Darlo Uncovered

I understand this ground is for a side called Quakes. https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/sites/csnbayarea/files/styles/gallery_image/public/2016/09/23/01-all-star.jpg?itok=TWtHpxUY×tamp=1474654489 Indeed, the San Jose Earthquakes. The end closest to you houses the longest outdoor bar in North A...

i dont really understand this why on earth would anyone invest in darlo with no facilities to raise extra income. if we had our own ground i could understand it but the only assets we have are the stands. People would invest on the basis that as the club moves up the league the asset that is the cl...

Amid concerns at the delay in ...

Smaller clubs get screwed over by bigger clubs all the time in terms of TV money, sponsorship money etc.

Smaller clubs finding a way to exploit the bigger clubs seems like fair game to me.

What about that match early on in the 93-94 season when we had an injury crisis at home to Scarborough. Some youth team player called Cooper played, but I can't remember his first name. Mark Hope played in that 6-0 defeat at Fulham if I remember, and in a match report of that defeat Phil Brumwell g...

Apart from work? Id say thats a major plus for £20 a year

Yeah. There's also not many organisations who "make a killing" charging £20 a year!

It's difficult to think of many teams ever that have won anything without being based on a solid defence.

Well, you're hardly going to support people going on strike if you're a grafter!

Boro for me.

First, a good friend is a lifelong Boro season ticket holder, so I'd like them to do well for him.

Second, I'd rather the North East did well whatever the walk of life. Sport, business, culture, I want the NE to be successful.

Except Newcastle. I hate Newcastle.

San Jose, California.

I'll chip in for petrol if someone else will drive.

A poll in the mirror has the tories 4 points ahead. Bet the editor didn't like publishing that! I'm sure the editor is fine with it. If you watch them, polls in Tory leaning papers (Telegraph, Mail etc.) are tending to show Labour close or ahead of the Tories, and polls in Labour leaning papers (Mi...

I hope it's the Wednesday and Saturday. I'm visiting England for the first time in 2.5 years next Saturday, and will arrive in Darlington for a few days on Wednesday 29th.

Obviously I'm disappointed that automatic promotion seems unlikely, but getting to see two Darlo games would be awesome!

Don't agree with you very often but on this I do, I vote for the best local candidate based on what they are saying not who will be PM This is a good way to think - however, where I live the Conservatives have such a large majority that it almost seems a waste of time to turn up, regardless of whic...

The Conservatives would rely on any UKIP seats they win and the Ulster Unionists, but it won't add up to what the SNP will bring to the table. I'm not sure it's entirely right to say the Conservatives would rely on the Ulster Unionists. The Conservative Party is actually called The Conservative & U...

We need to drop the idea that anything disappointing has happened here.

Quarter of a million raised in a few weeks - remarkable.

At this stage it is just putting out the idea. I feel I have to make the trip, sometime next season & think it would be fun to meet up with other exiles... some I have known for years others not at all. Definitely would be good to meet some other exiles - I'll send you a message the next time I'm i...

Clearly not fans, just people from the area travelling to cause trouble. I wonder if they even went to the game. There's absolutely nothing the club can do. It's a police matter. There is something the club and it's genuine fans can do. It can very visibly encourage it's true supporters to watch th...

I'd certainly be up for more discussion. Entirely depends on when it is really, but I could probably find a way to trick the wife into thinking it's a good idea for me to fly to England for this.

I've not visited Darlington for 2.5 years now, but will be back in 3 weeks for a visit.

There's a lot of things I can't wait to show my son, who's never even been to England.

The Town Clock.

My old school in Hurworth.

Broken Scar.

The ground where his football team plays.........

Yep I have my credit card linked and earn points on anything bought via paypal on the card. I would assume the charge from PayPal to the club is a probably the standard 3.4%, maybe the extra costs were part of the issue. As well as exorbitant fees, integrating PayPal into a payment flow is a pain i...

Thank God we got the 5th.

Our goal difference was looking a bit shaky.

I'm not doing Dry January, but neither would I be drinking in The Half Moon.

Darlo has many fine pubs. That isn't one of them!

The gates are what they are and unless someone ACTUALLY counts everyone there and stamps their forehead to prove it then all these GUESSTIMATES are exactly that. Guesses! I agree. It's incredibly difficult to gauge how many people there are in a crowd; I seem to remember reading during some protest...

Evans was convicted by a Jury who heard all the live evidence. He sought leave to Appeal which was turned down by a Judge. He then made a further application for leave to Appeal, which was again turned down and the original verdict upheld. His application for a review is really his last throw of th...

I'd thought about Bernard - but is he as recognisable to your average fan as the others? Same re: De Vos versus Bennett - De Vos moved to the SPL (Aberdeen I think?) and played for Canada - but is he as well known as Gary "definitely so" Bennett? Depends on how global you want to go. De Vos is a re...

Quite amazing! The permutations for organising your work schedule to suit your circumstances seem almost limitless. Yes, it is pretty cool. I have to say that even though people are free to work whenever they want, mostly people follow standard 9-5 office hours, since even with the great online vid...

We have the same system at Netflix where I work (referenced in the article as being where Branson got the idea). Our vacation policy is "there is no policy or tracking". We realized that since we don't track how many hours per day people work, why do we need to track how many days per year they work...

What's your Twitter name? I'd like to see those.
