Darlo Uncovered

Chatting to someone on Wednesday who’s knows, the £100k windfall will quickly disappear after paying of people who have loaned the club money he reckons they will likely make £20-£30k but should then be debt free which is a good thing. All the creditors know we have made money so they will no doubt ...

It’s up to theClub to pay for competent stewards for a game like this they should have maximised provision bearing in mind the money we have accumulated. . I’m not sure who decides amount of stewards but I’ve heard it’s the chair of DFCSG who signs it off. Chatting to JS at least there was no runnin...

Good first half poorer second half however they are full time and it does make a difference. Personally not disappointed it was very good atmosphere in hospitality al credit ti Craig Morley and his team. Also someone mentioned DJ mentioned on BT Sports we had earned £100k from cup run which is massi...

The DFCSG need to crack on with a decision as they/we are the owners. If the plan is to get back to the league then the Arena is a sensible option as BM will take to much money to develop it to FL standard plus we only have 15 years left there on the license. If the ambition isn’t there then BM will...

Let’s just get behind the lads with some decent songs.
So looking forward to this one it’s hard to concentrate at work.

This really is a non story it’s not like it’s the Champions League Final. It’s all probably a wind up anyway and at the end of the day it’s on the TV. Great to see a full house, if we win I doubt there will be any complaints, lose badly I can here the criticisms of sight lines already, oh to back at...

I think I saw a £100k figure on here brought in through the cup run so more than enough for Alan to strengthen the team I would have thought.

I’m in hospitality which is totally full I’ve been told, that’s the first time this season. TBH when it’s that full it’s oftern difficult to see from the balcony. However who cares for this game as atmosphere should be cracking.

Is the gate money split for the replay?
If not it could be a tidy sum with the TV money.

Rob, it’s a shame there aren’t any woman on the the board which in today’s society is not good. Is that due to no females have applied?

It will certainly make a huge dent in the debt and outstanding loans. Plus if we win reply it could be another bumper pay day which will be superb for the club finances finally putting us on an even keel.

Support was brilliant, players superb. One of best days out for a long time. Let’s hope we get a decent gate for the replay.

Well at the station quite a few Darlo fans and no delays for the 9.13 to Birmingham. Come on Darlo.

Superb news - maybe with O’Neil going back perhaps it released some playing budget to do the deal.

The count down 4 days to go 👍 Still time to do a deal on Liam Connell, & he did not play for South Shields in previous FA cup games so not cuptied👍 Be great if we could get Connell but I’ve heard it’s unlikely. I’m sure AA is doing all he can to get the strongest team out, win this and it will make...

Feeling very positive about this one, we will have a decent following and financially it would be great if we can progress to the next round.

We won’t be getting Connell playing budget already over limit apparently.

Not an overly inspiring game yesterday so bring on Walsall which I’m so looking forward to, 8 of us going down on the train.

Are we still entertaining the notion that Blackwell Meadows isn't absolutely rubbish for anything more than our standard league crowd? A big away crowd is always a cracking atmosphere, especially when the home crowd aren't arsed and are easily drowned out. We're not capable of a big home crowd. Our...

We could make £22/25k on a 5500 gate. Looking forward to the trip.

Tough tie

If we get a big home game then the Arena should be considered if possible. I’m talking Sunderland or Hartlepool level. Not possible It is possible, you can’t move purely for financial reasons but your can for safety reasons. With a large following from say a Sunderland, Ipswich etc I believe you ha...

Tamworth aren't pushovers we need to work hard make sure mistakes are kept to a minimum and put our chances away when they present themselves, play to our strengths with commitment high tempo and accuracy, if we do those right we should come away with the win. Onwards and upwards with Darlington FC...

I didn’t mention anything about Craig, personally I think he’s doing a great job you only have to look around the ground in terms of advertising and as a user of hospitality it’s really improved and I wish more would use it.

If we're financially stable then a reputable company like Clive Owen who already run the payroll might be the best way forward and using their knowledge might save us some money along the way. I'm personally more interested in Craig Morley's input and looking forward to seeing if he's brought in mo...

Well if not a fans forum then perhaps a podcast to update us on finances, board replacements for John Woolnough and any update on Arena/ Blackwell it’s a while since we had one. You mean like the 15 minute catch up with David Johnston in the episode we released yesterday, then? https://darlofansrad...

Well if not a fans forum then perhaps a podcast to update us on finances, board replacements for John Woolnough and any update on Arena/ Blackwell it’s a while since we had one.

It might be just me but I'm not really sure what you are suggesting with this post and why it needs a fans forum and what "if true it is worrying" means. And why we need an immediate update on finances. As a fan owned club I feel it’s time for an update as I’ve heard rumours of investment which is ...

With John Woolnough gone I’ve heard the accounts are looking to be outsourced from Clive Owen who do the current pay role if this is true then it’s worrying as the DFCSG promised a tight hold of all finances as a fan owned club. It would be good to have an update on finances and where DFC are financ...
