Re: Mark Beck
Sorry but people saying we should not be selling simply do not know Darlo's history. We have ALWAYS sold players. Not just since 2012. ALWAYS. There is no other way for a club in the lower levels to exist. Agreed. I'm pretty certain that every club bar the top 10 in the Premiership, will have fans ...

Do you think a lot of the extra 1000 on boxing day were kids Lo? Because it's £11 entry for concessions and the rest would have been £15.

Re: Southend Away
Just to clarify, I think Darlofan97 is referring to the deadline for registering players in the National League North (31st March). Whereas, I think super_les is referring to the EFL transfer window, which closes at the end of January.

I don't think the Halifax match was at capacity because I distincly remember the Halifax fans were well spaced out because they hadn't sold their allocation.

Re: Gloucester City away 10/12/22
You would just need foundations for the supports, no steps required. Ah, ok. I did not see the construction plans. Still ask do they count towards capacity if we are intending to move them as they obviously are not "permanent". Don't think I am being awkward about this. I just hate to think of the ...

Re: Gloucester City away 10/12/22
Salford City's stadium and Harrogate Town's stand are permanent, as is Darlo's seated stand. But they are all constructed in a form that, apart from their concrete bases, could be dismantled base, transported and re-erected at another location.

Re: York city
49% means nothing if one person owns 51%. Correct. Shareholders don't run the Club. Shareholders appoint the Board of Directors to run the Club. So, if Henderson has 51%, he decides who runs the Club, including himself as Chair. The only effective power the York City Trust has is that they can bloc...

Thankfully, the days of unfunded playing budgets went with MG.
"BTB will almost certainly raise £130k", really??
Is Quakerlad keeping up with the current news and what the Chancellor's budget is going to bring over the next two years.

Re: August thoughts
we still lack a Hatfield-type of midfielder who can win the ball & either drive at the opposing defence or split it with a forward pass. I think you're underestimating the contribution of Moke (who, if I'm not mistaken, was a direct replacement for Hatfield). Despite his slight frame, he frequently...

Good workout tonight. Totally dominated the 1st half and led 4-0 at halftime with goals from Mondal Hazel Lambert and Rivers. Second half was more disjointed with multiple substitutes and Aycliffe pulled 2 back, before a goal from substitute Marcus Maddison. Thought we looked good at times, especia...

Slight deviation from topic, but according to the Hartlepool Mail, Gateshead manager Mike Williamson is attracting interest from Hartlepool and Barrow. I think that would come as quite a blow to Gateshead if he moved on at this critical point.
