4 less games (mid-week).
2 less away travel nights over the season.
Helps Darlo players and fans that work.
More scope to prioritise Cup games, with potentially larger crowds and prize money.

Longer season too. They are playing their last games this week.

From past experience, it's a more professional set-up all round. And no pointless league cup.

It also means income from two less home gates, therefore placing additional pressure to maximise revenue from cup runs. Hopefully increased crowds with the return to Darlo will at least partially compensate. 
Re: 42 league games next season
Would love a good cup run. Its the only thing that has been missed from the last few years.

Re: 42 league games next season
Agree with that. The whole country was able to watch Blyth play Hartlepool in the early stages of the BBC's FA Cup coverage on a Friday night last year. How proud we would be, had it been Darlington.

Re: 42 league games next season
I thought the players were contracted an amount per week as opposed to per game?lo36789 wrote:also means 2 less games to pay any players with appearance money for and 2 less games without overheads...joejaques wrote:It also means income from two less home gates, therefore placing additional pressure to maximise revenue from cup runs.

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!

Re: 42 league games next season
Going by the Salford documentary players have a kind of standing amount to keep them on a contract plus and appearance fee.
Was it Seddon who was one a couple of hundred flat per week then if he got on he would get an extra £300-£400 or something?
I can't imagine we are too dissimilar to that. I don't know I am just guessing based on that and from various conversations with people involved with other clubs in evostick.
