Darlo Uncovered

Does anyone know why the Falcons are/were considering the Arena anyway? I used to work just over the road from the Kingston Park ground which is quite a tidy little place. I fail to see why they would want to move a decently, but not massively, supported rugby team out of a perfectly good site in t...

Proposed plans ? Groundshare for 1 season Come back to Darlington and play at Blackwell Meadows - which is reportedly being re-developed. Might have something to do with this Google Darlington Borough Council Core Strategy and point 8.2.4 alludes to this ? http://www.planvu.co.uk/dbc/written/cs/cpt...

Wembley made little difference, the club sat on it and didn't use it to their advantage.

agree with you there Q. I would love to know how much we have paid our commercial people over the years, because I bet they don't make us much

I heard that the East Stand made money. Was it the brilliant 'honest George' who made that claim

cheers. Make sure you beat York. I have a mate that is from darlo that supports york...doesn't make much sense I know

watch i horror at a bad outcome being made worse it seems to me (a first time poster but regular visitor to the arena) the descision to play at shildon.There is no doubt in my mind a club cannot carry the burden of cost the arena has,so the club must find a temporary stadium to play at ,shildon is ...

If this is the outcome, why bother with all the fund raising, save Darlo etc. etc.? The people of this town who pledged hard cash have been completely misled. What we are going to be left with could have been delivered by being liquidated in January and the Taylors/Trust (God Forbid) taking charge....

I think 1883 sold an unrealistic scenario. Everything was going to be fine, we'd run the club at break even, we'd be able to pay off all the debt, and we'd finally make money from the stadium. I guess now people feel a bit let down, but the reality was that is was never going to work. We'll lose so...

whats the alternative? waste time at the arena clocking up the debt. Seems like people are making excuses.

I will be there whatever

That'll be me done with it all unfortunately. I only get to 5-8 regular season home games as it is. Driving 4 hours to Darlington is one thing, driving a bit further to end up in Shildon or Bish can fuck right off. But what if it's just a temporary thing, say for one season? Yes if it was for one s...

I dont know what to make of this, I can see the benefit of having a backup plan but moving out of Darlo with no money or hope of quickly (if Ever) returning to the town is not a plan at all...... its suicide, a community club not based in its community :crazy: If that`s the future then I am out... ...

The big question is if we play there, will we ever leave? I really hope this is all contingency planning and that our home will remain the Arena, for the short/medium term at least. My main concern is that if we play at a ground below BSN level, we'll never be promoted and then we'll just be anothe...

I'd take a look at a lot of them, considering we might be in evo stik.

Gate and Moore would be excellent.

Shame Fisher didn't get released.

Take a look at York's released list when that is done too

people can grow up to 21 Can they? I am pretty sure of this. I remember doing it in school. It showed the difference between women and mens growth, how women grow early and men grow late. Wow the system works, I can actually remember things from school! I'm also sure Stockdale did it too, he came b...

people can grow up to 21

Any groundshare must be temporary otherwise IMO the club is finished! I'd rather we started again right at the bottom tier from scratch as long as it meant football being played in the town! Someone needs to come forward with a statement ASAP to keep us all in the loop! No statement is going to be ...

As darlo fans we just have to accept that the next couple of seasons is going to be tough.

Lets keep the faith, lets keep supporting them and hopefully we can get back up.

Lets also see what the next few days bring before we make uninformed opinions. (or will i get shot down for saying this)

I think that we'll struggle to get any friendlies against bigger clubs, as most if not all of them have sorted out there pre-season freindly schedule before now. there is also a danger that if we do get a friendly against a bigger club, that they may only send a youth team, due to our fall down the...

enlighten me ok?

Yes but this would be on the basis of him being on £250 a week which he won't accept, especially with travel costs from Huddersfield. I reckon someone like guiseley might take a look

Carolyn - I'll take one, haven't had a chance yet.

Make sure Phil buys one. Don't care if its 30 degrees out there

Liddle knew how to manage him
Mowbray knows how to manage him

Cooper did not...Cooper was not a manager of people

Mowbray knows how to get the best out of people

I want to keep: Bowman Lee (in some capacity) McCready (Although I think someone will come in for him, but will have to be for money) Lambert Harrison Ramshaw Hopson I would keep all the other youths (ferguson, barton etc) Let go: Rundle Wainwright Arnison Keltie Broughton Would keep but don't think...

I think Cooper mainly turned us down cause he was only getting offered till the end of the season. Can't we make up a squad of say 9/10 full timers, 6 part-timers and the rest made up from loans/youth etc (although the youths might have to be included in the full/part timers) I would try get Bowman ...

I spoke to Liddle about Lambert a few weeks ago, he basically said that he has great talent but physically can't handle more than 15-20 mins in an ideal world. The same happened with Harrison, if he didnt stop him when he did, he'd have been out for 11 months rather than 2-3 months. Thank you very m...

This is a hypothetical question. I assume that Liddle does not want to continue as manager (I hope for our sake that he stays with the youth team to finish what he started). We are almost certain to be in Blue Square North, who would you want to pick as manager? (as we probably have to start thinkin...

RPMI at the minute. Waiting to see how many turns up for Uncovered. The list was about 30 odd but its slowly coming down.

I wouldn't mind playing for both, but I expect to be starting for RPMI

Hello all, As a fellow organiser of this event I am asking for people to please come down and support us. We have (hopefully) 50-60 coming down from RPMI, and hope to have as many as we can. Please mention it to your friends and family! This event is hoping to raise funds for Darlington FC, but we c...

chester

shows they are thinking about it properly and actually putting that into action. We've had a chance to do this for years
