Re: Darlington v Newcastle Benfield Match Thread

Best display of the season, Thompson (The Bull) and Scott (Mr. Tantastic) bossed the show.

JN unlucky with the bobble, excellent double save first half.

Tait compliments GB, both need to cut out mistakes like the one that led to their first / second goal

Re: Tonight's attendance

Shawry do you honestly think that this club can prosper on 911 attendances. We have no known assets, we can only hope to gather financial credibility, and attract investment, on the back of the team being successful and attendances increasing accordingly. Seems to me the budget of 800 was for contin...

Re: New seating

As it is it should be free, and those that have paid should have their money returned if no roof is to go on. Are they paying the same as those in the main stand? if so the environment is vastly different, pop to the toilet, get a drink at half time etc. What will be the attraction of parking your a...

Re: Tonight's attendance

I agree with several of the points made on this thread, and accept that to a degree the weather played a part as do other legitimate factors such as work, but 30% down with a winning sequence. Saturday will be interesting, and if we have to rely on the weather, then there are going to be some low at...

Re: Darlington v Durham City Match Thread

Lone star your last comment on heed very true, but no consolation. Darlo support is fickle, 900 is never going to finance a permanent new home in Darlo. For years the missing were stating they would support a winning team, well now they have one. Don't giveg them help with their excuses

Re: Darlington v Durham City Match Thread

Poor performance in truth. That said can do no more than win. Disappointing crowd, what is it with the Darlo public, seems any excuse not to attend. How can you win 2 on the trot, home and away and loose 30 percent of your support. Has the novelty worn off, reality kicked in

Re: auction of darlo stuff

Most of the stuff was bought by 2 buyers @ around 70% to 30% ratio. Local quick buck merchants. No one from the club that i saw. A couple of lots went to Great Ayton juniors, so that,s great, put to good use. Here is an example a bale of 50 badged leather footballs - £42 Boxes of polo neck t shirts ...

Re: Just back from match

Dreadful performance, we were outplayed and out fought across the park. The back four were unrecognisable from previous games, can Brown be missed that much? Grieve is cumbersome and for his size lacks dominance in the air, Arjun has a bit of class about him, however needs a bit more size to be able...
