Re: What's the point of fan ownership?

The only relevant point is this posters reasoning for the post. He's trying to stir up trouble. Fan owned is best scenario for our club at this present time . that should be all he needs.past DFCSG member. I initially posted having not read the document - which I have now done.

Re: What's the point of fan ownership?

Just because our current model/management structure isn't perfect, it doesn't mean the only suitable alternative is to sell the club.

We can tweak and restructure what we have without ripping everything up.

Re: Darlington v Banbury 2/03/24

The real deal is having a manager who is just down to knowing the basics required to win games. Not over complicating things and a million miles from what JG was attempting to do.

Re: Darlington v Banbury 2/03/24

Mad when you think we managed to lose twice to the worst team in the league. Should have been an easy 6 points. I thought that yesterday. And they're comfortably the shittest, complete whipping boys for everyone but us! What a difference even 4 points would've made! Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using T...

Not sure your point holds up. Playing football with a sore arm is a fair bit easier than playing football with a sore groin!

Great trivia. I forgot anyone had fielded a all english squad at all in the premier league era. Bound to be a game soon where no english player is in the starting 11. On another note who was the last english manager to win a major trophy, im taking a punt on harry redknapp 16 year ago That's happen...

Re: Curzon V Darlington

Their keeper could barely stand up, yet we weren't shooting. And what was even more mystifying were the short corners or outswinging corners instead of getting the ball under the crossbar. We had 9 shots in the second half. How many up until Hatfield's goal? 0 or 1 perhaps. There are 6 on the highl...

They're fine. As with the home kits, not sure what people expect really?

I've voted for 4 but I'd be happy with 3 as I always regret not getting that burgundy kit we had a few years ago when we played at Bishop Auckland.

Correct (although both already guessed above)!

Gareth Southgate also a member of the same team.

Any keeper who has made it to semi-pro level, no matter how inexperienced, should be more capable playing in goal than an outfield player (with the odd exception where you have someone who has a decent level of experience in goal). Positioning and technique from someone who has been coached properly...

In the absence of Ginge and his stat machine, I've had a look at the fixtures for the bottom seven (realistically, the others are clear of being dragged into the relegation places). Even (rose-tintedly) allowing for us having the best record (W4 D5 L2), we still go down on goal difference. Might ne...

The only hope I cling onto is putting it that we need 6 more points than Kings Lynn, 7 more points than Banbury and 8 more points than Southport out of the 36 that there are to play for. We play Banbury and Southport so that is where we need 3 of them need to come from... I'd say we need 6 points f...

Only so much you can do with a hooped shirt, other than the collared shirt (which looks a bit like a golf top to me), they're all much of a muchness and all completely fine if you ask me.
