will give it a bit of boost today. There are still many who will get paid at end of month. Expect a late surge. The beauty of the scheme is that it’s paid monthly and you can choose your DD sta...

If we had our own ground then a fan ownership would be even better giving the fantastic fans we have Not owning a ground we can fully monetise will always be a hindrance but the same would be true whether fan owned or not. The current pandemic shows how vulnerable many clubs are both professional a...

It might pay for Maguire’s right hand

You say pessimistic I say realistic

Sage must have thought it was Christmas when Raj walked through the door.

This incredible total has got to be a first-day record for BTB and it is all the more astonishing given the dark clouds hanging over everything at present. It may be "only football" but the club clearly plays an important part in people's lives. Yes it is. To put it in context we’ve beaten the tota...

£103K-ish was pledged

Awesome start as to be expected. I will be increasing my pledge slightly because I believe that Alun will spend wisely on good players, as shown last season. One slight misgiving is no target has been set, why? Darlo fans love a target. Another slight concern is it comes across a bit defeatist when...

The club are looking at this for everyone who holds any sort of season / flexi / pay monthly ticket now that confirmation has been given that the season has now finished.
