Darlo Uncovered

Really pleased for the volunteers. You must feel really proud. 3 points we would not have had without you.

How often do the fans do sterling work to get a pitch playable and then we fail to win? Cant remember when it was the other way. But well done all and heres hoping it bears fruit.

Yeah, watched it 3 times. Did I miss something? Anybody there see what the positions were when the ball was kicked?

With big projects like this it isn't always that useful to have regular updates as things like this always take a lot longer than you think. In the space of 4-6 weeks it's probably a case that there isn't a huge amount worth releasing a statement about. Yes, but we need to know that its still going...

Ramsbottom and Cammel both 80/1 for the league (1/5 odds first 3). I know which is more likely to be top 5.

I've seen Droylsden this season and they are woeful. It's a few weeks since I saw them but at that point they hadn't won a game all season, I don't think this has changed since and they are regularly shipping 5+ goals. They're team is pretty young and as I understand it the chairman/manager has sto...

All that matters is that we survive and operate within a budget, whichever Division we are in. I never thought I would say that and when those *******s at the FA and Singh conspired to demote us all that way, it seemed like the end of the world. But it isnt. On a weekly basis we still suffer the sam...

Chelsea 1958 and West Ham 1960

We are Darlington!!
Nobody snatches defeat from the jaws of victory better than us.

With VC we are 8/5 and Buxton 6/4

If we play, obviously could go either way, but surprised that Buxton are slight favourites after Saturday and we being at home.

5/4 Buxton, 85/40 Darlo. Bookies not giving much away there.

That picture was on the front of our programme for ages. I once saw the original photo and wondered why we had it on a Darlo programme when the shot was nothing to do with us

Remember it reasonably well, mainly because it seemed a silly name to a 10 yr old, and I had never heard of Prescott. It was in the days when if we played a tean you had never heard of then a win was certain.

Makes our 3-0 look quite good.

What a difference a couple of weeks makes!! Every time I loook now I expect a goal. Its just like last season.

Just looked at GoogleEarth Blackwell Meadows and had a wave of nostalgia for Feethams because a really good kick to touch with a following wind might yet again end up in the Skerne.

Of course. I wasnt seriously suggesting anybody put a penny on it, just pointing it out.

250/1 for the Trophy (HAHA), but can you believe we are 6/4 and 11/10 for the League? Curzon look a good price at 2/1 and 9/4. I cant see why we should be favourites.Might have a few quid on Curzon and then they might as well give upMy few quid will be like filling their boots with lead.

Are they in the order given when the team is announced on the match thread, because I assume we dont have squad numbers?

Amazing. And Osset put 3 past Harrogate. They have lost most of their games by the odd goal. And we had a look of Bayern Munich about us last night. When do we fall to earth?

" The biggest issue would be that Darlington are once again tenants and are going to have to pay rent / share bar takings etc are they not?" from spen666 His comments usually amuse me. Obviously as a Spennymoor fan does not realise that bar takings are only a small percentage of income .... compare...

To get a penalty, score and take 3 points rather than 1 point. Not rock science

No, thats petrology. Sorry couldnt resist it.

Sorry I was looking at the Evo Stik Challenge League Cup. The one we are in is called The Doodson League Cup.

Just looked at the draw for Prelim and 1st rounds on Evostik site. We dont appear to be in either.

Many thanks again. Really captures the atmosphere (unlike the goals on local tv, where the same bit of cheering is dubbed onto every goal). Even when we wernt playing too well the crowd got behind the team. Just a question for anybody who was at the match. Are the highlights a fair representation or...

And we have gone to 5/2 with betway I think

Oh that must have been my 50 pence

Whenever I see his name I think of that big missed hoof from the corner of the penalty area. So embarrassing and he's done well to get his confidence back after that.

I dont want to get ahead of myself, but I am sure, barring a Darlo disaster, that we will be up there. Anybody know what the rules are for promotion? Is it just one, two, playoffs? Anybody know?

Phew I misread the OP!!
Thought he was wanting a new club.
