Darlo Uncovered

There seems to have been a reluctance on TW's part to use this lad, but having already lost O'Hanlon, we have a gap on that side of the defence. Saturday saw Henshall as wing-back, and Elliott has also played there with slightly more success. Perhaps TW will play Elliott there again and make space f...

Come on darlo fans wherever you are we have got to pull together for the sake of our club, we all want the best for our club playing at the highest level that we can achieve within our budget, some of the fans don't or won't recognise the struggle that we are going through with out a bigger benefac...

Another consequence of the Ashton result is that Spenny are now in pole position to win promotion.

But the most worrying thing was the crowd and the general apathy which seems to have swept over the entire club. When was the last time we had a 3 figure crowd in Darlington for a league match? I fear we are watching the slow decline of Darlington Football Club unfolding before our eyes. It's a vic...

I would additionally chip in to my earlier post that had we had a Nelson playing last night there might have been a chance of capitalising on some of the approach play of the first half. Scoring the first goal would have changed the dynamic of the game and made a whole pile of difference to the way ...

Hurworth, we have a problem. We began the season with the idea that adding to the existing firepower of Styche and Syers, which had proved pretty effective, with the alternative outlet of Ainge would give an extra dimension to our attack. This was largely the basis on which it was projected that we ...

Thanks for that. I do understand the idea of having a general, undefined fund such as this donation scheme, with the rather more gentle purpose of getting small amounts in when people feel like it, rather like the buckets at the gates when people come into the ground. But I still think that, rather ...

It is probably because I'm getting too old and confused to take all the latest info in, but we currently have this donation scheme live, and we now, also, have the 500 club renewal, which offered members a one year extension, which they may choose to offer as a donation. The donation scheme that is ...

The last few posts have been about the impact of the 500 club and a possible further extension. I am a 500 club member and as far as I can remember I was part of a second push for people to join the scheme and so my expiry date on my card is June 2021, which seems to fit with what others have said a...

I don't think he scored any/many more goals for Blyth, which rather backed up the opinion that MG had of him, which seemed to be that he could be brilliant but too often disappeared and added nothing to the team effort, which was not going to get him brownie points with Mr Gray.

Kneeshaw could rip this league up if he gets his attitude right. Was impressed with him the short time he was with us, very tricky and good finisher, not sure why Gray let him go but remember him getting a hat trick for Blyth.Hope TW can get him for the remainder of the season. Sent from my moto g(...

Following this thread is getting much like Brexit. Many different solutions to an, as yet, inponderable problem. There seems to be many opinions but few facts. And rather like Brexit the idea of leaving BM would be quite a leap of faith, based on what little can be ascertained at the moment, but has...

Darlington 1883 Ltd is the company set up to run the football club and has since 2012 made equity (shares) available in order to raise funds. These shares have been purchased by a number of different shareholders, the largest being Darlington 1883 Supporters Society (DFCSG) who have about 85% of th...

Correct, you need to be a direct shareholder in DFC 1883 Ltd. From memory I think there are around a couple of hundred, most who just hold a single share. Hi Divas, As you know something of the past history of this shareholder business, I wonder if you could just map out when this all happened and ...

There seems to be a conundrum over how we fit all the available players, and more particularly the loanees, into a starting line up. Perhaps we should remind ourselves of the reliance on academy players to fill the bench for such a long period earlier in the season. It was clear from the few times t...

When Nelson was at the club we had that little bit extra that looked to be taking us well clear of the drop zone. We are still playing well, but Kidderminster aside, the goals have begun to dry up. This wouldn't be tragic if the defence could close games out but we always seem to find a way to give ...

Talking of the defence, I thought Ainge had a great game and was slightly unlucky that Thommo is also in great form and is more likely to catch the eye up front. As with Saturday we just didn't manage to find a killer second goal, but even despite that the team looked comfortably in control until 60...

Match report: We played well for 80 minutes against an absolutely dire Hartlepool Reserves side. Missed loads of chances to seal the win before handing them the game with two dreadful defensive lapses near the end, thus deflating 1,700 fans who turned up at BM. Still, the tie did feature the word C...

Thommo has 89 but the Walsh record is 100, so still 11 short.

With all the attention on the two derby matches over the weekend to Tuesday it may have lost focus on the current pitch to raise £10,000 by having names included in the home shirt logo. This is due to end tomorrow and is still £3,000 short of the target. So just flagging this up in case folks had mi...

Just to bring this back up. After finding that Palmer was not in the squad for last week's match, I don't recall seeing anything about what his situation is. Is he still considered to be on loan with us or has he gone back? And what of the possible additional loans to replace those who have already ...

Good on you Gramps. Looking forward to your debut.

I do love some of the people on here ffs [emoji38] [emoji38] [emoji38] So you'd prefer an almost media blackout Andy? Stop being stupid and grow up. The commentary was raised on the thread, Andy and others said they weren't fans of it as they're entitled to do so. It's just an opinion. The overreac...

Club have announced Liam is receiving professional help and won’t be available for a number of weeks. Wish him all the best. Just read this on the official site. Hughes has become a big part of the recent recovery and I was disappointed to hear that he wouldn't be playing at Alfreton. He's a great ...

I just hope that he gets no more than that.

Apparently he has a full squad to choose from, but Romal Palmer played a full 90 mins for Barnsley U23s this afternoon. Palmer scored the winner also, not sure if that will stop him being available tomorrow though. Not in the squad. I'm not sure I understand his loan position, if indeed he is still...

Whilst agreeing with this as an idea to raise more cash, this has brought to mind something that I think I noticed when attending a recent match. Some time ago money was raised by offering fans a place for their names to be placed on the back of the dugouts. If I remember correctly each name would ...

Having seen the Kiddie manager's PMI I was amazed to hear that he believed that they had been on top in the first half.

I should have said MPRC AND DARLINGTON COUNCIL, which have a sporting village hub agenda.en passant there is no leverage as our present landlords are thwarting most of what we are trying to do. They are our landlords and don't want us to forget it. Shame really as if they were more accommodating I ...
