We look like a different team to the one that plays away from home. They are pressing us and we look outnumbered in midfield.

One reason for going to the Arena will be to get away from the bad vibes we have at Blackwell.

The other issue is the length of time it took for the ambulance to arrive to an unconscious patient with breathing problems. I know we live in difficult times but that is unacceptable. Whilst we can agree that this was a long time to wait, but you've got to remember the current climate we are livin...

It wasn't a cup match

Perhaps fans who live in Darlington would do well to write to Peter Gibson MP and remind him of his party’s election manifesto pledge to set up a £150M community assets fund to help set up community assets and fan led review of football governance which they have quietly forgotten about. The govern...

There is a 23 minute interview up at https://darlingtonfc.co.uk/news/dj-talk ... g-the-club

Yep. Still feels like a lot of balls to juggle...it was a holding statement from the NL on the day they were due to make a decision so who knows what next. It's a holding statement as they are trying to work out how the season will pan out in a hurry. And given that most clubs will be bankrupt if t...

Does anyone know if this has any implications (financial or otherwise) for our agreement to play at BM? Darlington Rugby Club don't seem to have made any comment. I'm sure they will have a view on it. What exactly can the rugby club say - we are happy that our tenant has found another home while ou...

We had no alternative but to rally round the reformed club there was no option for us. Along with many others I was not sure if the affinity with the club would still be there and it only came with attending matches. Fortunately we got off to a flying start and it was enjoyable just watching the te...

Not quite AndyPark - Darlofc did die as we lost as we lost the golden share which meant we needed to start again why lower down the leagues than might otherwise have been the case. In the case of Bury the only difference is that Raj disappeared, stopped paying the bills and kept that golden share. ...

West Auckland need a game on Thursday after a late cancellation.

Given the price change when we last played them - I suspect we won't be rushing to help even if we were able to.

Gibson does what Conservative office tells him to do, just look at his voting record.

He's not bright enough to have his own opinion....

I am sorry but no this entire return to the Arena agenda has been put in place by the arena worshippers we now have in charge They never wanted to leave the arena and now have used covid19 to put there own pathetic agendas before the football club we will never leave the fuckin Arena if DJ has his ...

Be very interesting to see what comes out of DMP RUFC's extraordinary general meeting to discuss options after the council pulled out of the £20M Sports Village plans. Some members are suspicious that an anonymous benefactor who had effectively taken over the club’s liabilities from the council cou...

Professional Footballers Association are now claiming the salary cap to be unenforceable, so we obviously haven't heard the last of this

They can claim what they want - both Rugby League and union have caps so I would love to see their argument.

Everything is OK. He has confirmed the offer is from "men of substance and integrity" who want to invest millions in an isolated, loss-making non-league club that doesn't own its own ground just as the world goes into one of the biggest recessions in history. What could possibly go wrong?, apart fr...

Bury still do exist unfortunately its a zombie entity with no players or staff and no membership to a league but still hold that "golden share" oh and a substantial amount of debt. So while there is a legal entity that still exists there is no way they will be playing football. The next time we see...

Well at the moment we only have 43 teams between North and South. Now they don’t look like promoting a team from Step 3 so we are short. If Bury get dropped in North Division then we will have 44 teams and 22 for each, of which Brackley or Gloucester would move South. If Bury aren’t dropped into us...

I’m afraid a lot of people bought into his nonsense. Let’s not present otherwise. There was little to no opposition to the move. The bit about attitudes won’t improve while some of our fans are determined not to improve things either. What would have objecting have achieved after all Feethams was s...

Is there any space left on Faverdale industrial estate possibly where Bowaters once stood ??

That site is supposedly getting a Lidl and a Starbucks - but it's in planning limbo..

Um, the reason why all the clubs have to find the money is because there will be no supporters at any of the playoff matches...

Raising 80k in a fortnight is a brilliant effort from the fans there is no question. However it would take a lot more than that to sustain a club in the Football League. The fan ownership model is fine at this level but if we are ever to move up the pyramid I just don’t see it would be enough. Righ...

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/may/05/player-wages-and-contracts-will-bankrupt-efl-clubs-its-time-for-the-pfa-to-act An interesting piece by Tranmere's chairman - not directly relevant to us as a semi-pro team, but highlighting some of the problems facing EFL teams. This bit seems especi...

I'm not sure - I think it still guarantees them a place to play no matter what happens. I doubt there is much transferable value in the structure of the ground itself especially given the costs involved to actually do anything with it. And nothing else could be built instead without permission of l...

Fixtures and fittings within the ground may be owned by the council. The value of the club would only be possible player sales and that was only ever going to be a few 0,000s here and there it would never be millions. No the council only own the land, the club own everything on it. This became clea...
