Darlo Uncovered

if we could do it in a safe way to let a few home fans in, hopefully we can make it happen :thumbup: Letting a few hundred watch Shields or the Northern League, in much smaller venues, but forbidding it at our level is a nonsense. We can't survive on that alone (as DJ also noted) but I think it'd b...

As per the interview - No move to the Arena if fans aren't allowed in - DJ notes 'why would we pay twice' in such a scenario - If we go to 'covid capacity' then it will be at the Arena - Has met with Darlington Rugby club and says they want to know what we need for the future (i.e. what would keep ...

The interview is superb A huge thanks to DJ, Chris Stockdale and everyone else involved. The amount of work which must have gone in to try and prepare us for this season, as volunteers, is staggering. It certainly is - made even more difficult for having to plan for every single eventuality, many o...

You’d be surprised! Throughout this the club has been the last to know and has had to plan based on any and every eventuality

I’m not sure required, but it’d be nice to know roughly where we stand with the season, what support there might be, if we hold out any hope of any fans being allowed in... and what it means with the stadium as well. The directors would love to know the answers to those questions too - at every clu...

I am slightly miffed that I note the club anticipate & expect me to again let the club keep my new season ticket money in return for Quaker TV package on a FA Cup closed doors tie on Saturday. I don't see how that is free Old Git? the club should be asking season ticket holders if we are okay with ...

As far as I was aware the commercials for the Arena haven’t been made public so who knows how the deal is structured? Given it was very likely the season could be paused/cancelled/played behind closed doors at any point I’d be amazed if we’d signed any sort of deal that would cause us a problem in t...

The first of many?

They won’t make £80K a month from playing games that’s for sure. What he means is he’ll no longer fund them.

Andrew Matthews is “the programme man”

Just sorting out a couple of last minute hitches, no point in launching and then having a load of queries. Won’t be long, just sit tight

I don't think we can simply mothball and it's all fine - we would have some costs and no revenue. Thankfully we have a forecast sum of £130K that the owners have provided so we have a monthly income even if football doesn’t take place. I expect there’ll be a higher than average default rate if no f...

What that squad has in that first season was momentum gained by steam-rollering the divisions below. That carried us to victories we probably never should have had. We’re slowly starting to build some momentum again with as settled a side we’ve had since that season. Mad to think we’ve been in NLN n...

Do you reckon he’s signed instead of a midfielder, as Hedley or Atkinson can move into the midfield.

He was a good keeper when he wasn’t over 40. Disastrous in his brief cameo at Hartlepool last season

Now there is a new guy at the helm of DMP - surely now its an opportunity to get into bed with these guys about a future ground share, smaller stadium etc - we all know the issues with DRC - both the club and the ground itself - at the end of the day we have to look after ourselves and a new facili...

I think we’d have to be looking toward the players taking some sort of voluntary deferral or cut if the situation arose that we had to play more than a quarter of our games under our average capacity of 1400ish. Perhaps this could be done in combination with another (smaller) fundraising drive from ...

If he can take a spot kick owt like Frank then Adam Campbell is going to have some competition. I’m really looking forward to seeing how he improves the defence

For me Hatfield for his consistency and energy and that Wheatley goal at Walsall-it was massive for our club and fans.

Totally agree re Wheatley’s goal at Walsall. Definitely my goal of the season. Best moment since the trophy

Would be a bigger coup than Maguire if we landed Green. I expect him to make the step up to NL level at least if he leaves York

Let’s not forget this is the same Loughlin who championed the Coxall/Goldberg era no doubt after a bit of fluffing up by the aforementioned. Seems he’ll never learn. Who needs enemies when the club has friends like that...

As Gary Bennett would say...definitely so

Haha Nicky hunt fits the bill perfectly...

Not sure if he’s big and nasty but AA was never going to sign someone like McNulty for instance so this is as close as we’ll get. Reads the game well, experienced head and good distribution. Ticks a lot of boxes for the way we play.

Delayed from 8th July to 22nd July

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...
