Re: Gateshead - ineligible for playoffs
So what position will we be in if we have 2 good seasons and go up then make the national league playoffs? That’s two immensely good seasons but if that was the case we would need to show that we have a a rental agreement with our landlords for ten years or more. Doable I would think. ...........no...

Re: Once the dust settles...
because the Rugby Club don’t want any further development of BM. This is not true - beyond hear say from fans when has 'no further development' been said. Development to EFL standards may have been mentioned. I believe that it was DJ himself who said that the Rugby Club were against any further dev...

Re: Once the dust settles...
I think we would come straight back down if ever promoted with our current finances, however that's football and if that happens then so be it.

Re: Rushall tickets
Presesumably Rushall's overall capacity has been reduced by the ongoing works. Therefore, I think it's as well that Rushall are asking Darlo Fans to buy their tickets in advance on-line. Advance ticketing should avoid the potential for any Darlo fans having a long, wasted trip by being turned away i...

Re: 2022/23 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Are the Women’s Team and the Academy one and the same? They are the same line in the accounts. I do think people misinterpret the intent of the Academy. It would actually surprise me if it ever produces, or even intends to produce, players for the first team. Academies outside of the professional c...

Ask any Rochdale fan who are currently in dire financial trouble e.g. need £2M to avoid liquidation.

Re: More local competition for good players now at Blyth
My take on it is that Tom Platten, after 25 years in the Chair, had reached a stage in his life where he'd had enough of the responsibilities and financial commitment to keep the club on an even keel. It seems he was so desperate to hand it over that he engaged an agency to go and find someone and i...

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll
As others have pointed out, it’s a completely bizarre situation that the club have put themselves in to have a GK coach only available when he’s not in the stands at SJP. I’d go to the lengths to say its amateurish as that’s exactly what it is. We’re a National League North club, every other club i...

My patience is definitely wearing thin if he's contracted for next season. If that's the case it's a ridiculous decision. Had he come in fit, playing regularly and scoring goals that would put a different slant on it. Sure I read his contract is this season and next when he signed. I am sorry but i...

Re: The new floodlights.
You could always ask the club via the contact facility on the official site and share the response with the rest of us. It would have taken you virtually the same amount of time as raising a query on an unofficial forum.

Re: Alun has been sacked
If you increase our home gates up to the 2,000 figure (basically a third increase on our average gate last season), we would still be the worst supported side in the EFL. We aren't a Football League club anymore. We don't 'belong' there. That may be upsetting for some, but I think we need to realis...
