Darlo Uncovered

They are all over social media desperately trying to smear us with the fact that there was plenty of space down that far end, with photos 'proving' their point. They're saying that Darlo fans deliberately overcrowded that area. The fact that MyOpinion debunks this will not matter a jot to them. And...

My fear is due to yesterday next time we play them there. Play offs? you never know that they will now give us only 500 tickets. The problem wasnt lack of ticketing but simply not giving us a proper section. We should have been given most of the south terrace behind the goal with a gap stewarded bet...

also if you think how many times they have miraculously escaped certain relegation over the last 4 seasons!

I can see St Ives away then! with a defeat no prize money and us actually making a loss what with the coach trip down and hardly any attendence to share the gate money.

no disrespect for consett but Id rather get them at home in the next round, at least a decent gate and the best chance of progressing

My view is quite simple, forget BM it is never going to work in the short term or the long term i.e. it will never be ready for ages and then when/if it is will be very basic and will not allow us to move up the leagues.The land does not allow us to build an infrastructure big enough to support a c...

I'll be wrong when we actually play a game at Blackwell! lets not get carried away. My preferred option is that the club and Mowden and the council should be working together to make something out of the arena for a long term future. I can assure you I'm not seeking 'victim' status.

Is no one allowed to have an oppinion on this forum before the keyboard warriors jump on and go completely over the top? By the way I'm 41 and have I slated the club or its volunteers etc. I've purely stated that I dont see a long term future in Blackwell Meadows, yep its great to be back in darlo b...

I wont believe it till actually happens, we've had statements like this for about the last 2 years. To be honest I'm dispointed in this news as that means we will never get in the football league. Before anyone jumps in I'm not saying we have any divine right to be a league club and that we would ge...

If people think we will ever be playing at Blackwell Meadows it's not going to happen. The club have been trying to get a short term lease at the arena and also looking to try and get a long term lease at the arena as well if the Blackwell plans were to fall apart in the next few weeks

Big decision for Chandler, suppose South Shields home town club, big crowds decent money, not having to travel round the country might sway it

Well wasnt expecting that

I've seen a photo of the Ken Warne in The Tinshed facebook thing

No rain forecast at Bishop all week so I'm assuming we will be playing there ? any plans for it being all ticket as potentially we could be champions at the end of the match ?

Just checked for about the 10th time today on bbc and forecast looks ok just light rain and drizzle, so fingers crossed

Just checked on bbc forecast and it's rain basically all day tomorow at Bishop, shite

They cant make you pay... but if you don't pay or dont appeal then eventually they will go the county court for non payment and if the court upholds there fine and you then still dont pay the fine you will have a judgement against you and debt collectors after you and your credit rating will be bugg...

No problem with the prices going up. I would expect we would need to pay higher wages, travel costs, etc to compete in a higher league. Look at the admission prices for other teams Worcester City £13, Telford £14, Guisely £15 so I'd say £12 for us if more than fair. Plus think of the savings Darlo b...

Was Hereford to do with being still classed as the same club? etc and us not. Just thought Grimsby would have attracted decent crowd we had over 5000 for our first leg and Grimsby are doing well in the league

Anyone see they only had 2447 on Saturday at home for the second leg. Considering they were 90minutes from Wembley, thought they would have had 5 or 6000

1200+ bank holiday, not too far, feel good factor back with the results and ground announcement. Lot of Yorkshire based fans. As stated we do have a good away following what was it at Guisbrough in Northern league for that tuesday game 1100 or so we took. The only thing I can suggest that might dete...

The attendences have excellent all season and growing. The owner is trying to build something and isnt in it for the money. Simply to give something back to the community with a long term plan. He has done the ground up, refurbished the function room and bar to a high standard. I live in the area an...

I see Mowden Park are struggling on the field now and there is never a mention in the Echo about the crowds at the Arena any more. Previously they used to be always printing "in front of a crowd of 1,000" or "900" or "700". It's now gone very quiet on that front so I suspect that has fallen off con...

no disrespect to Jarrow Roofing, but I would have preferred a tie against them rather than Hyde

agree with you completely alex g white, about the arena being the only option to progress through the league. Has Martin Jesper or the board in any official capacity actually approached Mowden to discuss any arrangement and been knocked back. Have you seen their last accounts? It's not the 5 or 6 mi...

what with everything being up in the air, if we win promotion this year would we be allowed into conference north using heritage park?

Adam Rundles dad was the guy behind the bar when we played them in the Northern League. Hard to believe that Adam Rundle is still only 31 seems to have been around forever! Excellent what the new owner is doing for the club in terms of doing the ground up and running it for the community and not for...

the ticket split should have been 250 for Darlo and 1750 for Sunderland, that would guarantee sell out.

Thanks Mr Tibbs for the link, The Tin Shed now has over 200 members and people have posted some great photos from over the years, and more to come. If anyone has any please feel to post, would love to see some more from the Reynolds era and the Arena years, derby days, northern league travels etc. C...

How long is the work expected to take to get the ground ready once it actually starts?. Is it actually planned to moved there during next season or to wait till the start of 2016-17 season. To me it would be an anti climax moving during the season especially if we having a poor season. Apologies if ...
