Re: Darlington FC V South Shields Match Thread

Some of us fans, manager included, need to take your heads out of your backsides. South Shields were a better side, and it wasn't because we didn't show passion, desire or commitment, it was because they have been very well organised, they play exceptional possession football, and they are all tact...

True Hospitality costs

Good to see the club confirm that we do get a major cut from hospitality and wet sales. Hopefully it will put to bed the doubters that have criticised from Boxing Day. I've been a guest a couple of times on a table of 8 and all I can say the atmosphere and Balcony are excellent but food poor (wet ch...

Re: FA CUP HOME v SOUTH SHIELDS

Capacity is 3200 with the away end apparently holding 1100 depending where segregation kicks in. It would be great to see terracing there one day. I'd imagine South Shields to sell out their allocation so with 1500 Darlo fans a decent 2500/2600 crowd our 2nd largest since being at blackwell.

Re: £25K Needed in the next 3 weeks

Couldn't agree more, whatever happens in the future we need to secure those extra seats. It won't be the board to blame if we we don't reach our target but the desire of the fans as to whether there fundraising match their actual ambitions. Personally I feel we will get there but perhaps the time of...

Re: Raj Singh withdraws investment interest

So it was the fans' fault that Richard Cook resigned and now its the fans' fault that Raj Singh has withdrawn his investment. I'm not sure who put out these club statements but they are getting a bit predictable now. I think the statement meant that as owners and we now have 1000 owners we should a...

Re: RS Investment Poll

If you look at the amount raised on budget and pitch fund strategies, the numbers of individuals actually investing is very low, can we really relay on these individuals taking the club to the next level? Surely we can't and it's time to look at outside sizeable investment if we want to take the clu...

Re: RS Investment Poll

His 40k only gets him 9% at the moment, it doesn't state he is getting 15% shareholding just that it's the maximum he can have currently. So he wants in but not willing to let us know how far he wants to go as yet but he clearly wants more than 15%. Once in he will eventually own a large share of t...

Although I wouldn't want Raj Singh anywhere near the controls of the football club, the initial 40K is really just to buy time to set out the investment in full. It's going to take months to consider any proper takeover, and we haven't got that long to make decisions about next season's squad, ther...

Re: Raj Singh

If it is Raj he is either totally thick skinned and stupid or he feels it's unfinished business. If it's unfinished business let's give him the time to tell us why he wants to get involved again.
Put it this way there's no property involved perhaps he wants to just put things right!!

I do feel for the current board they legally can't trade knowing they will make a huge loss, the only way was to cut Martins budget and in that respect that was the right thing to do. However this is football and normal business rules never seem to apply. I hope John Tempest hangs around for him and...
