Darlo Uncovered

I fear the answer may be to risk a scratch team in the fa Cup and try to get some players fit over the next two weeks. Absolutely not. The league season is over as far as play-offs are concerned After eleven games last season, Blyth were on the same number of points as us and only above us by virtu...

Bit strange that a new squad photo was being taken in front of the tinshed at around 2pm yesterday. Apparently it is connected with a new sponsor. Does anybody know anything about this?

It was for the last few Boost The Budget people (myself included) who hadn't made it to previous photoshoots.

Dear me here's another comedian. Every club should have realistic ambition, it's what drives football. Just as well you lot weren't running man city when the oil money turned up.

And what do you suppose is going to happen to City when the oil money goes away?

I know it's early in the season but just for a bit of continuous comparison, am I right in thinking that we have more points at this stage than at this point last year after 5 matches?

After 5 games last season: P5 W1 D2 L2 F10 A12 Pts 5
After 5 games this season: P5 W2 D1 L2 F8 A7 Pts 7

Also. Can a mod please edit the title... to either Ariana or Arena, but this half way house is annoying

Done. Thank u. Next.

(I WAS tempted to change it Ariana, I'll admit it )

Looking at the heavens, Rivers should be the main man on Saturday

Or we could see if Willo Flood fancies a game...

I've locked and archived it away - discussion's done now, the club have dealt with it, you've all had a chance to tell your stories. Let's leave it there and look ahead to starting to pick up some positives on the pitch, starting Wednesday.

I've put the first fixture in the PL for here, along with all the new signings. Should be good to go, but I'll leave it up to micra3 to keep it up to date from here.

The above is SPAM.

I'll remove it now, but please report any that you spot in future using the report post button so that the mods get notified - thanks.

Another one for the "out" list as Tom Elliott goes to Hednesford: http://www.hednesfordtownfc.com/2019/06 ... -the-squad

Name's not ringing any bells here...

If we are to look into the Northern League, Mark Fitzpatrick of Dunston or Michael Sweet would be good picks! Fitzpatrick might do OK - or there's Craig Hutchinson from Billingham who've just won the second division - 42 goals last season (and 51 a couple of seasons ago). Not sure how old either of...

Enjoy raising even more funds just to keep yourselves afloat

This is how fan ownership works. Something you may have to discover for yourselves if Brad ever decides there's nowt left in the bank.

Same statement was posted on Spenny's Twitter account as well. Fair play, the media does love a bit of spin

I thought Warrington were in our league, didnt they beat Shields in final, or has it all changed There's then a "super playoff" between the playoff winners of the four leagues at that level. The two winners from those will move up. I think this is a one off for this season ahead of restructuring th...

Think you are right Gramps, Emma Hayes has a good background and would be a great candidate.Would she work with Whitey though as his language gets a bit strong.

There hasn’t been a podcast for a while, will there be an end of season roundup? Anybody........... It was mentioned on Darlo fans radio there would be one possibly this week summarising the season. Sent from my moto g(6) play using Tapatalk Yep, this. We're hoping to record it on Thursday, to have...

Nope. Gave us a few amazing years, no doubt - but after the post-promotion boost wore off (seatgate aside), we weren't going anywhere - and when he went to York, on full time budget and a full time squad, he did no better. Not only that, but we're still recovering the costs of his blank-cheque time ...

Asked this on Twitter, might as well ask here too - what was your favourite game of this season, and how (from A to F) would you grade the season? I'll read some of the responses out on my football show on Darlo Radio tomorrow afternoon. Can someone point me in the direction of a Spennymoor forum (i...

Altrincham were the only ones I've ever covered on DFR where I had their entire 1-11 memorised by full time, and didn't have to refer back to the team sheet. So I'm going to have to say them, I think Hopefully by the time we play them again they will have signed Lucas Papaconstantinou, just to keep...

Not sure where he'll end up but I don't reckon he'll be at Alfreton next season if Billy Heath's still there. It's always looked an uneasy relationship and on Saturday he subbed Styche at half-time (wasn't injured) on a day Alfreton lost 7-0 at home. I don't think Styche was too impressed and the f...

Can't we switch to Xenforo or is that too costly?

Not sure the forum gets enough traffic these days to justify a paid option. I'm waiting on some API keys to install a couple of extensions that will give us the edge (for a few minutes, probably)

Unless I’m missing something on this thread I don’t think attendances were mentioned anywhere until Spen (Thrush) brought them up. Thrush——-irritating c##t Andrew Park had mentioned them and that is what I was replying to There was a 2nd paragraph to his post when I logged on commenting on Brad Gro...

At least now I should be able to install some mods aimed at trying to stop them - again. The arms race begins anew....
