Darlo Uncovered

Was there last Saturday for the 1st time in 3 year and was impressed by the setup, large new club house, new stand etc. one think that did strike me was how it could be properly segregated as there was no gates between the different stands/terraced areas like you see at alot of other grounds higher ...

Biggest bunch of hypocrits going. Evicting kingstonian after the way there club was taken from them. So of they have to leave the ground next year and the new one is no where near been ready by then, surely its a ground share

Im guessing a few national league north and south teams operate a hybrid model if the manager and/or any of there coaching staff dont have full time jobs as well as working for the club. The young players and those that are students who can live on the part time wages offered by the club could easil...

Don’t understand the logic of going for no-deal. You’re still going to have to resolve key issues, such as the Northern Ireland border, customs and so on in any future trading deal with the EU. It’s misleading to pretend no-deal is a silver bullet. It merely kicks the can down the road and you stil...

Odd bloke for sure. Shutting down a pub recently opened due to bloke swearing with his wife, not as if it was swearing at staff. Why not just ban the bloke out if it upset him that much? Dads mate used to run a sam smiths pub and there was alot of call to get footie on from regulars but the old fart...

Beggars cant be choosers. I guess pools fans would rather have singh than re-start in the northern league. If the worst happens at least they will have had a few more year in there current guise. As for whishing there demise a bit petty ive generally found the pools fans ok, would not base them on i...

Shildonlad - below is an explanation, but it's NOT WRITTEN BY ME, it's written by QUAKERZ (who now calls himself Ghost83 or something) I liked this explanation at the time so copied it - I hope he doesn't mind me posting it here. You see, Darlington 1883 never rose from the ashes of Darlington, bec...

What was the deal of getting your old name back btw? I gather that it was not granted right away but the FA then let you take it back. Still a touchy subject with some. Because some pillock decided we were a "new" club we had to change name. We served a 5 year punishment before they allowed us to h...

I saw Shildon play at Stockton twice and no sign of Gray in attendance. I wonder what he did exactly?

Thats odd as i believe martin gray lives in stockton

Martin grey has now left shildon. Always seemed to me like it was a stop gap. Even some club officials thought that http://www.shildonafc.com/2019/09/martin-gray-leaves-shildon-afc/ Not really arsed what Gray is up to.

Alright pal whilst im sorry about bury i think it would have set a bad example if they were allowed back in the league especially with the same owner. The ground issue seems a mess. Mind if the grounds got a covant on and theres a new bury wanting to play there that would be better than it lying emp...

This the furthest darlington have got in the cup?

I wasn't there and presume you weren't either Shildonlad. Pretty sure this decision wasn't taken lightly. If I was subject to a ban from something I loved then I'd do everything possible to keep a low profile and not bring attention to myself. Sad to see really as I've always seen him as boisterous...

If anybody cares to take a look at the facebook post on the darlington fc page regarding this from whats been said it appears the guy in question has done nothing wrong and its a over reaction. Personally ive never heard of a ban been banned for just swearing

I sure dont find the way business lost money due to reynolds financial dealings at the club funny, but that boy done good series was sure a good lAugh, some of them tales like when he had the nightclub and blowing the vicars safe

Im not claiming to be a legal expert and calling someone illiterate because you don't agree with there opinion aint called for. I still stand by what i said theres far more important things for the courts to sort out than some frail 83 year old bloke knocking on a councillors door and sending a cou...

THeres good and bad points of fan ownership im sure and the likes of bury prove its advantages, but one thing thats not been mentioned on here is the clubs that were rescued by fans after bad ownership who later accepted outside investment that they deemed suitable. Portsmouth and york are good exam...

Up to his old tricks of turning up on doorsteps. To intimidate a woman, no less. Is it worse to intimidate a woman? If not, then there is no point in highlighting that it was a woman. But yeah, what a horrible man. 83 years old as well! Why's he not retired? Cause he's got nothing to retire to, wor...

Was this really worth taking to court. Evidently the British judicial system thought so. But perhaps you know better than this country’s legal minds. I dont just going of other crimes that have seemed more serious than this but have not gone to court. Im sure the resident legal eagle on here can ch...

Was this really worth taking to court. Hardly as if it was months or even weeks of harassment. You could swear reynolds did this for publicity as he has not been in the limelight for a while. Whats he want opening new business for at his age. Most at his age would be happy to watch tv and read the p...

Some could say the national league is too high but whats the chances of the club been bought especially if they cant regain control of the ground, its just a piece of paper without that. Dont think club would start at bottom of pyramid as that would be crazy more likely nwcl premier

So the efl dont have the power to stop bad owners? If bad owners fail there fit and proper test then theres far less chance they will take over a club, still ways round this such as the gateshead situation where a figure head came im but that sure werent the situation at bury The only power the EFL...

Dale has just been on sky news saying he wants the football league to reinstate the club what a pig headed egoist this man is also told all the volunteers he wanted them out of the ground and not to damage the stadium yesterday afternoon after the deal fell through to save the club and they had spe...

Bury now expelled from efl. In my 25 year watching football this is the 1st time i can recall this happening Maidstone in 1992/3 season were last expelled. They never played 1st fixture. Aldershot were liquidated at end of 1991/2 season & therefore technically not expelled. Just before i started wa...
