Darlo Uncovered

Following the debacle of the Kendal game I emailed the League with my thoughts and asked for their comments. No reply or acknowledgement to my original e mail or to my follow up a week later.

I agree with Rufusuk. I posted the following on the official DFC facebook feed: "Not too bad for me as only got as far as Wetherby (30 mins. from home) when I heard the match was off. I'd be mightily pissed off if I was a Prescott fan having set off seeing the first match definitely ON statement. Po...

Well I can't make it to the rearranged fixture so if anyone would like my validated ticket stub from the original match to get free entry just send me a PM.

update: ticket now gone

Confirmed Match OFF (DFC facebook @ 11:38)

I too have been in contact with Dave - totally professional, friendly and a credit to the Club.

and me too - happy memories.

It was £500 - IT glitch meant that my pledge was taken twice.

Currently liaising with Squareknot to get this rectified and the totals amended.

Don't be shy!

Every (male!) should get them out and check.

Thanks to Harrogate Railway for an enjoyable afternoon. Excellent stewarding and parking, £5 entrance, good value drinks and eats plus a very friendly welcome. Darlo played within themselves, the sloping and heavy pitch didn't seem to suit our passing style of play. Think Bell should practise his ki...

Congratulations on providing such a great service.

Much appeciated.

I'm looking for an away youth shirt We only have Xxl in away at the mo, soon as new delivery comes I'll post on uncovered Charlie - I phoned the shop yesterday (Wednesday) wanting an XXL away shirt and was told that they had none in stock, this was also confirmed in response to an e mail that I sen...

I live 100 miles south of Darlington but will be visiting relatives tomorrow (14/8) so thought I'd call into the Club shop to get a shirt. Have just phoned the shop to check on sizes - they advised delivery will be in another couple of weeks or so and that they are 'having problems'. Disappointed fo...

What have I done to deserve this? Pet Shop Boys/Dusty Springfield

Actually the OP might want to e-mail Appleby and ask him about that.

Think I've done enough already!

Nobody questions that Darlington FC are going for top spot. This ruling makes our task of promotion very difficult. There is another club that has a better record than us (average points per game AND average goal difference per game). It will also mean that if we finish second we will have more poi...

I have seen a lot of speculation on the messageboard on the number of teams to be promoted from the Northern League at the end of the season. This morning I emailed the FA asking two questions: 1. How many teams will be promoted from the Northern League at the end of the 2012/13 season? 2. If one of...

Put me down for £10.00

micra3 - thanks for your reassurance.

However these comments have me worried!

although the above reference our first away match of the season albeit at home!

I sent the following to questions@dfc1883.co.uk on 30/07/12, sadly no acknowledgement or reply so am reposting here in the hope of a response. Dear DFC1883: I live in West Yorkshire and travel to Darlington matches when I can. I see that tickets for home matches are only available for purchase in pe...

Well, here's my attempt:

Well I for one have sent a short message of thanks.

I hope that others will too so that Mr. Madden knows how much we all appreciate his hard work.

Pet Shop Boys - "What Have I Done To Deserve This?"

I too am just back from the game - for the first time in 40 years of supporting Darlington I left before the final whistle (but only 5 minutes!). The team started quite brightly though after a couple of easy misses went downhill rapidly thereafter. Woeful passing, poor shooting and a general sense o...

What a simple, well laid out and informative web-site!

Can I agree on how much better the Radio Humberside commentary is than that provided by Radio Tees (bring back Andrew!). Knowledgeable, informed, enthusiastic commentators that seem to enjoy their job! I don't know if the powers that be at Radio Tees read this messageboard, but if they do, I trust t...

Darlo Since 68/Andrew:

I really enjoyed your commentary - it was so refreshing to hear your passion!

Well done - I look forward to hearing you again.

Back in 1973 London Weekend Television made a documentary about Darlington Football Club as part of the Frost Programme series. This was broadcast across the ITV network on 25/03/1973. I can just about remember watching this with my Dad all those years ago. I thought it would be nice if it was possi...
