This looks like another fantastic signing for Spennymoor, so i would say on paper, it looks like Spennymoor have a stronger team than Darlington now. opinions please.

Aye agree. We always release players that we want in our first team.

Am sure that keeper would be first choice if he was at Darlington

On paper ? It's on the pitch that counts !
Darlington play as a team. That team being greater than the sum of it's parts.
On paper England's galacticos are ranked 11 in the world, but on the pitch play like they should be 189th.
If Spennymoor have a stronger team than us, as you believe, they should easily win the Evostick Prem next year with more than 104 points. We will see. I do regard it as a compliment that you hoover up ex Darlo players with relish, have you approached Hodgy yet to be your next manager. Perhaps you could play your home games at the Arena and change your name to Darlington United. You do have previous in this regard re Evenwood town.

Yeh probably. We still have to enter the county cup this season after all.

Um, why?

We would obviously beat you, like we always do.

No matter what, you are simply unable to beat us in a competitive match.

As for your squad, yes it looks strong, but you're always one step behind Darlo. I would only have taken Chandler out of your signings.

As for Rafferty, when did he play for us, I've never heard of him?

I think there's just an assumption that if Spennymoor sign someone, he probably used to play for us.

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.

Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

I still think as a team, we have the upper hand over Spennymoor.

Like fuck you have.

Your entire squad seems to be made up of our cast offs and players we didn't think we're good enough to pay over the odds for. Good try at baiting with the topic title though, keeping yourselves somehow relative despite us battering you and moving on.

According to Wikipedia, "Rafferty started his career at Darlington but left the club aged 16." This was back in 2007.

So he was formerly at DFC, but never made a first team appearance.

The best part about his Wikipedia page is that he made 0 appearances at Horden Colliery Welfare, with his number of goals scored shown as "?".
