Because we often seem to blow it in front of a big crowd. We are Darlington we never do the expected thing. Hope they prove me wrong.
Yes, just like we did at Wembley in the trophy final. In front of a huge crowd.

Re: Darlington V Flyde

Here's hoping for another good result, a point wouldn't be the worst outcome against money bags Fylde but we are capable of getting the win. Not a fan of Fylde TBH call it jealousy if you want, plastic club IMO, I see their supporters club bus has been cancelled for Saturday, lack of uptake maybe! ...

Was not a fan of Sukar coming into the season, but credit to the lad, he has improved vastly now we are mixing it in the League. Obvs Wheater is class & this has rubbed off on both Sukar & Lawlor. Purver has also proved essential to our defence. Agreed, we are stretched for cover at the back but fe...

Banbury's budget last season for players and staff was 140k.

These dudes will mostly be on £100 a week.

I'll leave it at that.
Thought I might add, passion, will to win, determination and belief.
These are things that should be instilled by the manager.
