Darlo Uncovered

Got to agree, at times it was almost like being back in the tin shed in Block 18 (or should I say The Craig Liddle Stand), plenty of singing, jokey comments, great view of the 2nd goal, standing up throughout the game and even a bit of argy-bargy at the back! Oh and I've got to thank the bar staff, ...

Pete, this holier than thou attitude of yours gets on my tits. So she's not at the game and earns more money than you blah blah. You're just a miserable sod these days.

Fat Clem was really squirming when both Danny Mills and Craig Hignett had a pop at him about Darlo, he didn’t know what to say.

What a cold fish Mr Hodcarrier is. He showed no emotion at all about the town, the club, or the supporters. He even compared buying players to buying a new piece of machinery!

Darlington AFC I suppose. Or Darlington (2012) FC.

I do like Locomotive Darlington, but we would be open to such comments as 'the team ran out of steam' etc. in every match report.

We must keep the same colours, and hoops!

Just a tip about collecting. When my daughter was at university in Newcastle, she often collected for RAG week at St James’. She collected the highest amount one year by standing with a bucket next to the programme sellers. Passers by who’d just bought a programme already had change in their hand an...

I heard that staff were given 7 weeks to look for another job - and that was 5 weeks ago. Again, I hope this isn't genuine.

What difference does it make to us 'fans' whether Raj tells us this or not? We all know that the club cannot afford to bring in new players, or even pay the ones we've got. This is really no surprise.

“Anyone who strikes over pensions is a c***”

That’s the most stupid, inane comment I’ve read on this board for a long time.

MB86DFC, I think you are either on a wind up or are incredibly immature.

I’m not sure if this is genuine but I heard this morning that the Gateshead game will be our last, and that is when Raj is pulling out. Some staff have been told there’s only 7 weeks to go. Probably bollocks I hope.

First - Yes (who had Rick Wakeman on keyboards) at Newcastle City Hall - 1973.

Last - Imelda May (fantastic!) at The Barbican, York - last Friday.

Jimmy Page may well have played on the record, but Joe used The Greaseband for live shows. Jimmy was a well-used session musician in the mid-sixties and played on many hit records. I think he played on 'It's Not Unusual' by Tom Jones!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yINAVEfZ56k&feature=related In this great video of Joe performing With A Little Help From My Friends live in 1968, he is supported by The Greaseband, the guitarist being Henry McCullough, who later became a member of Paul McCartney’s wings. This is my favourite version...

Mick, thanks for posting this. Always liked The Smiths, and Radiohead are currently the greatest band in the world - yes they are! They also also do a Joy Division cover, who were another favourite of mine. I'm off to see Imelda May tomorrow night which should be good - to listen to and to look at ;)

I think the 4 you've listed is enough!

I’d probably lose interest in football somewhat. If AFC Darlo rises like a phoenix from the flames I would go to a few games, but if this means starting at the bottom of the football pyramid, I might just end up at Northallerton Town to watch a ‘live’ game.

Bob,
make yourself useful and go walk your dog up and down Neasham Road, and don’t post again until you see Southgate driving into the arena.

Some reports say he's dead, others just shot in the legs. No doubt he'll be dead soon one way or the other. As for ending the trouble in Libya, I doubt it, once the various tribes fall out with each other.

Wolves
Sheffield Wed
Plymouth
Port Vale

Rangers
Ayr Utd

Darlo 16th in Div 4, just above Workington. Pools 19th.

This made me feel very old!

The argument sketch is obviously my favourite. Yes it is...

Just seen a photo of the crash at the bridge. It looks like the whole of the top deck of the bus was torn off. It's a wonder no one was killed.

Andy,
in order to keep Spyman happy, I don't know of anyone who lives in the Grimsby area who can offer you a lift. Happy now?

Yes, but he must get pissed off with people having a go at him every time he posts. If you can't answer his question don't reply.

I was on a course yesterday and we had to discuss 'scope creep'. Don't ask!

If as Love it! says, you can’t use the ticket on Saturday, this means two trips to the stadium for those of us who don’t live in Darlo. This cost uses up any saving on the ticket price. What a shambles.

The sarcastic tone of your posts can get a bit wearing at times, Q.

From BBC website: Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has agreed to lift his ban on talking to the BBC. Ferguson began his boycott of the broadcaster in 2004 after it made allegations against his son, Jason, in a TV documentary. A statement said: "Sir Alex and the BBC have put behind them th...

Jeez, I remember this. 1966? It did sound like a male voice choir singing. Bet you can't find it on i-tunes!

It's a copyof the 1970 world cup ball. If it makes us play like Brazil then that's OKwith me.

I’m not sure if you were there Q, but I thought the last Forum at Northallerton was very good. I tend to agree that there is something psychological about paying £18 (+£5 to park) to watch a conference game.
