Darlo Uncovered

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

You know this is only credible if you were walking your dog, right?

It was an absolute pleasure to have you on the radio with us on Monday - thank you for joining us

There's some talk on Twitter about how a "confusing" e-mail received from the FA when we started to look into the grading rules may form a key part of our appeal. As with all things on social media, I'm not so much taking it with a pinch of salt as the entire shaker, but we'll see what the club pub...

It still feels like a stupid rule to me. Asking teams to spend five to six figure sums - at our level - on the possibility they could be promoted is just asking for those clubs to be in financial trouble if they don't win the league and / or fail in the playoffs.

Regards penultimate sentence above, I thought one of our Sponsors "Feethams Darlington" was also our PR Agency, or have I got that wrong? Feethams Darlington is the leisure / food place on the roundabout opposite our old ground (if only...!) - I don't know who our PR agency is meant to be these day...

Well, not until one of us wins a Euromillions roll-over, anyway....

Look again.

Really dropped the ball on this one (and not for the first time this season), sorry. I'll have the rest of the season's fixtures in by this weekend and I'm working on tooling to make it easier for me to put the whole season in one go for next season.

DFC pays for them because we don't have enough volunteers, I believe.

Hopefully Tommy Wright will get a good reception when he returns as manager of Nuneaton. Why?.He was at the club for 5minutes. 21 goals in 76 games across two spells (so says good old Wikipedia, anyway) and a member of the FA Trophy winning squad. Although I'd personally give him a much warmer welc...

Nah, you're thinking of Dewey, Cheetham and Howe there.

You were in the DFR chatroom earlier, weren't you?

I wasn't aware there was ever a plan for another road. Everything that's been officially mention over at least the last 6 months has been for one single loop road. The solution is quite easy - from 4:30pm inbound access is prohibited. If people want to be picked up it will have to be away from the ...

DG, I appreciate you might have a problem with spen but please refrain from posting info that could be used to identify him personally. Even a name is too much. Edit: obligatory request for anyone who wishes to argue what may or may not be libel to take said discussion elsewhere (PMs, preferably) an...

Just on Twitter via Craig Stoddart, we won't be playing Salford at BM - but still expect to move there in December.

I know. I'm just not telling.

Are you saying you "understand" something?

Where will the media be put and also for videoing the game and also still can't see on the pictures where the players will be coming out. There's a balcony on the clubhouse that I guess the camera could be put on, and maybe us commentators could sit up there too. Bit more exposed to the elements th...

I believe Bishop are moving their fixture so we'll be playing on the Saturday.

Like many on here I'm not sure how we didn't win that today - I haven't seen any more angles on the disallowed goal - was up in the main stand covering the game on DFR so hard to tell from up there. Did Fylde have a shout for another goal in the first half as well? They had a corner and they certain...

Trying to remember what was said at the fan's forum. The inside bar will be membership only and they were working on this with the rugby club (which presumably means any rugby fans who nip down to watch us will be able to get in there too) - could end up being season ticket holders, supporters group...

Four home, two away I think I read once?

We thought that looking at the pictures here - if you're sat down you won't be able to see over the fence!

Just discussing this in the office and we're not sure - how is this going to work again? Do we have to provide some seating for the away supporters when games are segregated?
