I keep thinking every time, please don't miss that header!!!

Much the same thing I remember thinking as the cross came in for Tommy, minutes from the end of the 90....

There we go, deleted and banned all those accounts. They were all registered in 2015, by the way - before we really started ramping up the efforts to stop them signing up. Just sat there.

I've half a mind to purge old accounts if I can find something in the admin panel to do that, actually...

Maybe it'll give us the penetration up front that we've been crying out for in recent weeks? We certainly need something to get the blood pumping.

Then they'll start posting on the other forum's, it's getting beyond a joke. Hopefully something will be done sooner rather than later. A surprising number of spambots are actually very clever, and they don't post in the top board on a forum as it's usually the most popular one and would therefore ...

For those who haven't seen it via other social media channels yet, we've recorded a podcast! Episode 1 features an exclusive interview with Tommy and Alan, along with our attempt to pick an "impact XI" from the last five years. You can listen here: https://soundcloud.com/user-390607800/the-darlo-fan...

John Bell, Andrew Matthews, David Collinge, Chris Stockdale, Tony Waters, Malcolm Cundick and Lee Kilcran

Sincere apologies for the missing fixtures over the last couple of weeks. I've got the admin open in another tab and I'm getting everything up to date now. If anyone is interested in taking over the fixture admin in future please PM me - I'm hoping to launch a new version of Uncovered next summer wh...

Absolutely terrible news, my heart goes out to his family. I didn't have much contact with him, but whenever I had cause to I always found him helpful and nothing too much trouble - mostly involving domain name work for getting the fundraising and future DFCSG projects set up. The club has a lovely ...

All sorted now but I have to create a new tracking ID, so I'll sort that over the weekend, update where required, and make a new thread. I'll probably have to delete this one as - without checking - I would assume people have quoted my original "offending" post and I won't get time to clean it up.

Amazon have advised me tonight that our account has been suspended due to violation of the Associates Agreement - basically I wasn't supposed to say I'd pass on any money to the club. I modified my original post and asked them to re-review, but they didn't reply to this and instead just told me I wa...

What kind of cramps, exactly?

Also, you didn't answer his question.

I have found our twitter to be strangely quiet in general recently. Other clubs at this level seem to push home games constantly, whereas our twitter account doesn't seem to mention much at all until the day before/day of the game. I appreciate it will be run by volunteers, but considering we have ...

Fixtures for the remainder of the month added - sorry the Southport one was missed.

Think it's about time I found someone with a bit more time than me to look after the day to day on this place, the code's getting old and I'm getting behind on looking after it...

Salford game is up for prediction and confirmed signings have been added to the dropdowns, sorry it's a little late. Will try to get the rest of the season added over the weekend.

There was a problem with the DNS (behind the scenes stuff to do with the domain) that meant some people were being directed to the wrong server. All sorted as of late yesterday morning but, owing to the way the internet works, some will catch the fix before others. Just keep trying, and it should re...

Think we've got a handle on what's gone on here, fix is in place and will roll out over the next few hours (DNS related, so it needs to propagate...)

Getting reports via Twitter that it's not working properly for a few people - am looking into it.

They would only be single games rather than two legged affairs, so there wouldn't be any extra games:

Current system: 5v2 / 2v5, 4v3 / 3v4 + Final = five games
New system: 4v7, 5v6 + 2v(A), 3v(B) + Final = five games

Did your friend find someone to run his bath for him?

We have to stop hounding out the ones we do have, as well. As lo says, we need them. Volunteers giving their time freely are a rare and precious commodity - priceless, and they're going to make mistakes just as anyone in any walk of life can. Even just a minor example, I regularly get the wrong name...

You jest, I'm sure, but I know of boards that are actually run this way...

You can appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf by firstly finding someone willing, and then e-mailing the SG to let them know, per the instructions in the e-mail you may or may not have received by now.

And when will that be?

bga wrote:Yep excellent read Michael. One small point, you have not factored in the possibility of a Hung Parliament in the General Election!

Nor did I ponder the effects of the different types of Brexit. Guess I'd best start again....

Don't mind you posting it in here, so don't worry about it. I've got no ads on my blog so I don't need to worry about the penny or two of revenue I'd miss out on

Excellent summary Mikky. I know it's not the same thing but Salford's owners appear to have a 50/50 split between Peter Lim and the class of 92. Perhaps this would be possible for us? Didn't MG confirm at the recent forum that anything less than 51% is not workable? Could be wrong but don't think s...

The alternative was Martin's belief, and not one I necessarily agree with. We still have one of the larger fan bases at this level, never mind the ones below it, which with sufficient budgetary control could leave us with a playing budget that wouldn't be top 5 but wouldn't be threatening to our lea...

Finally managed to get my thoughts on this whole thing down. You can read them here if you wish: https://mikkyx.co.uk/blog/post/sustaina ... or-success
