Re: Liam Hughes departs
A genuine proper guy who has learned to talk about his feelings something most of my age never do. All the best in the future Liam fight your demons and you will come out stronger and wiser.

All conjecture and gossip was it actually confirmed by the DFC board.lo36789 wrote:We know that David McGurk and Alun Armstrong turned us down. As did Wright initially.
We also know we asked to speak to Chris Hardy but he didn’t want to speak to us.

Re: Telford V Darlington
What other factors are more important for a football manager than winning games? We are not inconsistent. We are crap. We are crap because the manager has recruited poorly. We are disorganized because the manager hasn't the ability to organised and inspire a team. Our tactics are all over the place...

With only four home games left any news on when fans forum will be. It’s all gone quiet on Sporting Village or Blackwell developments and it would be interesting to see what are budget would be for next season and Tommy’s view on it.

Lets see what the excuses from Tommy Wright will be for this s*** show.

Something has got to change. Ho...

Re: Telford V Darlington
To be honest never expected a win tonight as the league table doesn’t lie. With a small squad it’s difficult and next year with a reduced budget and similar sized squad it’s likely to be the same fare. Good to Saunders score though.

Re: Early Bird Season Tickets
Early Bird is done by lots of clubs as it’s March/April when most clubs have cash problems.
I presume it’s covering staff wages to get us to the end of the season. As a fan owned club it would be good to have a quarterly overview rather than just at the AGM, would that be possible Divas?

Re: B T B Email
I’ll continue mine for one more season but imo the club needs substantial outside investment to move us forward to the National League. After speaking to SG board member at the last match there is no appetite to do so as he thinks some board members would resign. So appears we are relying on fans go...

Re: Darlington V Brackley
We might as well pack up then hey I don’t think people are saying that, but fans need to see a plan on how we proceed whether that’s DJ or DFCSG, or if we are planning 2-3 seasons at this level then come out and say it and fans can then decide whether they support it or not. Hopefully there’s still...

It’s getting to the time of year again where the club will be asking the fans to invest in the budget for next season, with crowds dropping it’ll be up to us to supplement the budget. Given last years recruitment I don’t have faith that TW can spent it wisely enough and I imagine a lot of people fe...

Re: Darlington V Southport match thread
Wasn’t pretty today but a point. Decent crowd as well which included 60 in hospitality according to Craig Morley. I wonder if that was the mild temperatures or the offer. If it worked they should do it for Wednesday night.
