Darlo Uncovered

Bit gutted only 420 and blame Hilly for announcing the figure. ;) In all seriousness a tweet did go out from Official Darlo saying 400 on that Saturday although 365 is reasonably close. 2 weeks to go to the first Friendly, a few more signings and an event in Darlington may do the trick - I think if...

If you join as a CIC member you will have the benefit of voting rights and having a say in how the club is being run - as a season ticket holder only you won't.
As an 1883 CIC member you may also get first dibbs for buying tickets for all ticket matches.

When we go on NLZ, it may only be a few of us posting... But they are representing our club. Forums are about freedom of speech. Do not think the Darlo fans on there are "representing" our club. They post their opinions and not the opinions of the majority of fans nor the interim board. I have only...

Don't underestimate the importance of good transport for any future ground we may play at in Darlo. Transport was a significant part of the Arena's problem. Not being able to park cheaply or for free within walking distance of a new ground will put many people off, plus the bus connections have to b...

@StevieM - Me likey very much - make sure you get the fans singing it pre-season so it's "ready for action" by August.
In fact - why not make it your profile signature - tho don't ask me how to do that!

Agreed - the loss of "our boys" is just another kick in the teeth.
It's time to kick non-football people out of the game.
It's time to kick the people of the FA-Squared out of the game.

Easy answer .... 1st .... For a hundred and thirty odd reasons really but the obvious ones are: everyone connected with Darlo are totally motivated towards finishing top after what we've been through, our success starved masses crave for it, our ambition to return from whence we came will give us a...

I know the cheque has been handed over - but best wait 'til it has cleared!

@bedale - so, where do you stand on concessions then? OAPs? Bairns? People who are registered disabled? In "Vodka's" absence....I agree strongly with the pedestrianisation of not only Norwich (Naridge as the locals call it) but many, many other towns and cities too - I am also fully supportive of ur...

The loud and passionate Darlo support will add a few extra % points too home and away.
Spenny will push us to the wire, but we'll finish top.

MBW - top bloke. Very honest interview.

Another ex-forces bod here - can't understand why discount should be given to the armed forces at all.
Forces folk are generally well paid and have cheaper living costs.
Concessions should be limited only to those who need it most!

No - trolls don't get any discounts.

The dolphin is not under threat of closure, that's bollox! I said could not was, the council I've been told have to look at all options and the Dolphin Centre opening hours is being seriously looked at as well as other cuts. You changed your tune rather quickly here - closure or reduced opening hou...

If we win promotion I can see us back at the arena next season on a match day basis. I've heard that S&S would be ready to accept less than they were at the beginning of the year to sell the stadium. Also speaking to a leading council official there's no way Blackwell meadows will be built next yea...

Obviously it would be a good thing for the club to start running at a profit & have over & above the projected cash flow but would this ever come at the price of progression through the leagues? or will the board want a firm footing financially before they look to invest too much in the team? (that...

Amazing read Anth - and your blog reinforces the wise choice of getting Hodgy back, plus it was good to see such a good write up on Stewart Davies - top man and a shame he didn't stay.
Let's hope we re-sign you too....look how long it took Gregan to come back, but he came back all the same.

The deal for the land was struck for a figure closer to 10 million than 1 million. Just to put things into perspective. I'm not aware of any solid contact being made but it honestly wouldn't surprise me if some kind of joint venture at West Park did materialise. Guess we will have to wait and see. ...

Have you got lost? Can't find the way back to your bridge, troll-ie?

Great news all round - a BIG Thank You to The Northern Echo!
It's a Win Win - not only do we get the sponsorship - we will stay in prominent position on the sports pages and hopefully the club badge will remain as a live link!

@onewayup - you have disabled Private Messages - I think only the site Admins and Mods can contact you.

Go into your own profile to read replies to PM's - click on the "x new messages" next your user name to get in - I 'll send you a test PM.

Good idea all round.
Might be worth asking folk for ideas about new mascots.
A mascot which chucks sweeties into the crowd will be very popular - though they would be intended for the kids
Kids might turn up just for that!

PS: You weren't Darlo Dog were you?

You and BAFC well be well suited to playing each other, acting the "big boys" in the league but really just a bunch of trolls, like the idiots from both clubs that are spamming up nonleaguezone You're pretty rubbish at being a troll, mate. Have you never considered being a Harry Potter character or...

Fozzo, The CIC membership is "the" membership as far as I am aware - and the online shop has some sort of loyalty scheme going too.

Would be great to see a mascot doing the turnstiles by the way, kids would love it

Well I hope it's Darlington Fudge Cakes.
Bit long tho' isn't it? Hmmm....abbreviate the "Fudge" and the "Cakes" and it'll fit luv-leh!

Ha Ha!
This is gonna scramble my brain.

Good work there to all involved. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: @Hilly, the obvious question - will there be a totaliser added at some point? Not really. There's 2 separate teams working on season tickets i.e. offline and online, so bringing the two together will be sporadic at best I guess. It's easy...

Good work there to all involved.

@Hilly, the obvious question - will there be a totaliser added at some point?

...lost count back there....
468 season tickets and rising.
Any more to add?
