Great post Scott. I was proud to be there today, proud to exchange a few ideas for the future and immensly proud of our great following, our great club and its remaining staff.

This feels like a day for dusting off the motto from one of my academic incarnations:-

Eadem Mutata Resurgo - Although changed, I shall arise the same!!

Let's not tempt fate...

Although I don’t know Nick Woodward, if he is who I think he is then he is a natural comedian at times. I loved the look on Greg Taylors face at Whitby when he was about to take a throw in and Nick tried having a chat with him which included the line “WOW Greg they’re some Bobby Dazzlers, (pointing at Greg’s purple boots) JJB’s finest!”

Scott I wanted to speak to you afterwards to thank you for everything over the years but then some strange liquid started accumulating in my eyes and a lump in my throat stopped my ability to speak. So please take this as a thank you and sorry I couldn’t deliver it in person.

Mikky you also deserve a big thank you as well.

Our club wouldn’t be the same without this website.
Now is not the time to cry
Now’s the time to find out why
I think you’re the same as me
We’ll see things they’ll never see
Darlo’s going to live forever!

Cheers l4e. It's worth every penny on days like today. And I can promise you I have no intention of closing MY wallet on this place.

I don’t know if the club will survive, but I’m proud to be in love with this team and its fatstatic fans
I really hope one day I will be with you at Dalington to see the DFC

Wow man, this had me welling up!! I live in Barrow and went to the game on Saturday. I'm originally a Walsall fan but simply love 'football'. I've followed Darlo since the early 80's. I remember going with the Wolves to Feethams and getting absolutely pasted in the old 4th div. Darlo were the only club to properly do the wolves over that year as the wanderers went up as champions. I can't tell you how much I want to see the name Darlington FC on my weekly football coupon again. I often have a little sneeky quid on their results. My heart goes out to all the people of Darlington because it's the towns club. Just read what Reynolds has said and nearly threw up. Long live the mighty Darlo and it'd be wonderful to see you all in Barrow again next season. Richie
