Re: York sack another manager

Think it expected that Henderson leaves next week with the trust borrowing money to pay him off, and several offers to take over to be voted on, decision on whether it is 51% or 100% of shares being on offer to prospective buyers.

Re: New faces

Although Beck will be a miss, I thought we played well when Beck was injured with Hazel playing number 9. Also at times AA has played Hazel and Beck with lambert and Felix really playing as wingers, which left 2 midfielders, who on occasion just got overrun. This may allow him to have 3 midfield pla...

Re: Darlington v Chorley 07/01/23

Thought we played really well for about 30 mins, without really troubling the keeper. Thought keeper hand ball was obvious red card, and from my view Beck push looked a penalty as he was favourite for the ball, but he did go down easy. Not sure about Felix decisions as on other side to me but as ref...

Re: 2,300 tickets sold for Boxing day as of 18th Dec (Now 2,700 pre-sold - ONLY 3 STANDING TICKETS LEFT FOR DARLO FANS)

Totally agree that may be our best team and Scarborough are a good team with fast pace, my point was that Moke and Purver run there socks off in the first half as they were outnumbered in midfield and may have needed a little support mid way through the second half so maybe Liddle on for one of the ...

Re: 2,300 tickets sold for Boxing day as of 18th Dec (Now 2,700 pre-sold - ONLY 3 STANDING TICKETS LEFT FOR DARLO FANS)

To be honest given they had not had a game since 3rd Dec, they looked more lively than us and not rusty at all, I felt for Moke and Purver they were the only midfield we had and run their socks off but always in recovery mode and tired in the second half, Feix did little in support of midfield or de...

" That might not be correct as it appears we have taken 100 of Scarboroughs tickets remaining tickets this far and we may be given more. They have 168 standing"


Do we know when these extra 100 tickets will be going on sale, zero shown on Web site.

Re: Guiseley V Darlo

Second best over the park, Guiseley look sharper and fitter than us plus better organised with space all over the pitch. First game against a team that are committed and with a bit of skill?. On first half evidence, this could be a hard season, but who knows second half we may turn up.
