Darlo Uncovered

Not everyone is as cautious with their contracts. Kings Lynn have just signed striker Dayle Southwell and given him a two-and-a-half-year contract. He had apparently been on more than £1,000 a week at Halifax.

I'm, not, sure, I believe, their going to do this. Its not easy to see the spelling and grammer police in action. They must of been having a laugh

That doesn't quite tie in with what he said when he arrived... that he was in it for the long haul and it was a long-term project. Only Pete could be forecasting the end of the AA era after it has only just really begun!

Just need to look at this to see why more should be getting on board....

Now that does make for good reading....

That was a brave battling win in keeping it at 2-1 in the face of another team who make full use of long balls, long throws, corners and free-kicks. It was a real bombardment at times from set-pieces. Reid was excellent again after having to switch to defence and Hatfield and Wheatley stayed strong....

I thought Will Hatfield's interview might just rile the Guiseley fans and it has done. When asked if he had one or two mixed feelings going back to his old club, he said: "I enjoyed my time there but I was ready to move on from there. It's the best thing I have ever done.... come into this club now,...

It's also good that we have a young striker like Campbell who seems able to create goals out of nothing and should get to 20 goals this season.

The worrying thing is we'll have to face the Spring tide at Kettering-by-the Sea

I see Kettering did a Spenny today and tried to pretend their pitch was OK and allowed players and fans from Hereford to travel before it was inevitably called off just an hour and a half before kick-off. The pitch at Kettering looked nearly as bad as the Football League standard surface at Spennymo...

Mad Dog Billy seemed particularly irked by our second goal which he seemed to think was offside.

Another looming personnel problem is that I think Wheatley is now on 9 yellows, one away from a two-game ban. And he's in great form.

Harry, the hint was in the smiley face.

The playoffs are very much on. They barely laid a glove on us in the second half and we seem to have good reliable options all over as in the successful switch of Reid to defence. We deserve better crowds... National League here we come

And just to put the tin hat on it, I forecast a possible deep depression settling over Billy Heath come ten to five on Saturday

When they announced the huge investment at the ground, including a brand new "Football League standard" pitch and cutting-edge covers, the impression given by the club was that postponements were a thing of the past. I don't think anyone wanted to admit (and certainly not to Groves) that the hugely ...

Couple of posts from alty fan who was at the ground I’m an ALTY fan who made the long Tuesday trip. Away coach and own travel supporters.Must say brilliant away support. I’m fuming, the pitch was in my opinion playable. Both teams were happy with it God help you if your pitch isn’t premier ship sta...

Given the amount of rain that had fallen it would have been prudent to get a local ref to have a look at the pitch in good time. They didn't and allowed fans and players to travel, even issuing assurances that everything was OK.Of course, once the ref deemed areas of the pitch unfit, they immediatel...

It's quite easy to think of 5 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Attend the Brewery Field.

Hatfield v Falkingham should be a tasty battle and I'm quite pleased they've let Joe Leesley go on loan to Stevenage. He always seemed to be a thorn in our side.

They did take it to another level. I don't think I've ever been to a match in which I've seen that kind of tactic used to such a degree. It seemed for long stretches all that happened was the keeper or defenders just punted the ball as long and high as they possibly could over and over again in the ...

"We had enough chances to win 5 games."

No wonder they only had about 15 fans tonight. I wouldn't cross the road to watch dreadful hoofball like that, never mind suffer a 340 mile round trip on a Wednesday night. Constantly lumping the ball into the air for the many giants is clearly effective in their league but I'm glad that dreadful wa...

The really frightening thing is that some fans (thankfully very much in the minority) were in favour of handing over another budget to TW to see how he got on this time. That is despite the complete pig's ear he made of the whole thing last time when we were left with a small, lop-sided, ineffective...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has heard suggestions that he can be a bit of a difficult character, particularly if things aren't going well. And taking the captaincy off Turnbull and handing it to Styche wasn't TW's finest decision. Having said all that, as we saw, he can lead the front line ver...

You get the feeling that Hereford may eventually pay a heavy price in the fall-out out from this season. They clearly decided to give it a real go and it was reported they were set to have a footballing budget of around £700K. They really splashed the cash and assembled a huge squad of players, clea...

If you want to see how young William Hatfield spent his youth check out this Woodhouse Grove School celebration pic after victory over Solihull at Twickenham... very timely. Will was in fact a very fine rugby player and cricketer (opening batsman) and played in the Yorkshire Youth set-up alongside t...

He spent four years at Guiseley so hopefully we get to keep him for a good while yet, especially as he always seems to be loving his time with us when you hear him interviewed.

I would guess our £300k budget would have us as one of the middle group in terms of spending, bigger than the likes of Gloucester and Leamington but dwarfed by several clubs like York, the Pride, Chester, Hereford and others. One thing's for sure, our playing budget has been handled much more wisely...

Just listening to the Gloucester manager who believes we have a large budget and will be in the thick of the play-off picture. He said: "Darlington are on a good run of form. They have obviously beaten some top teams and have a big budget and a good crowd here and they are obviously going to go clos...
