Terrible attendance. If there's more than 1200, then I'm a monkey's uncle. Have people given up on them?

AndyPark · Post by **AndyPark** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 8:00 pm

Just got a text from my Dad, who's at the game and he says there isn't many there at all.

Sounds like its all Luton. If they get an early goal this could be a long night...

Somewhere between it being midweek, team out of form and football on Sky means such a crowd was a little inevitable.

Maybe the fact it'll be fifteen quid for the rest of the season will draw a few more in for the Saturdays at least...

Keep coming up with various reasons, but they are not the point

Not out of form, this team has never had form to be out of, they are a cobbled together bare bones of a squad. That is what has put people off I fear.

I'm not making excuses for other people, we all know they can do that for themselves. Just theorising...

Personally, I'm not there because I'm skint as I'm not paid until Friday. Simple as that.

MikeinBlack · Post by **MikeinBlack** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 8:19 pm

Or maybe, the fact that the press (i.e. BBC Look North) are painting such a poor picture of Darlo at the moment? Not looking good at all really is it?

AndyPark · Post by **AndyPark** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 8:19 pm

I'm not there as I can't get back on train same evening.

Luton the better team but we have had 2 good chances

For a patched up team with not much fitness, experience etc. Darlington go into the half time break 0-0 with 3 top Luton Town.

Sounds like the lads are doing well, lets hope they can keep there concentration and see this through.

Its still going to be a very tough job to come away with even a point tonight.

Darlo_H · Post by **Darlo_H** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 8:43 pm

Good free kick from Brown and a decent attempt by Keltie for us. Luton only really through on the keeper once which Pickford saved well at feet.

I'm still cautious over how this match goes as it wears on, especially for the likes of Wainy and Broughton who've had close to bugger all match practice.

Darlo_George_96 · Post by **Darlo_George_96** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 8:54 pm

Not a good start to the 2nd half

MikeinBlack · Post by **MikeinBlack** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 8:57 pm
