Darlo Uncovered

Shame the Alty fans won't get to the final & now they can't even go round their mates to watch it! It's not just alty fans though I feel sorry for the fans that maybe can't watch their teams at Wembley after maybe dreaming a lifetime to get there i.e Wycombe Wanderers supporters. And not being able...

Surely the original bury football club are history now how can any league administrator trust Steve dale after the shabby way he has treated the gigg lane club and their supporters.

National league suggesting a 3rd October 2020 start for the national league. Suggesting there will be reduced capacity in grounds. Step 2 clubs will start that weekend with the FA cup 2nd Qualifying round which is where we enter the competition. Before moving to league games in the following week. ...

Haway then, give es a hint of who it is?

I've heard rumours of Sol Brynn signing a season long loan from Boro.

I hope you're wrong on this one Andy because knowing Boro they'll probably recall him before one of our fa cup games.

I would love us to be in the same division as Torquay again one day absolutely cracking place for a weekend away.

Good to see that the Isle Of Man are joining the football pyramid, even though they haven't been made to feel very welcome.

Given the crazy PC world we live in nowadays it's a wonder the fa didn't make them change their name to the isle of person

Fair distinction. It is quite messy depending on what happens to the original club - if they do end up in the National League and the chairman remains at the helm it will almost certainly split the fan base. I think a similar thing happened at Northwich Victoria following their move from the iconic...

Does anybody remember the good old days at feethams when we used to play our midweek matches on a Monday night. I seem to remember us once beating Scunthorpe United 5-2 on a Monday and Lloyd Maitland playing a blinder on the right wing.

I watched three of the four games (was flicking between the two lunchtime matches). Thought the intensity was OK. Definite signs of rustiness at times from players, which is to be expected after four months off. But actually the quality level wasn’t much different to what we’re used to. Certainly n...

Wishful thinking on my part to get rid of Brackley

In fairness I've visited Brackley for all four of our league fixtures there it is one hell of a Trek but they are a friendly little club once that you get there.

Whenever it does happen - and I don't believe it will happen by October - I'd say that home fans only is a sensible policy - it stops potential infections spreading around the country if an outbreak were tracked to a football game. Advance tickets only as well - and most likely you'd restrict fans ...

........ And credit where credits due the rugby club have kindly agreed to our request.

I think one of the experimental sport attendance event is going to be glorious Goodwood 5000 people allowed into the course instead of the usual 50'000 I also believe a limited attendance is going to be allowed into the crucible theatre for the world snooker championship s at the end of this month i...

Any body considered Matt Gould from Spenny as our Keeper, I believes he is available and lived local? his name was being bandied about a few weeks ago seems to have gone all quiet. I wonder if we have learned of a young Boro or Newcastle prospect being released at the end of the current season. I w...

From DJ in a netcafe in 2019: https://darlingtonfc.co.uk/news/tonights-netcafe 'Bar sales – DFC retain 10% of bar sales revenue. Gross sales per game average circa £2k.' This stacks up - 10% of revenue so it's a greater percentage of profit once cost of sales are taken into account. If the Rugby Cl...

speaking of signs it's the electronic one in the bar that irritates me - welcome to Blackwell meadows home of Darlington rugby club on our match day would it really hurt them to welcome our visiting opponents or even just switch it off for a few hours during our game time there.

Is there any space left on Faverdale industrial estate possibly where Bowaters once stood ??

At last the football league have rejected the excuse from the Wigan athletic chairman and local labour MP Lisa nandy looks as though she has forced a full public enquiry. Let's all hope and pray for once an unscrupulous owner gets his fingers burned.

The heart breaking thing about these job losses is that they all have a knock on effect. whether you love or loathe the northern echo it is nice to have a local newspaper to be able to report on your club. Although I preferred it back in the days before social media when we had the pink despatch and...

Absolutely bloody scandalous Pete and another pointer into why more and more clubs should follow our lead and become fan owned. At least under our system every pound is accounted for and it stops chancers like these asset stropping football clubs. Wigan athletic are going to be very lucky to survive...

I reckon Hartlepool won't be too far from being in the mire. Macclesfield town probably a certainty to fall by the wayside. In our league I'll be surprised to see the likes of Alfreton town to continue if we can't get going again soon with their very small fan base.

Bad effort that should read.

Chester have announced that theirs has now beaten the £80'000 barrier. That's not a bar effort in all fairness.

Anybody heard anything about a potential new goalkeeper !

Hartlepools attempt seems to have stalled a bit

Quite a bit of money raised for the PPE in Raj Singh's nursing homes to be fair

Just a thought would it cost the club very much to let the season ticket holders have a discounted shirt for next season - don't slate me - I said it's just a thought and I am referring to the fans who lost the four home games..

Would be a bonus if Boston Utd went up through the play-offs as it is like King's Lynn, a helluva way to go for an away game. Equally, Brackley would not be a great loss, although quite a few Darlo exiles in the South do make it to that fixture. Thought Chester were against play-offs due to the cos...

........... A lot of people on this forum have not mentioned the injury suffered by Armstrong in the play off final against bamber bridge which had a major impact on his career. I also genuinely spoke to a Hereford director last season who told me styche spent most of his time with them arguing with...

I wonder if the situation stays the same clubs will be banned from selling them along with the likes of 50/50 tickets due to the risk of contamination. I know it sounds harsh but if the league do impose a ban this would be another couple of our vital revenue streams lost.

Astra zenica are supposedly well on the way to developing a vaccine in Oxford university trials. Let's all keep our fingers crossed this is over the line by September and our nationals get their jabs before it's snapped up by the USA who have also poured billions in the hope of ridding us of this so...
