Yes might be bottling it but making extra money every year from the playoffs Probably not as much money as you think. As I understand it the gate receipts for a play off game are shared between the clubs after deduction of expenses - eg costs of hosting game, away team travel, officials costs etc. ...

Ray S gets a lot of stick from some on here and elsewhere, but I wonder if he is the correct person person to blame. Every club / Organisation can always improve their communications. Ray will only be able to make the announcements that the club permit him to do. He for example could not announce pl...

Bishop Stortford in the North?! Bloody hell.

They are further North and bearer than Oxford

It's crazy to think Bishop Stortford next to Stansted icould be classified as the North for football purposes

Interesting approach taken to fundraising https://www.bwfc.co.uk/news/2023/may/wanderers-launch-investment-bond-initiative/ This does feel like it has the potential to end in tears. It is not an insignificant amount of money being sold with an 8.5% headline teaser rate but with "capital at risk" in...

And so the misinformation is proven... The reality is BM is not a barrier to us now from a grading perspective. Let's be clear the reality is you do not get promoted from the National League if you are a part time team - to be honest to win that division you need a budget north of £4m in recent sea...

As there’s no chance of developing BM any chance of promotion would also be gone . All speculation of course, just have to wait to see what transpires. Very much speculation. It is also based on a dubious starting position which I have seen repeated a few times so suggests there is misinformation a...

North Shields appeal was dismissed yesterday and have been relegated back to the Northern League. PS however have until 30th April to pass their inspection.

Why not play at Peterborough North Star? I appreciate its not ideal but it should be okay. You have to play at an appropriately graded ground for the level that you're at. So would have to be a category B ground or above. Not an awful lot of choice around that area of the country unfortunately for ...

In the FA Trophy, we had one significant run from four, with two impressive wins over NL sides but then disgraced by lower league Hornchurch.

Has there ever been a discussion about a national league midland? There's so many teams across that middle band and the away trips seem to get more and longer every year. I suppose the problem would be increased relegation from the national league. The FA have a non league strategy to deliver a pur...

Travelling north - south is often viewed as easier than travelling east - west (due to road networks). A line from Bristol to Kings Lynn for me is generally where the north/south boundaries are drawn. Teams around that line are at risk of being put in either division. The reality is travelling from...

Anyone but Leiston given their location. Most likely one of Oxford / Braintree will be laterally transferred across to NLN. The NLN will lose 6 teams (2 up/4 down) two of which will be replaced by South Shields and Scunthorpe. If Leitston are promoted they are further north than Oxford City or the ...

Surely clubs can write in better provisions though. For example could a club write in injury clauses that revert back to the old system? There are two options on the contract one of which must be ticked. https://ibb.co/92r1ngC Either; - The player's full basic wage - Club sick pay and thereafter SS...

No idea what you are taking issue with. I have stated the law on Football Banning Orders. You however are quoting a random story on the radio about persons unknown, alleged to have committed offences unknown and been sentenced by an unknown court. There is no criminal offence of causing anti social...

Think you a missing a point here, while I get what you say, and agree, a national ban is impossible to enforce, if someone goes against 1 and is then in trouble again the law has a stronger hand when taken back to court as the person starts from the point, "You should not have been there.

It could give Darlington another 12 months to get site of ground resolved, funding sorted and planning permission sorted.

I'm not sure how long we are given to upgrade our stadium to conference standards, but the hope of using a "new stadium in the pipeline" as a special mitigating circumstance are receding as there is no news on progress on that front.

So my answer to your question would be - possibly. Definitely a threat anyway, something like "DFC may take legal action against any individual who is found to have done XYZ at a football match" That only works if the FA fine us. We need the FA fine to say "DFC will pursue damages suffered against ...

Those that don't feel the club should lose out financially due to the actions of an individual would they support the club in a civil action to achieve this?

spen666

Sorry, I worded that badly. I'm totally with the idea of punishing individuals and trying to improve fan behaviour and the game experience for everyone. I just don't think fining us is appropriate when we had no control over ticketing and we as a club appear to have done everything we could after t...
