Darlo Uncovered

I've been going to football matches for over 40 years and segregation of some sort is the normal and sensible thing to do. Did anyone bat an eyelid when we were put in our own special stand, away at Halifax?? I doubt it - because segregation used fairly and properly helps to stop potential problems ...

I still think the board need to hold the reigns on Gray who's ambition could take him further than the Club can How can you "hold the reigns" on someones ambition? Ambition is what makes most people tick. The whole team needs to be ambitious. Would we have pulled off the amazing end to last season ...

More definitely than probably

In a friendly non controversial way

Gary Brown was unlucky and lucky at the same time. The foul he got cautioned for wasn't even a foul never mind soft the ref wasn't helped by his AR there. 100% dive. couldn't believe it. Dive is harsh player was stumbling tried to put his weight onto brown but brown didn't provide the surface to ba...

This is a problem. Previously the temporary seating at H.P would have been ideal for young children - Mark, is it worth standing right at the near end of the Tin shed, away from the centre bit? Or possibly on top of the grass at the other end? The tinshed should be home fans only... Same as the seat...

100% dive. couldn't believe it.

I was a bit far away to see this, but I'm sure the ref was running away with his back turned and didn't see it at all - he turned and saw the ball on the deck with Beck activated and presumed a foul had taken place. I suppose if you don't see it you can't give it, but then again Beck got booked!

Teams like Nuneaton will kill off football as a spectator sport - dire to watch and Darlo got sucked in. I agree in some ways, but they can play as they want ... everywhere we tried to put the ball, 2 or 3 blue shirts immediately turned up to thwart us, and we had no answer. Agree with onewayup on ...

Is M.G. under the thumb? He couldn't make the last game remember....

Hopefully Tommy Wright will get a good reception when he returns as manager of Nuneaton. Why?.He was at the club for 5minutes. 21 goals in 76 games across two spells (so says good old Wikipedia, anyway) and a member of the FA Trophy winning squad. Although I'd personally give him a much warmer welc...

Remember at Bishop we got £0 from bar sales You sure about this?? That's what MJ stated at forums anyway - but not in a bad way as at the same time confirmed there isn't much money in it anyway. I'm not sure about this. When we first kicked off at Bishop I remember talk of the bar deal being a 50/5...

You sure about this??

4 goalkeepers playing would make it tricky for the opposition, they wouldn't be expecting that.

Not sure I follow you here .......

I was surprised by the strength of feeling about this ("the deal") yesterday at Halifax.

It was the number one talking point for many before and after the game -- the cost of the pies/drinks, who's setting the prices/where's the money going/when will there be info released about what's going on?

In an ideal world we could take him out of the firing line. However, there isn't a ready made temporary replacement and as supporters we need to build him back up not knock him down. The is currently far more with our defending, particularly with the ball and runners breaking through our midfield, ...

The mysterious deflection!

I never saw it at the time, others never saw it, I can't see it on the highlights and Gregan never spotted it - but says some of the players saw it come off Marrs.

Shame there's no behind the goal footage re Halifax's first.

When you buy shares in a private or public limited company that does not entitle you to see all their contracts with third party supplier, to see the commercial agreements their have with commercial partners why do you believe this case is any different? I see your point in most of what you've put ...

What about this lad? Seems very confident.

Not a big job in the scheme of things. A digger/couple of men/bit of concrete.

If I am honest whilst I like that Karen is sticking up for Darlo fans I think she needs to back off from causing any issues at this point. Seems very clear the deal involves the Rugby Club wanting to complete refreshments and making some money out of the football fans. In all honesty not totally ag...

I was just about to write this ........ but Spyman beat me to it. You could call replacing Jameson 'abandoning his development', but you could apply that term to dozens of other players who haven't made the grade - ultimately if they don't improve to the standard we need them to then we move them on...

Second issue, the rugby club are hiking prices on football match days versus what rugby club members pay. 33% extra on a pint and 53% extra on a tea/coffee. No one likes feeling they are being taken for a ride. Constructive views - not criticism, tea was £1 at H.P. (upstairs bar) now £2 and not nic...

Nice bit of writing Feethams66

Unless the Rugby Club stop charging steep prices - which I am sure that they don't charge their members (£4 a pint?!) - then fans will take their money elsewhere and drink in town. Marquee or no marquee. Good point. £2 for small cool tea is OTT, and making prices too high in my view is counterprodu...

Very sad.

The golden age of Rock (60's/70"s) has gone - and now, yet another of it's stars.

I reckon the pubs, petrol stations and shops will miss us too. Before we played there I'd only been up that way a handful of times, then for 4 years plus I was spending on a regular basis. HP is obviously the most successful ground associated with our football club but I also can't think of any othe...

It's obviously right for us now to move on, but personally, I'm going to miss driving up to Bish, having a pint/meal in the March Hare then walking across to the ground to watch the Footy ..... and on one occasion win the 50/50. The last few years have been eventful and enjoyable - and to me, the su...
