Darlo Uncovered

Well at the moment we only have 43 teams between North and South. Now they don’t look like promoting a team from Step 3 so we are short. If Bury get dropped in North Division then we will have 44 teams and 22 for each, of which Brackley or Gloucester would move South. If Bury aren’t dropped into us...

I suppose the question is did you feel the bug right away or did it take some time? Whilst watching Bury I have sat in and watched some awful games with a tiny sub 2000 crowd spread around Gigg Lane. But I can't imagine it is half as weird as turning to to an away ground with 1000 away fans but jus...

Yeah I get what you mean. I can just see the league making the most obvious choice during this summer which is two northern teams down and one southern team and leave everyone else as they were especially as no teams coming up. However until promotion sorted and Bury who knows 100%, as you say it’s ...

Would be a predicament for the club in the selection of season ticket holders who would be allowed to attend if capacity limited to 300 as I think we have already sold 500. Already getting fewer games than last season, so it would be hard to bear if it was further limited. Personally, don't have an...

I think he is just calling you out on your general two face activity.

It's a fair comment really.

Let’s be honest Gray was tapped up in a sense that most managers/players are tapped up, and to think we don’t do it is crazy. A little conversation here and there will happen quite often before any approach. Gray was finished at Darlo, we had run out of money and needed to sell assets and Gray was o...

Seems to be an even further fall from grace these days if there is a liquidation event...Bury have been placed in North West Counties division 1 next season - that is equivalent of Northern League Division 2. Even longer way back for them than we had. The old club hasn't liquidated/or been relegate...

Hunt isn't here for a pay day, he could have got more no doubt closer to home. It seems his link to Hatfield and Liddle was the main factor in him signing for us from the comments. Whilst his age is always a risk, there are plenty of positives including his form for Crewe, seems a really good season...

We always wanted Tuesday as our midweek game so we can train on a Thursday before Saturday. Bishop wanted it also and other than one season I think the Northern Prem Winning season where we got the Tuesday but I think that may have been because we were expected to go to Blackwell. We then started th...

Really good sales volume announced during the week. https://darlingtonfc.co.uk/news/record-shirt-sales-after-only-a-week Basically as of Wednesday night we were on 376 shirt sales. FIrst month of previous year sales were:- 18/19 - 176 19/20 - 257 Wonder if it will push beyond 400 this year in the fi...

National League are working towards a September start for season 20/21.

I presume they hope we can get some people in the grounds then, which seems reasonable currently but not sure that would be full capacity - who knows.

I’ve said before managers like to get their own players in and normally let players under an own regime go at some point - Gray, Wright no different. We are living under a new player budget hopefully DJ in his forthcoming netcafe can actually let us know what it is as a fan owned club we should be ...

Tez has been fantastic, not many play 300 games and score over 50 goals, with 3 promotions.

I also think he has gone out at the right time as well, works for both player and club currently. The end of the old era, we continue to move on.

So up to Wednesday night, 235 shirts had been sold via our online shop. Not sure what we normally sell early on. https://darlingtonfc.co.uk/news/shirt-orders-past-200-already Also a decent deal if you want to by both at £74.99 - I am sure everyone knows this but thought it was worth putting on. http...

Finished second according to Wiki, assume it's accurate.

Because he’s a Bishop Auckland based, experienced full-back that would do a good job for us - and would also free up Hedley to play in his actual position. On this thread; Tait - Not good enough. Wrightson - Not good enough. McMahon - Why would we be after him? Pattison - One of our own - we all kn...

Wrightson I think would be a good bet as we went in for him last summer.

From my understanding we didn't go in for him last year, things can always change but not convinced we will be in for him again this year either.

We have a fantastic steady squad of 13 and it seems AA has been given enough resources to add 5 decent players to that. Looking at his recruitment last summer then I have no worries with his judgement. If Lambert wants to be part of that then would be more than happy, two strikers would be amazing, ...

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 Always caused us problems when he played against us, similar type of player to Thommo but if we are seriou...

He can state what he wants really, a bit like you on your troll twitter account.

No point getting upset with trolls, they just feed off it.

Who cares.....

Never heard anything about fencegate, and darlington being absolved of any blame although that was always going to be the case as it was a total balls up by spenny- more. I really hope that The punishment fits the crime, points deduction, Nothing happening to Spenny either I believe. Generally the ...

Both good players and I think most fans would be happy for them to sign but we are not in a position to worry about it if they wish to move on. We already have plenty of defensive and midfield options and there will be plenty of players available who could prove as good if we need to strengthen in ...

Can we push on to 120,000 BTB ,last day to reach the new target. Com,on lads and lasses one final push.

We have Sunday 31st as well.

Amazing even before the circumstances are taken into account.

I don't agree, time is a great healer & from the fans reception for him at York last season means he is very well thought of by the vast majority of Darlo fans. Pete people slated the bloke and unfairly so in my opinion.. Also people slagged him at York too unless you didn't hear that Sent from my ...

Galbraith, Atkinson, Watson and Holness still without contract then? I wonder if Galbraith, as Captain, is being saved until last to be announced. It would seem odd if he were moving on not to announce that at the same time Thompson did. Whatever happens now we've tied down the core of the side whi...

Interesting to see that Alun isn't furloughed atm, as he is busy sorting out the squad for next season. he's probably one of the few managers at our level who isn't furloughed. What makes you say that? Pretty sure he is furloughed. I'm not sure Armstrong is necessarily needed to resign players who ...

Most if not close to all clubs are bankrolled, especially below the Premier League (also many of them). What happens if that outside investments stops I guess is the sentiment. In our case our budget would drop off by about a 1/3 if we had to make those saving straight in the player/management area....
