Darlo Uncovered

With all the doom & gloom on here at the moment i thought id just let you know an even that's happened today that leaves me feeling very positive for the future of the club. I emailed Christine late yesterday to enquire about the Boro friendly, this morning at 9am i get a call from a lady at the clu...

so....... there's the old company formally owned by GH, now by the administrators. then there's the new company set up by Raj. Isn't the 'new company' also being run and owned by Houghton, and he's selling it on to Singh? the new company was originally registed under the administrators, but a quick...

& Darlington Arena Events bet the accounts for these 2 would make interesting reading, would show once and for all if houghton was syphoning all money into these accounts by paying wages thru the football club and accumulating profits in these companies. would probably show if the stadium is commerc...

wheres that bucket of sand someone was talking about? room for one more?

it was the season before that when there was only around 1k against boro todd wasnt happy with the friendlies against higher placed clubs he's said as much, looks like it was his decision to can it for morale reasons i'd have thought Yeah but at the end of the day surely the games were a formality?...

yep pretty much agree with that, also id like someone who could cover both full back positions and were good to go

Another question about the admin delay- season tickets. The club have said they will not bank any of the money from season tickets until after we come out of admin. If we don't come out of admin until after the season starts how will they be able to issue season tickets to anyone? I think RS said a...

ive never seen liversedge so i dont know if he's adequate backup for knight, if we can manage to farm him out on loan somewhere we might bring in woodhead, otherwise 3 keepers would be overkill on a tight budget.

has woodhead been sent packing?

We all know the football league doesnt want teams in the league that cant control their finances - hence the hefty points deduction, so is it really any surprise that they are not bending over backwards to help us out?!

the way it works when a CVA is agreed is - the company in administration's creditors are paid and the business is then wound up and closed. with football its slightly different as there is the football league share to be taken into account, which is basically the only asset left in the old company, ...

Why cant we survive in this division in that stadium? As long as the backroom staff and playing budget is realistic, which it seems to be getting towards i think we'll be a lot more viable proposition, we certainly wont be losing £2m a year. I dont think the stadium is as massive a financial drain a...

did offiong get on?

convery did ok, did a nice move near the end of the game. I just think we lack the killer touch in the final third. It is still early days but I dont like the idea of having to rely on Windass for goals. I would say Todd is going to offer him a contract though. But as Easby has said, would have pre...

How was Convery? Played OK - Showed lots of commitment, tracked back and tackled when necessary. Worth giving a go. DC That last paragraph sent a shudder down my spine. I just don't rate the lad and would've preferred to keep Poole what have you got against the letter DC like cheese? ;) id bring hi...

convery seems to be a steady eddy, not great going forward and rarely beats his man, but he tracks back well and helps out the full back, he'd be worth a contract if he's not on much, and i think he'll get one as todd hasnt played anyone else in that position. would be nice if we can get franks on l...

i find it crazy how lads like this have an impact in the prem and then within 5 or 6 years are in non league - surely must be an attitude thing

Excellent, a clean sheet. People seem to be impressed with Plummer and obviously habing Arnison and Bower as full backs gave us some much needed solidity. to look at plummer there's nothing to him at all and i wondered whether he'd be bullied but from what i have seen he's looked very promising, co...

doninger has more than likely left - after seeing his reaction at the end of the newcastle game i did think we wouldnt see him again and it looks like i was right, maybe todd thinks he's covered in midfield and needs the money elsewhere, still seems a bit daft to sit him on the bench for 2 games tho...

I thought kendrick did improve towards the end of his darlo career, altho not sure what he's been doing since todd played mark bower at left back during his time at bradford and he's currently on trial at chester, who if reports are to be believed are in a right mess, he's more a centre half that c...

official word is that he picked up a knock at blyth, shame as he could have done with a couple of pre season games under his belt and i think would be the perfect foil for thorpe or windass.

was just thinking that side looks pretty decent, not sure if we'll have the funds to bring in arnison, bower, chadwick, convery, williams tho, unless of course todd is being a tad economical with the truth about the budget being used already. tells us all we need to know about james and starosta tho...

chadwick is more of a target man than a goal getter, which doesnt really help us as we have thorpe in that mould already, we really need a bit of a poacher a la peter duffield, lets hope we can nab one of one of the local sides on loan.

funny how hughes was stalling until sven got the position, yeah they *should* walk the league - ravenhill, bishop, davies, hughes plus probably more to come, all solid lower league players capable of winning promotion i laughed at sven when he said as soon as he was unveiled his phone started ringin...

ok its £10 for the game was thinking that it was £13 just needed to check cos they don't use cards just cash and all the ATM's near me are never working. should be good game bit more on the same level thinking about 650 souls in the nelly. I paid with a debit card earlier today. Don't know if they ...

hey thats not a bad shout at all
