Darlo Uncovered

Brilliant idea, more than happy to chuck my WA admission into a bucket on Sat.
Win bonus is great idea & makes up for the (hopefully) lack of Darlo at that game.
Fuck West, ideas like this show we won't tolerate piss taking, yet still benefits our own team.
I'm in.

Fucking ridiculous that people are squabbling about 'bummer', the price of mugs and the landlord at the March Hare. Darlo fans eh. We should be shouting from the rooftops about our start to the season, the way the team has gelled, how good crowds have been, the management and the squad strengthening...

I reckon the questions "where do we get £x million to acquire land and build an infrastructure?" and "wouldn't that fundraising be better spent on leasing or acquiring the arena?" are valid. But 1883 were categoric in saying it's too much of a gamble. We simply can't afford it right now. For all it'...

Thanks for confirming the DAFTS stance. Fully understand. I suspect the same may be true of Tykes but will wait and see Will be interesting to see how the potential 4/5 fan group representatives elected to the Board might condense into 2/3 and how this impacts appetite to invest. You are right, wait...

I'm also pro Arena, the facilities are first class and have such potential. I'm also pro me owning a six bed mansion with a swimming pool, games room and 7 acres. However, I can't afford it yet. So I will cut my cloth and not take the huge financial risk and stick with where I am for now. As has bee...

Just wondering what thought is / has been given to coordinating fundraising events and how you guys as fan groups plan to work together toward common objectives? Given that the majority of your groups are informal am just curious as to how the 1883 model will shape up in practice? The Uncovered and ...

DAFTS has not invested as a group. It's an informal, social group, which has been involved in fundraising and sponsorship collectively and individually in the past and ready to do the same in the future. How you can convert this into 'votes' is hard to fathom. As individuals, many of us have invest...

The rent wasn't £270k. It was £10k plus 5% of any concert takings. I would love to see where this £270k comes from. I'm not saying it is wrong, but it does seem excessive. Does anyone have a break-down of the figure? Surely saving could have been made by "mothballing" 3 of the stands and rooms not ...

Got wonder about the mentality of a minority in the town (probably hence your other post Divas).

The answer to the OP is YES Though with some of the bickering on here one might think otherwise. I like how 1883 are pretty much saying, "right, up to you lot. Do you want this to work or not?". Although the operating model isn't exactly as first envisaged they have had to make quick decisions witho...

... which in my eyes has stemmed from the Trusts inability to communicate with their membership, with 1883 and the wider community will be as much responsible for the death of DFC as Raj Singh et al. The divisions, jealousy and egotism is nothing short of pathetic. If, as a hardcore of 1500-2000, we...

Have a bit of dignity Quakerz. You were a ding, you were called out, you apologised. Leave it at that and move on. Dont be twisting the thread around into your getting all sanctimonious at Bedale. Maybe he hasnt replied as he doesnt spend all day every day ttrawling this board, maybe he has other st...

Never thought I would be favouring the Arena but its there. Staying at the arena isnt an option as far as I'm concerned. Tricky one isnt it, we probably cant stay as the deal to help us survive will more than likely hinge on the entire site being redeveloped and us relocating. But, if we take Divas...

If we want to be at a reasonable level we really need to consider the Arena as a long term option. As Divas rightly says, balance the cost of building afresh (and the debt that would surely come from that) against the cost of staying. I've always disliked the Arena but having attended our Christmas ...

Really good & creative idea, exactly the kind of simple innovation that could just work. It considers the current economic climate and asks, "how can we do this differently?" Always wondered why the commercial team didnt really engage more with fans for ideas (with exception of Damon) as a bit of di...

Bedale not Beadle, sodding iPad

Quakerz, this is essentially the exact same logic, and pricing structure on the second submission, I previously used (though it was more detailed & included Ron Greener & Ron Greener over 60's for instance). Thoroughly debunked that was though. It was more the fact that the spreedsheet showed how m...

Dunno why that put ' up the Darlo twice' but hey we all want to have a club to bicker about in two weeks so I say thrice..up the Darlo

Duffel's spreadsheet was thoroughly debunked at the time Why not give us a link to the spreadsheet bedale, so we can all tear it to pieces again? Even Duffel admitted he fucked up Bit of consistency please Quakerz, especially when you've laid out the same thought process. No it wasn't and no I didn...

Don't usually bother posting as it gets tiresome wading through all the infighting and needless abuse to find debate worth reading. But... Have still got the spreadsheet and am happy with the logic. If someone tells me how to link it then I'm happy to. Quakers, I'm assuming the comments about it bei...

Absolute quality

"FA investigate offside goal"
Quakers to be stripped of trophy & Mansfield crowned winners.....

Well done for pulling this together! Have watched it and watched it and relived it. "darlo fans go ballistic". Get in there Ray

"Quakers beaten twice at Wembley"
Forget yesterdays success for in our souvenir pull out we will focus on the previous visits and defeats.

Piss was boiled with yesterdays pull out, was decent to start with then 4 pages of negative backward looking failure. Wankers

It just made the last 20 odd years worth the effort, the November nights at s*** tips like Wigan, the late goals this season, always being disappointed in front of a big crowd, the crushed feeling after 96, 2000, being the laughing stock last year & the admins. Well fuck all of that, we are Darlo, w...

Being a Darlo fan for 20 odd years tends to drive you to it.... softens the harsh reality

Just been down to bag me a black polo top - however they are coming into stock next week.

Cooper out, its a bloody disgrace, Raj molests goats blah blah blah etc *

7,000 Darlo tops

Well not all Darlo fans were wearing tops (fucking shitty soccer dome)
7,000 is nonsense and probably a wind up...
