Darlo Uncovered

Whatever questions you have, be sure to fire them across as it may not get asked otherwise. Agreed. Don't miss this opportunity - all it takes is an email. Clearly the Board will not answer any direct questions regarding the Manager's position as they have stated this a few weeks ago. I have theref...

and Darlington have today signed right sided player Alex Wollerton on loan from Leeds United for a month. Alex, 19, had a two year scholarship at Leeds before signing a professional contract in June last year. He has experience with Leeds’ Under 18 and Under 23 sides. We would like to thank Leeds f...

Yep I enjoyed watching it too. "Without Darlington it would have been nothing" Has he forgotten what good playing career he had!

Apparently his parents wanted to name him after their favourite Beach Boys song, but got a letter wrong on his birth certificate!

Just saw that and thought the same. Seems strange that we would give him a pay rise substantial enough for him to quit the day job. He's not going to be training full time and you wouldn't think we'd be paying him to take on any coaching, even in the academy, at this stage in his career. From Faceb...

D.J's considering putting him on the transfer list - that's what I've heard.

Apparently he is refusing to go out on loan and he's going to sit out his 2 year MG contract!

Yep

You just know what's going to happen on Saturday now don't you!

So a managerial vacancy at one of TW's former clubs interesting.......

I presume Syers moved on a "Free," but accept we have offloaded the highest paid player at the Club?

I'm not certain relegation will be a catastrophe, as long as we have a manager in place that can inspire the supporters. It might give us the breathing space to rebuild properly, and won't result automatically in a huge drop in income because you get so little from the league at this level anyway. ...

Syers was on £800 a week FACT was never worth that....another MG mistake. Right decision to get rid.

They've always cluster wanked over insignificant piss pot amateur rugby clubs and cricket clubs though haven't they? Fuck the football club who are comparative giants, they can sort themselves out. Take a step back...….are we really "comparative giants"? Depends how you measure this, if it is home ...

All this talk of new managers is pointless, especially when we still have someone still in charge. All we can do is continue to back TW & AW irrespective of how poor it may seem right now. I disagree it makes perfect sense to sound out potential candidates and a younger NL or evostick manager is re...

At least we can concentrate on this now and not have the distraction of a possible trip to Wembley after tonight.

Back to the music.

This is the month that Harvey became a genuine first team player. He is by no means the finished article as a couple of his decisions in the final third last night proved, but along with many others, I'm rather happy to eat humble pie as he has come on a long, long way and made a significant contri...

At least he is used to not winning in NLN. Hasn't he only played in one winning team this season? This bloke is an Albatross!

Then he could have been on the bench for us and got some match day experiance? Though I accept we had Burn as cover for defenders.

It is Catch 22 isn't it this way he always remain 4th choice?

I am getting bored with this now. I liked him the few games I saw him play, thought he looked composed and fit. Clearly though he is not in TW's plans?

Interesting one that cup game. Obviously nobody's that bothered how we get on in that cup, but quite a few first tamers got a run out to build fitness, which is a bit risky but makes s but of sense. I think they were all, except glover, players who live locally though, which again sort of makes sen...

I've heard that Alfreton paid 60k for Reece. Tops what we paid last season & also takes a hefty wage off the wage bill. Reece's Tweet refers to HIM bringing in nearly £60,000 to the Club. Must admit when I read this I took this to include the Marathon Bet figure as well. Perhaps the fee was nearer ...

I am not knocking what he achieved with us in his short period here, we will miss him, but Facts do not lie...……... According to Wiki, this is Reece's 15th Club in 14 years. He did stay 4 years at Forest Green, outside these 14 years. If I was an Alfreton fan I don't think I would have his name prin...

We're averaging over 1400 (about the same as last season)- so it makes me wonder what we actually budgeted for with the quote 'we set a budget for the season based on basic crowd levels, but unfortunately those haven’t been forthcoming' Exactly..........What is the big secret DJ, what did you budge...

Gramps, did you really mean to say "stars"?!! What we need is consistency, a settled team playing for each other. Looking forward to FC United now and hoping the rest has done some good. Gramps has gone all Brian Cox on us! There is nothing that he has said that you can't disagree with though Peopl...
