Darlo Uncovered

2 hrs drive
£40 petrol
2 x £18 tickets
Pints, pies and a programme
Watch a crap game of football
Feel no passion
No banter with away fans
No banter with home fans
2 hrs miserable drive home

Pretty much a combination of the reasons above

The gap opens...

I remember a year or so back, I was on a train into Leeds from where I lived in Pudsey and the ticket inspector was Mark Ford.

He was gobsmacked when I questioned him about his time at Darlo, like he didnt expect to be recognised at all. He asked if Reynolds was still about... Classic.

this is stupidly addictive! I've had about 10 games already!!

Is it me or does our guy look alot like Jason Kennedy?

Oh yeah, my other idea which I posted on Rivals a bit back (and was mentioned by a few different people aswell) is the improving atmosphere / matchday experience in the ground. The idea of blocking off the back 10 rows of the East, West and possibly North stand, thus encouraging people to sit closer...

Here are my ideas (as posted previously!) The club to go back to letting school kids in for free. stick them in a block of their own in the north stand, let them spend £5 each on crisps, chocolate and fizzy pop and of course, allowing them to come to Darlo early, may prevent them from buying an Arse...

Its always been an idea of mine to go back to letting school kids in for free. stick them in a block of their own in the north stand, let them spend £5 each on crisps, chocolate and fizzy pop and of course, allowing them to come to Darlo early, may prevent them from buying an Arsenal / Man Utd shirt...

Darlo Dave, remember him from rivals?, a not very convincing simian on a wind up who popped up with this kind of shite every now and again usually on the chimps board :roll: I'm not the one from Rivals I'm a genuine fan, just not a pessimist like most Loids. Come on Darlo! 3-0 tonight. If you ARE a...

1. Pretty much all of Euro 96 for me, all the "Footballs Coming Home" stuff was amazing. The day after the Germany match, I remember being at school and taking pens in the playground and everyone wanting to be Southgate but putting it away and England winning... 2. The 2 seasons Liverpool and Newcas...

I was there! Cracking night.

So its like a leasing effort on tickets? Company buys say 10 season tickets, (which average at say £10 a game) Then they offer them to fans on a game to game basis, instead of a fan turning up one week and paying £18 in, he goes to the company, and gets his ticket from them for £10. Its a good idea.

I dont know why they cant just call it Neasham Road and have done with the stupid names season after season.

If someone wants to sponsor something, let them sponsor one of the stands or something like that.

Also how about picking the Darlo player to score first?

Just a straight 3 points if you pick correct.

id say if someone gets the attendance spot on, its worth more than 5 points...

perhaps have the 1 - 20 out as 5 points.

We're gonna need alot more though than 3 or 4 loaners... Looking back at some of the injuries we've suffered in the past 2 or 3 seasons, everyone should be aware that it takes strength in depth to compete. As much as I love Windass, if he gets a knock, and is out for a month or two, we could really ...

I thought there was a rumour we were looking at Keltie?

If possible we ought to be able to keep peoples predictions so we can track them through-out the season.

Then at the end of the year we can award someone the "i told you so" award 2009/2010.

Im selling 2 x tickets for the game this Sunday (26th) at St James Park Its a Sir Bobby Robson charity game, England v West Germany Italia 90 teams. I bought them a bit back, but am no longer able to attend. Wondering if anyone on this board is interested in them? They are only £10 each. They are de...

If and when we come out of admin, would those players still be under contract to Darlo?

Poole could still do a useful job for us I reckon.

I thought yesterdays centre midfield were great, considering who they were up against. Don't agree that we were weak in that area last year though... Kennedy and Ravenhill were 2 of the best centre midfielders Darlo have had for a long time! Fair play Ravenhill had some red mist moments, but both ch...

i thought the centre midfield played well yesterday, especially against the likes of Barton, Smith and Butt.

BringTwynhamOn - I salute you on a superb username.

Thought i'd be the first to post this, see what everyones thoughts are at this stage. 2 weeks to the season kick off... Lets keep it simple. No ranting, no 10,000 word essays. League 2 winner: Darlo finish position: Darlo Top scorer: My prediction is: League 2 winner: Hereford Darlo finish position:...

is it really that bad?

Im travelling up from Leeds tomorrow, dont wanna make a wasted trip!

no point opening the north stand up for teams like acc stanley who bring around 30 fans.

those games are gonna be a crap atmosphere regardless of where the away fans sit.
