Darlo Uncovered

Not disagreeing with you, but its astounding that you (and others) have Nelson in the 'keep' pile given what the consensus was around him a couple of months ago. It's because he wasn't scoring and we weren't scoring as a whole. It did feel like he was never going to score again at one point. That w...

Not sure exactly who is contracted for next season, other than Nelson, but of those under contract, who would you move on if we could do so? None - unless Asante is one. I just want all traces of Clowning out of this great club. I'm pretty sure Main and Hatfield are contracted for next season. I th...

Sort of a shame he never got a goodbye game. Assume he must have an offer lined up somewhere. Left by mutual consent so suits both parties. Who is next? I'd say Sukar but if he doesn't have a club lined up or isn't fit to play then he may as well see out the final weeks of his contract. Then I'd ex...

Ah yes I was just focussing on the away end. I thought the exclusion zone ended somewhere between where the 6 yard line and 18 yard line hit the goal line. The point is there is enough space to build another off centre terrace there - if there was deemed to be value in doing so - and would most lik...

Def think some banked standing at the way end would really help possibly something we can take with us if we move. Have to get the RC onside though and that’s the hard job but people views do change. The rugby clubs only issue is they don't want their clubhouse knocked down - and based on plans tha...

Fully yes. The pipe only restricts at most a third of the away end. We know there is enough space to develop to step 1 standard. Not quite true. It restricts up to half of the away end and also part of the main stand side - it runs diagonal through the stadium footprint. There's a reason the stand ...

Job most definitely not done. It is still very much in Rushall’s hands, if they beat us they are 2 points behind us with a game in hand, and that game is against Bishop Stortford. All we have to do is win 2 of our last 6 matches (3 if you want to be sure), regardless of whether Rushall is one of th...

It is a tad disingenuous to infer that an increase in playing budget is either irresponsible or out of line with other clubs at our level. Equally, any poorer financial performance eventuially reported for 2023/24 is entirely predictable and not uncommon for poorer performing teams. In short, these...

Me personally I would go full strength at Rushall and hopefully get the win which realistically barring a complete capitulation would see us pretty much safe. Then I'd be giving a day off to the likes of Barrow, Main, Cornish in the Chorley game. Are you stupid? The lads are being ran into the grou...

Just read a really good summary and breakdown of the last set of accounts recently published. Half understand it now and was very informative. Not a moan, honest. Just genuinely do not understand which roles makes up this figure of £185k on “ Management Staff wages” . Seems like a massive figure fo...

What’s happened at Scarborough?

In their last ten games - no wins, 3 points, and they’ve scored 1 goal.

I don't know what's happened at Scarborough because their gobshite fans have gone quiet.

They were all over our Twitter feed giving it rock all, now...silence.

I agree Clearly a massive error giving the job to Gowling. I hope the board have reflected on the decision making process that allowed such a bad mistake to be made. However, credit to them for correcting the mistake - and it looks like they did so just in time. I seem to remember there was a schoo...

To be fair 97 is correct. The appointment of JG was questioned right back when the decision to employ him was made. I was another not totally sure it would work out and when weighing up the credentials it smacked of a desperate punt on something different (JG) rather than the tried and tested (SW)....

All we have to do is not lose at Rushall.

Plenty other matches to scrape a few more points together.

Job is not done yet, but we have got ourselves in a position nobody would have ever believed just over a month ago. Stay up and this will be like a mini promotion. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240317/49c66eccc712cac71d1d16ec2deeadfb.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Just done the maths a...

It really is incredibly impressive and while the board received a lot of criticism over some of the decisions they made over the last 15 months, they equally deserve some credit for getting the appointment of Watson & Mitchell spot on, as well as the decision to ask the owners for extra funding to ...

Next week reminds me of our game v Colchester in 89. Not win or bust, but certainly not lose. I say that because Bishops Stortford is one of their games in hand. 89 was roles reversed, as we were on an OK run, but Colchester was on a great run, and we crumbled under the pressure of the occasion. Wi...

Only disagreement is I think Kings Lynn will drop instead of Blyth.

No chance.

Yes.

After he tried to bring Radged back because he wanted more money, we ended up doing the first BTB off the back of that. We raised around 43k IIRC.

Gray left for York not far into that first BTB season.

Also, it's looking like York are in big danger of dropping back down to this level.

I hope they don't come asking SW to go back.

Said it before but we will stay up with room to spare. Not that I have *any* interest in the teams around us because all we have to do is take care of our own business - but Blyth (who are shite) and Farsley could be dragged right in to it. There's always a couple of teams who drop like a stone at t...

I know Nelson hasn't scored very many this season but he's a far superior player to Curry and we look a lot more threatening with Nelson in the team. Cornish is doing very well again tonight but Salkeld has vanished after a good first 10 minutes.

Blyth playing good football but Matty Young is levels above this league and so assured. I'm not knocking Tommy Taylor who has been a good servant to this club but I do think Young has gained us extra points in his loan spell from making saves that TT might not have got to? Great distribution as well...

Quite a decent unofficial preview this, although Gowling and Asante won't be so keen on it .... https://www.blythsgreenarmy.co.uk/darlington-12-03-2024-preview-supporter-info/?fbclid=IwAR2nLd1QH8TtR-WGBgIIVfeUCzuxNuZUsL872zmBDn0iQq6Zk6M_qlG5u04 I enjoyed reading the Blyth preview - fair and fratern...

As I've said before, I expect us to stay up comfortably with room to spare - ie done before the last day, and losing at Spendy doesn't change that. We were never going to win every single match until the end of the season. Obviously mounting injuries are a concern, so we could probably do with a cou...

Blyth, Rushall, Farsley and Southport matches are the definitive six-pointers. However, after the performances and results of the last 4 games prior to yesterday, I'd not rule out picking up points at home to Peterborough Sports and even Chorley. Warrington away will be difficult and ideally we don...

Losing 2-1, but we'll come good..... It sounds like it could go either way. I'll not be too disheartened if we lose (as long as we don't get hammered), because Spendy are in great form. We'd still be 5 from 7 with 3 winnable matches coming up, and at least we're creating plenty of chances. I'll mor...

A full time investor is the way forward for me for the club to get back to the league but that’s very unlikely to happen.

Massive socialist in wanting handout shocker.

Fascinating for a first post and a link I can't open and interesting that Kali has posted a reply for the first time in three years. Mates or the same person. Suspicious behaviours or maybe genuine? Me too, please enlighten us :roll: The name attached to the link is Lee Kilcran who was at one time ...
