Re: Boxing Day

I have to say I was there at the fencegate game and I remember it was David Johnson who came over and sorted the problem out and arranged the clearing of the seats so fans could move down that end and create some space, it was a shambles from Spennymoor. Saying all that I for one will be going, woul...

Re: Southport V Darlington

Terrible weather, but some good football played at times, Charmers goal an excellent solo effort. Both teams could have won the game to be honest. We struggle at the back when players attack the ball in the air and there goal was an easy gift. Saying that I thought Ellis was awesome after there goal...

Re: Darlington V Guiseley

That's is exactly what I understood re both Ellis and Smith. Seems people are asking to know more and club are not communicating etc, but they cant be listening to what is actually been said on the interviews. Seems strange?

Re: Southport...

Very poor tonight, they deserved the win, we had one decent shot on target all game, they had a plan, and we didn't, they looked faster and fitter than us and won all first and second balls. We were slow in build up most of the time. Tommy Taylor made a howler for the 3rd goal but made up for it wit...

Re: Super 50/50 Draw

I have also bought on line, but mainly prefer to pay cash on the day, because I am old I suppose 😉. It is fantastic the amount that can be won, compared to some of the "bigger" clubs, for example York have roughly double our gate but no where near the amounts that can be won. Our lass who is a York ...

Re: Darlington v Leamington 23/10/21

At the Aycliffe game Nelson played the full 90 minutes, and had plenty of running in him, but late in the first half he stretched out a leg to try a intercept a ball and looked uncomfortable for a short while and didn't seem to run as much in the second half, seeming to be more concentrating on posi...

Re: Darlington v Leamington 23/10/21

Thought we played well until they scored and as has happened several times this season the team lost cohesion and handed advantage to the opposition. Was a poor game overall, and the looked like they were up for it more than our players, winning most first and second balls. Jack Lambert looked good ...

Re: Away to Newton Aycliffe - Tue 19th Oct

Anyone at the game last night, can comment on how we played? First 20 mins or so Darlo hardly got out of there own half, but grew into the game. Played some nice football at times, Lambert looked good and tricky with quick feet, and you could see the quality and awareness of Nelson, quite few of th...

Re: Darlington V Telford

I would have taken a draw at the start (but was hoping for a 2-1 win) listened to the game, good to see the confidence to come back from 2-0 down. It may just be me, but while I like rivers he is tricky and fast but not a defensive battler, and I am still not sure about Mondal, so I would have thoug...

Re: Blyth v Darlo

This is my favourite away day game and unfortunately I cant make it😪. Neither team high scorers but feel we may just get something out of this, going with OG's score.

Only difference I would make to team above would be Headley in for Wheatley (he has been off his game lately).

It is far too early to be panicking after a couple of games and questioning AA's future. The team look ok going forward, infact play some good football at times.

Although DJ has said that financially we are secure till the end of the season, that would take up all of any reserves we have, and then have to get through the close season assuming that fans will be back for next season. This would put real pressures on the club. If the season does finish it may a...
