Website

[lewis1k89]

Does anyone know who updates the website?

Could do with the player profiles updating, as they haven't been done since last season and quite a few of the players have left. Plus the new players haven't been added.

[Darlo Till I Die]

You beat me to it

[Magical Quakers]

Strangely I found this 'new' site hidden away the other day which has had the players updated (up to a point) and their kit sponsors.

http://new.darlington1883.co.uk/?page_id=42

Not sure what that is all about?

[Quakerz]

It wants to stay hidden until whoever it is that is doing that site realises that we are NOT, never were, and never will be "Darlington 1883"



I'm getting a bit concerned that the number of our fans calling us Darlington 1883 is on the rise.

Not available at the moment, anyway.

I asked this question privately a couple of months ago and was advised that a new site was being developed.

Just sit tight I guess. Yeh wouldn't our website URL be better if it wasn't 1883?

[love it!]

Considering we are Darlington 1883 I'm happy that we are named correctly

[al_quaker]

The website url winds me up. I hate the 1883. I'm even getting annoyed typing this.

Have you seen more Manure games or Darlington games this season?

[Darlo will]

I couldn't give a damn about 1883 when used in a url etc, I can just ignore it. What winds me up is announcers at away games (and programmes) including the four little numbers.

I understand they may have to put them on the front of the programme as the official fixture but 1883 is not needed in manager notes or club background or anything like that!!!!!

On that website, it's not just the url with an 1883 in it, but we are titled Darlington 1883 on the site, rather than Darlington FC. This needs to be strongly opposed.

Fuck off.

Is this the kind of low brow shite you have to come up with to get attention?

I mean, I know your entire family and colleagues hate you and routinely ignore you, but surely you can do better than that to instigate some interaction with others?

[quaker4life]

To be honest the "1883" has become second nature to me, as far as I and no doubt many others are concerned we are still "Darlo" or "Darlington FC" same badge, same colours, same identity.

If the bureaucracy of the FA insists on us using it as our official title allowing us to play football then I'm willing to put up with it, the 1883 suffix is only worth the peice of paper its written on in the FA's records.

If some of our fans choose to validate it then let them get on with it, all that matters to me right now is getting back up those leagues and I understand once we're at a certain level we can drop the 1883 from our name anyway.

....

... I understand once we're at a certain level we can drop the 1883 from our name anyway.

I don't think it is affected by the level you are at. Its an FA decision and that would cover the club no matter what level they are at.

Payment of the debts of the previous regime is the issue as I understand it. (not sure what position is about the football share RS failed to sign over).

The FA have tightened/ changed the rules since the times when clubs like Newport reformed.

[lo36789]

I personally think it will be when the liquidators final report to creditors goes in. Once the liquidation is signed, sealed and delivered then there is no other organisation who can lay claim to the playing/trading name Darlington FC.

I am not sure when this date will be though. There are debtors still outstanding from clauses. When will a line be drawn under them or could we pay for the remaining 50% and just get it finished. Surely Harvey Madden will take a risk based approach considering the likelihood of returns?

[theoriginalfatcat]

You could well be right lo. It seems as if we need to take something new to the F.A.- and some kind of change in the legalities might be it.

I don't like the 1883 tag. It makes out to everyone that we are a new club - and we're not.

To me it's a reminder of that sad state of affairs that Mr R.S. left us in

Sorry, do my eyes deceive me? Or is this the same boring, boring fucking cheb-end who spent years droning on about the arena despite the fact nothing could be done to get us out of it?

I have heard it suggested on a few occasions, I don't know if it is true or not but I tend to agree with lo.

I've got tickets to a couple more around xmas. Im hoping to get to at least of 5 or 6 games this season for united. Doesn't stop me attending darlo and enjoyed my second match of the season last night.

I'm baffled at why our community owned club named Darlington 1883 is such an issue to a few people. Aside from that my friends and colleagues are very pleasant and don't berate people on forums for having a positive opinion of our football club. Sorry if that annoys you in anyway but I couldn't give a flying fcuk about your opinion.

I don't think there is a link between trading and playing name. The two have been different in the past, I think we have even had years in the trading name before. (Darlington FC 2008 Ltd?).
There is no other team with a claim to Darlington FC, the FA are just being twats over it.

We're Darlington FC though so no we aren't named correctly.

You take a lot of space and words to say absolutely nothing.

Were we not Darlington FC 2008 Ltd t/a Darlington FC? As I say once this is closed off I think we have just an extra argument to our case. You are right it means next to nothing - but there is also no good reason we are not able to play under Darlington FC we paid enough for it.

It might be clutching at straws but it is a change in circumstance which we made be able to twist in our favour.

But you constantly moan about having to go all the way to Bishop. I swear you complained that moving the club shop to Blackwell made things harder. Yet you can get to Old Trafford more times a season? Guessing that probs cost more that that season ticket you were suppose to be buying?

I hate travelling to Bishop to watch my home town team play 16 miles away. I'm over the moon your happy with travelling frequently to bishop and long may it continue for you. I imagine you will be disappointed when we return to Darlington. However being a lifelong united fan travelling to match's is something I accept I have to do if I want to see my team.

Moving the club shop means when travelling into the town centre, which I do on a regular basis, I can no longer buy anything darlington 1883 related.

Part of the reason I didn't buy the season ticket was my commitment to united. As I've stated this hardly impacts on the match's I watch in Bishop Auckland

What a wanker you are love it

Is there any other sure fire sign of a pure rim licker than that? Other than the moaning about having to go all of a mile out of his way to visit the club shop, thinking an arbitrarily chosen name change to satisfy FA rules is positive for the club, and 857 other posts of pure bell cheese of course.

Along with ingleby you have to be the thickest, most retarded nappy soiling prick on here, no wonder your wife ran off with the bin man.

How about you take your face for s***. I'm not retarded, nappy soiling prick as you eloquently put. I'm an educated lad who loves football. I bet me going to watch Fulham the other week, Leeds at the end of the month, Newcastle and boro this season really annoys you.

But 16 miles to see Darlington play is too much?
