Re: Sports Village

What is the proposal for the Sports Village? Is there anything online about what the proposals are? If we upped and left BM would it be us sharing the arena with DMPRFC or would a smaller stadium be built for our needs adjacent to the Arena with us and possibly DRFC in mind? And would be partners i...

Re: Darlington V Tamworth Match Thread

.... It would have been quite understandable if the rugby game had kicked off at 2pm, but it was actually a kicked off at 3pm, but I realise the half dozen or so rugby club members take precedence over the 100 or so footie fans in the bar.

Similarly when, and it is when we sign new players the length and terms of any contracts need to be thought through and signed off in accordance wit...
