Darlo Uncovered

Sorry it didn't work out for him, but no great loss for us.

I used to like him for his last ditch tackles a bit like Kev Smith, but rarely gave away penalties.

the Arena wasn’t all negative! We are drifting off topic here but we had a little spell at the start of The Arena where we would sit next to Matt Clarke's dad. When Matt scored the first Darlo goal ever and ran into the empty corner where no fans were at all, he stood up and shouted something like ...

24 cases now in the Darlington area, which makes us the 7th lowest local authority area in England. Is that 7th lowest per head of population? If not probably doesn’t mean that much as I would think Darlington is one of the least populated local authorities and you would expect it to be a low figur...

It's now official that the 3 divisions of the National League have seen the 2019/20 season has been suspended indefinitely.

The longer this lockdown goes on, then the less likely the FA decision will b overturned. Whatever the final decision is made will upset clubs & there fans in equal measure. Damned if you do & damned if you don't.

Nowhere is open, obviously on the wind up.

Not good news that Mose Masoe is being asked to leave his hospital bed before he is ready to go home, in order for his bed to be used by a coronavirus patient. Hope he can continue to make progress & I hope his long term health & wellbeing is threatened by this decision. Tough times for everybody at...

66 non-league clubs send an open letter to the FA.

I live in a village 4 miles from Darlington & 2 cyclists approached from the countryside. I said what were they doing here & the said they were doing there one bit of exercise, they weren't from the village by the way. I then said that they weren't wanted in the village, they swore at me as they he...

Wow. Check out our fixtures on the official website. They're not hopeful of this ending anytime soon.

I don't think I'll be around for those fixtures, haha

Ed get off Boris's back, he's doing a great job in a very trying situation.

Went shopping in town today & it was good to see that there was plenty of stock in a couple of supermarkets I visited. Hopefully people will stop panic buying, but somehow I doubt it.

The numbers in Darlington are beginning to edge up worringly, now 14 confirmed cases is Darlington.

11 cases have been declared in the Darlington area, up from 5 yesterday. I can't see this coming to an end for months. Dark days.

I'd like to nominate the rest of my village apart from my neighbour, as we were the only 3 people applauding in the whole village. We plan to get out the pans tomorrow & make a heck more of a racket.

Hopefully Darlo residents showed more thanks than my village did?

Sorry I thought all non-league football was voided my mistake, still good news for Blyth & Bradford PA.

No derby with South Shields next season then.

But derbies with Blyth & York, which is great. I'd imagine Kings Lynn will feel gutted, especially as there owner is likely too turn off the financial taps.

Given the postponement of sport worldwide, I'd think it's almost certain that the weekend will be cancelled. Especially if football makes a comeback. Did anybody buy there tickets in advance, I guess you'll get a refund?

The magic weekend at St James Park is under threat from the coronavirus.

I'm sure many clubs will be using the pandemic as a reason for getting players to take wage cuts & laying off non-playing staff. I don't think a 20% pay cut is too bad, it could have been far worse for their players.

I agree it doesn't reflect how many cases are in Darlington, but I'd much rather have figures of 3 rather than Hampshire that has over 200 confirmed virus cases.

I see Darlington has the joint 3rd lowest outbreaks of Coronavirus amongst the Local Authorities in England, with only Blackburn & Darwen & Hull with fewer cases.

I listened to the game on DFR & when Farsley scored there was almost complete silence, so hard to believe that 50 away fans wouldn't make some sort of celebration noise that could be picked up on the radio.

An interesting selections to pick from for the greatest try in the last 125 years.

Gainford is about 7 miles West of Darlington on the A67 between Barnard Castle & Darlington.

Will people be saying this when the crisis is over and the Chancellor starts winding down these schemes? People tend to be quite happy with limitless money is being showered on them (as the current situation necessitates). But this is nothing more than a short-term measure and when the Government s...

People have long memories, when this crisis comes to an end, people will boycott these people that are trying to profit from people's misfortunes & any profits they have made from this crisis will soon be wiped out.
