We are struggling to get a team out and we arrange a game away on the 30th September

It's better than playing them on a Monday night.

Was orginally due to be played December 2nd. Not sure why we've moved it to be honest. Unless the league have forced us to of course.

Ahh was it? I just assumed it was a Monday night, both teams then saw fit to bring it forward to save a wasted weekend.

It is clearly the weather in mind here, good decision.

Or it could be a smart move to rest the lads before the clash with Salford on 9th Dec?

It would look pretty bad if it snows on Dec 2 and they lost two Saturdays (Sep 30 and Dec 2) when they could have saved one of them. Maybe there's a later midweek game that could be moved into the Dec 2 slot, or games rearranged due to FA Trophy etc?

do I put my faith into Martin Gray - an ex professional footballer, ex football league assistant manager and respected lower league manager?

or an anonymous poster on an internet messageboard...

Even trickier when you add in his rumour mongering. We were planning to go but going to the Butler/Hall fight that night and need to be there for the undercard. Typical!

The last line up was Bartlett, Marrs, Ferguson, Turnbull, Burgess, Galbraith, Wheatley, Syers, Beck, Gillies, Caton

Plus the 3 who came on, Thompson, Scott and Saunders

and we're "struggling to get a team out"?

:roll:
"At a meeting held at the Grammar School on Friday last - Mr Phillip Wood M.A., in the chair - it was resolved to form an Association Football Club for Darlington and neighbourhood. The opinions of those present were so unanimous as to the desirability of this step, that a committee was formed to complete the organisation of the club, and Mr Craven, 17, Garden Street, was appointed secretary pro tem." - The Northern Echo, Monday 23rd July 1883

Even with Burgess replacing Collins last minute we still had six subs left. More about attitude and motivation than numbers.
