Darlo Uncovered

Without flapping not being able to play a saturday home match for comming up five months is a joke and would be a desaster if HP was our ground, but of course it's not our ground so as nice as the new stand is let's seriously look at finding a new home for next season either temporary out of town ma...

Bedlington had to put a defender in goal at home against Sunderland RCA on Saturday because Jack Norton never turned up. Anyone hear why that was? They got beat 3-2. My God, its anecdotes like this that remind you what a tin pot, bag-o-shite league this is :lol: Its certainly does, It shocks me on ...

I was worried about Spennys games in hand and their impossible to beat tag, I think most team in this league have been frightened by them. They love being the big fish in the small pool, so one more year down here whilst we take the promotion they have been so frightened of will serve them right.

Great a draw, we are starting to look like we have a really good chance of top spot now,

It's not hysteria, it's curiosity. Here's how it is.... My best pal has had a very unlucky life with the girls. In and out of relationships, all looking rosy for a few years but then he's been badly let down. A couple of years ago he was in love with this Indian girl, they had a dirty weekend in Lo...

Hang on we have not heard the CIC plans yet, the guys behind the CIC sound just the kind of people we need, add in some fan envovement maybe a fans advisory board and you get all of the legal and financial expertese with out the need to hire paid consultants. We will also need experts like these if ...

Why do we have so many fucking whingers following this club who do nothing but complain and whine but fail to put themselves forward to help. I know, half of them dont even have the bottle to outright criticise things they dont agree with, they just make sly digs towards volunteers doing more than ...

A positive spin and a smooth un-news worthy transition was within the gift of the CIC. They must have found 1883's affairs in such a bad state they felt they had to step in NOW. Even in these Politically correct times the CIC statement is hardly a endorsement of the 1883 running of the club.

Phew...Thank god the supporters club, trust and CIC were there with a few quid in the coffers,

Great news that the CIC is now in charge. But for 1883 to need a cash bail out of over 50k in only 12 months running the club is a sorry state of affairs, what were they thinking of running into financial difficulties so soon after "the rescue" I don't know but we move on.

Nice stats 8-) ....when I began reading I though it was going to be a spam, but I get your point. I also think along the same lines as you and thought we had moved on from day to day rebuilding of the football club and moved on to strategic plans and ground developments. But now from what little inf...

I m posting from the smart phone and should read the net more, but just looked on the 1883 website and read "the letter" not much in it but I can't say I have not revived the same info as others, this delutes my argument, still would like better communications all of this could have been a smooth tr...

Lo, I'm in the CIC, the trust, on uncovered but I'm not getting any letter, so I'm just wondering how we ever ended up with a community club "owned" not by the many but the few. I like most thought we were creating a fans owned club, i like lots of others were not wanting any medals when we fund rai...

I invested directly to the club directly last June and received confirmation that they received the money. I assume the letter referred to in the article is in the post! Those who invested directly into the football club should have received a letter with shares certificate yesterday (Saturday) or ...

No, not on our watch........Pussies.

I find it difficult to make night games but I will make extra efforts this week as the club needs more money in the coffers lets stick together and #keepcalmandcarryon

out of nowhere other “groups” were being recognised as shareholders and owners of DFC, ehh how did that happen loose groups with no constitution like Darlo Tykes, DAFTS get a say but the average fan doesn’t, and that has been the crooks of my 1883/board knocking, it has nothing to do with the peopl...

I`m a tad confused, when were these decisions made? By whom? And why weren't the owners (us) consulted? I read this last night and deliberately did not comment as it looks like I`m stirring, but as to me its an important issue here is my two penith on “owned by the fans for the fans/ us ”. Just whe...

Humm, I think It maybe a bit of a tricky time, I know you were one of the people who stepped up to the mark during the rescue group days when there were very few of us. In hindsight and without an active Trust, I suppose we did not really know what we were doing and give money to anyone without any ...

With my track record as ted_do I don’t know whether to post on this tread, but here goes. Divas thanks for getting information “out there” as the drip feeding was not helping anyone, I know something’s must be kept confidential so we cant know every thing, but it cant be forgotten we are a community...

Personally I think our aspirations have dropped far to low, for Christ sake we have 130 years of being, if not a professional football league club then at least a senior football club. I do fear we have picked up a few non league lovers and lost quite a few serious football league “boys” . I do hope...

Would a set up like Bradford PA`s be acceptable and affordable, it would suffice to NPL and give time to fund a football only ground on the next field, it would give a quick return home whilst fund raising for our own ground. http://bradfordpa.dnsupdate.co.uk/content/pages/horsfall-stadium.asp Or is...

Just been playing and the whole of the Heritage Park site...including the car parks can be fitted into the Athletics track and the existing car park (you'd need to convert the grass on the way to the astroturf into spaces. Looking at the relief road. You could rent the land (a bit like we do at the...

Anyway I dont want to go on about hills, looking at Lol`s google earth link the Eastborne site would make the ideal Hub for DFC if we built on the old school football pitches over to the east of the running track. Money will be needed to do that though but with grants for a Sporting Hub and housing ...

Ted, there are gradients down both side of the track. The land is flat behind one goal. Gradients, hardly a hill the gradients are about a metre high and are from the earth works to form the track. not a hill that will need thousands of pounds to level. Come on Lone star you know the score, I also ...

the actual track itself is not on a hill...that is not what I am saying you tool! I am saying that the land outside of the perimeter fence is on a gradient! You need flat land in order to erect these pavilions and the stands which you are talking about...Where is this flat land outside of the perim...

And I suppose they built a running track there cos they wanted to run up hill, ha ha.

Have I actually been Haha,,,HILL :crazy: Well as I live in Darlo yes I have been and played on Eastbourne I have played only last year on the running track pitch...shut man and start thinking how to raise the one million out ££££..., Right http://goo.gl/maps/4bGjc Aerial image - tell me ted where a...

Despite LoL`s saying it needs one million in reality it needs a fence round, our temp stand, portacabin changing rooms and a couple turnstiles, remember The RA were in NL1 as are Aycliffe and they have no more than that How short sighted do you want to be!? We are only in NL1 for another 2 months! ...

Just because the site has a running track does not automatically mean that the ground must be built up around it. I'm at a loss why so much focus is on this or relatively minor facilities (in terms of the total cost) like existing floodlights. Well is all just Sunday morning speculation and chewing...
