Re: Attendance

At some point the restrictions will have to be lifted, for obvious economic and sociological reasons we cannot continue to kick the can down the road indefinitely, a line has to be drawn in the sand somewhere. As the scientists have said there is no getting rid of it, the vaccines are designed to s...

Re: Attendance

I'm clinically vulnerable myself so am keeping a keen eye on the infection and hospitalisation rates. From what I see, at present, I'd be sceptical about the lifting of restrictions. In your own personal circumstances you are right to be concerned but for the rest of us who aren't in the vulnerable...

I think that the Delta variant could be the fly in the ointment. I've heard that (as well as cases spiralling in young people and schools) a number of Middlesbrough Police Officers (who have been double jabbed) are now on the sick. I wouldn't be surprised if the roadmap is further delayed. On what ...

Good to see Andy is talking sense. Hope they really struggle back in the FL. Just remember that we could still be in the same league as them in 2022/23, well we can all dream!!!

Preston has been more of a backup striker in his time at gateshead, can get odd one here and there but doubt he would be a 20 goal a season man, still a big miss. Cook and deverdics are sure experienced

Had reynolds not come in 1999 the club would have gone bust then and i dont recall anyone boycotting games in his early days as chairman.

Re: 6 players leave

Given all the talk of players going out, I’ll start with a bit of baseless speculation for players we might be interested in: Robbie Briggs (South Shields), Macauley Langstaff (Gateshead), Josh MacDonald (Pools) & Paddy McLaughin (York). Interesting on Briggs. Shields are going full time this seaso...

I don't think the home in time for tea relates to actions pre 1991. It is very much around behaviours which were seen post 2012. Note my last paragraph!

Re: Potential new local derbies

Theres a few myths about the northern league in terms of promotion; -travel: the north east is not that isolated especially with road improvements. As darlogramps said no teams barely went up so thats why there was alot of travelling with trips as far south as derby at one time at step 4. -the fa ai...

Amos is, was and always will be a pompous bore, more interested in backslapping his mates than wanting the best for the clubs. It’s no surprise he’s crawling right up Reynolds’ backside. He’s always had it in for Darlington fans, calling us “paranoid” during our spell in the Northern League. He mad...

Slightly off topic but mike amos’s main gripe with compulsory promotion was that the northern league would be decimated and the leagues below.

If it is true, and not another Forster-esque con, then I won’t sink to the level of celebrating his death but certainly won’t be mourning him either. He shouldn’t be remembered as “a character”.
