Re: Jacob Hazel

Played again last night in a win on penalties against French Guiana, which means they have qualified for the Group Stage of the Gold Cup. Final score was 1-1 before the penalty shootout, the St Kitts and Nevis goal coming from a shot by Hazel that the keeper saved and a teammate converted the rebou...

Re: David Stockdale

DJ mentioned that Stockdale was working with Alun identifying targets. Then a couple of days later he’s sacked it off to get paid doing the same thing for York. Just hope it doesn’t affect our recruitment plans now. Slightly disappointing that he committed to help us out and then just done one. He ...

Re: New players and targets

So with a squad of 13 signed on I think we still need the following - GK CM x 2 LW CF Who do we think AA will be looking at? Wonder if there will be a loan player or two in there ?

Re: Great Annual Savings

Understand that Brad has several other businesses that contribute to Evenwood utd so it maybe a tightening of the budget but don't believe it is necessarily the end of Brad groves financial assistance and those fans i have spoken too all believe it is business as usual? we will obviously see!.

Re: Change of Council

DJ might be disappointed but it looks like the Tories have crashed in the Darlington Borough Council elections. Labour gains, but short of a majority. Interestingly big winners were the Greens who now have 7 Councillors. Labour - 24 (though one was suspended from the Party so I'm guessing he counts...

Re: Meeting with board

There might not be a great deal of new information to come out of this meeting. Assuming Armstrong doesn’t offer his resignation, it will likely be a case of carry on regardless. No doubt next season’s budget will be discussed, but I would not expect details of that to be made public. Perhaps the m...

Re: Who stays and who goes

My main concern about changing the manager is the lack of outstanding candidates to replace him. There’s nobody local who stands out without taking a massive risk with the likes of Atkinson who only has a caretaker spell as manager at this level. Or there is Steve Watson who has failed more than he...

Re: Darlington V Bradford PA

Darlo good for the first 10 minutes of both halves, but in between rather average I thought. Too much hoof ball and giving the opposition too much time on the ball and too much space. Moke, Hazell, Hedley, Rivers, Nelson all very poor. Newall by far Darlo's best player. Yet despite being poor for m...

2 match ban if more than 10 bookings before Farsley

Tonight at farsley is our 37th league game so players have to receive 10 bookings before getting a two match ban. Fortunately Purver is on six bookings and Hazel five so unlikely both unlikely to reach that cut off tonight.
