Darlo Uncovered

I think that Mike Barkers objection was to the "2 for 1" happy hour drinks promotion publicised by the club last year. I suspect that the Club has a lot of LibDem (and maybe Tory) voters amongst its (now more broadly based) share ownership, so commentators would be wise to leave politics off this bo...

This all looks a bit odd now. I think that many of us would be happy to buy shares in a new company...but the devil will be in the detail. What qualifications does Jenny Chapman have to be leading this initiative? I don't think that she has a background in business or accountancy ...or even a partic...

I was involved with the York City project. The York stadium is not to be funded by the Council although they have contributed the site (the location of the existing Huntington rugby/athletics stadium). The rest of the funding is coming from section 106 contributions from the development of adjacent ...

1. You can't build a Conference standard 6000 capacity new stadium for less than £10m. (Ask York City if you think that you can) 2. Most of us aren’t interested in paying to watch BSN (or lower) standard games. Why would we if we can watch Man U, Liverpool, Man City etc at St James Park or the Stadi...

The Darlington Borough Council holds the - medium term - key to solving the problem. There is, however, zero chance of them providing revenue funding to cover the costs of running a football club. They could, however, seek to purchase the Arena and then enter into a development agreement which would...

I wouldn't give up on the Arena yet. It was criminal to knock down a £4 million new stand at Feethams. It would be doubly so to allow the same to happen at the Arena. York City, and one or two other Clubs, recognise that an aditional revenue stream is needed to sustain a lower league football team w...

Must say I was impressed by the welcome at Ebbesfleet. Immediately inside the turnstiles a bloke greeted me ande asked of I knew whether everything was (I didn't of course) and then pointed out all the facilities. I can't remember that happening before anywhere over the 50+ years that I have been tr...

There is always a solution when physical assets of this potential value are available. It needs someone to bring the different parties together. A role I would have thought that the Leader of the Council and perhaps the MP could take on initially. All Councils - Darlington is no exception - are stra...

Any news on his health?
