Darlo Uncovered

The playing surface has been dire recently. It looks better than it actually plays and certainly doesn't compliment the way we want to play the game.

Not that there's anything the club can probably do to rectify the issue, with reluctant landlords putting the bare minimum into its upkeep.

Don't see any reason why Trotman would want to leave at the end of the season.Even if he gets his degree, he can still forge a very successful career as a FT pro footballer and commit to another season with us and put himself in the shop window as others have.Far too talented to call it a day.

The lad in the white hoodie, contrary to polar bear's comments, was entirely blameless for the collapse of the fence. As per Beatroute's post, he had complained to the stewards about the state of the fencing prior to the collapse. If leaning on a fence makes it sag, it is clear the installation is w...

Got to agree with Darlo Pete about the 2 turnstiles. That was another amateurish thing. Didn't believe that if there was only 863 of our fans, that there was around 1400 spenny fans. An EXTRA 600ish fans...not for me. But they were never going to say over the 900 were they. We have to take some res...

Completely farcical set up. To announce the day before the fixture that we would be given one side of the ground, with a capacity of 900, but not make it all ticket is ludicrous. Entering the ground through effectively one turnstile should have been a warning for the farce to follow. The decision to...

We need a nasty, hard, horrible centre half who can organise and a nasty, hard, horrible , massive centre forward who can bully people, hold the ball up and score goals. Reece Styche would score a hatful in this team. That’s the sort of striker we would ideally need. Put themselves about a bit and ...

I think we need to change the system again. 433 has been brilliant, but we now look toothless since Tyrone left. We are unable to bring Campbell and company into the game as the ball isn't sticking up front. We are wasting Thompson. I agree with AA that Donowa is better running onto the ball, but gi...

Definitely have to agree that Donowa deserves a chance to start, in the near future. We are playing excellent football and barring Brackley, look defensively solid. However, we are struggling to score goals and Donowa, although still very raw, has done enough to be pushing for a start.

Honestly, there's no reason we couldn't cause an upset and beat Pools. Even just setting the finances aside, I want the game to happen. If we can't have them, then yeah, home draws against lower league sides as far as we can go. Sides from our level are frequently competitive in the competition, th...

We were a Tyrone O'Neill/striker short of an upset. Matched them all game and despite their additional possession in the 2nd half, didn't trouble us except the goal. I believe with the exception of the first 15 minutes we had more possession. From memory after about 20 minutes it was c 58/42 in Wal...

We were a Tyrone O'Neill/striker short of an upset. Matched them all game and despite their additional possession in the 2nd half, didn't trouble us except the goal. I hope to see Tyrone getting some minutes for Boro soon, otherwise the recall looks completely bizarre. For us, we desperately need a ...

In reality, an informed decision can't be made until the facts about both options are presented clearly. For instance, if the relationship with DRFC is fractured or the pipe issue is insurmountable, then we probably need an alternative. Likewise, if we return to the Arena without a plan that benefit...

Magic of the cup and all that. Oh for an extra terrace to lift the capacity. I think the capacity is 3,000 for this game. Read figures on twitter somewhere. Walsall got 300, and about 2,700 went on sale to our fans. The ground can't adequately fit 3,000 viewing spectators, there are going to be som...

Backing us at 15/2 earlier today feels a lot more optimistic now!

My only real criticism from Saturday was leaving Campbell on the left hand side and playing Donowa through the middle, when he made the substitution. Thought he could have shifted Campbell up top.

However, on another day we would have scored a few.

unusual to see these days. I know in the olden days, folk would alternate between watching different clubs in the same city. This might merit a different thread - something to do with where is the love? - but in the old days - Boxing Day 1966, Feethams was stuffed with so many fans to see us play l...

Good on him and hopefully he silence the doubters and all the managers on here...Because everyone knew his situation not wanting to play football [emoji23] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Sat on his coin and then went to Whickham after his pay off, despite having the opportunity to go two week...

Who gave the figures ,it depends on who that person was as to the truth of the actual amount supposedly.
We know to our cost what that owner can and will inevitably do , pools were well warned of this.

Hignett supplied the figures in the Hartlepool Mail.

Don't think anyone will be surprised, after all singh will never be fit and proper person for the role.how long before he pulls the ,we need bodies through the gate ,i can't do this without fans coming through if it doesn't improve i will have to take measures to secure my cash. There was a recent ...

Bury now expelled from efl. In my 25 year watching football this is the 1st time i can recall this happening Maidstone in 1992/3 season were last expelled. They never played 1st fixture. Aldershot were liquidated at end of 1991/2 season & therefore technically not expelled. Just before i started wa...

I wonder when we expect to hear an update in this regard from the club.

Obviously the next step, infrastructure wise, will be critical so I am very intrigued to see which route is the most viable going forward.

I thought Galbraith, Trotman and particularly Laing were pretty shaky last night. I thought Laing's decision making was poor on several occasions, but he wasn't the only one and Trotman's pass cost us the goal. However, Laing has performed at this level consistently for Blyth, so there is clearly a ...

Halifax will bring about 50 maximum

Remember when they demanded 600 tickets and barely sold 300 for our first game back. LOL

Was that not Stockport? or has my mind blown?

Definitely Halifax. Kicked off about their allocation of 600 and then only sold half of it.

I see that they have already had one preseason friendly in which Cartman scored a hat trick. I wonder if Campbell has ever heard of a hat trick.

Has Cartman ever heard of scoring in the football league?

Any good shouts for alternatives then? Boyes at Spenny - Not really realistic I imagine due to wages and need for a transfer fee. Beesley at BPA - Also unlikely to be realistic, unless their budget is to be dramatically reduced. Northern League - The next Glen Taylor would be nice. Any possibilities?

It would be nice to see the Maguire and also Jameson situations be concluded fairly shortly, even if we don't get them. Armstrong mentioned that we have alternative options, however a slight concern is that we miss out on these players the longer we wait for DM & PJ. It's a long summer I know, I jus...

Can't blame them it happened to us not so long ago on a Sunday 🤔 And our fans went divy calling all names under the sun, I wonder if they will go divy cos we have done the same to Blyth , I suspect NOT Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk You have absolutely no idea what has happened behind the sce...

The stats don't really look good for Wright no matter how you cut them...has he ever had a third season somewhere though? It probably is blind faith, because there isn't really a logical reason but I'm kind of happy to stick with him and see what happens. I don't actually think he would take us dow...

The Report suggests work is expected to start later this year, and be completed next year. But then it says the Planning Application is likely to be submitted later this year. Are they expecting a quick decision? I imagine it will be a formality approving the plans, with the council guaranteeing lo...
