It's an interesting set of opening day fixtures. Alfreton v Kiddy Chester v Spennymoor Chorley v York Probably the pick of the games. Decent start for us v Curzon at home. It's the kind of game you should be winning if you want to finish in the top 7. As others have said. The league is...

In reality it's going to be a ridiculously tight league this year probably any from 12 or 14 clubs are looking at their squads and saying we have enough to make the playoffs. But if I was going to stick my neck out is say it will look something like this: 1. Chester 2. Stockport County 3...

Got to say. It's nice to see pools turning a corner (not that I agree with who has helped you turn the corner) id never want to see a club go out of business. What Darlo went through was heart breaking and I'd much rather play pools again in the league than gloat about someone going out of...

PSV Eindhoven Jong 3 - 1 Darlington. With circa 300 darlo made the trip to the Netherlands. Great friendly from the fans point of view and good bonding trip for the players By the sounds of it we've played fairly well in the last couple of friendlies. Really like what I'm hearing on Maddison...

Not to get promoted it isn't. The 4000 capacity must be reached by March 31st of your first season in the national league. BM is good enough to be promoted. But would require further improvements should we reach the national league.

Do you mean Darlo's Blackwell Meadows? Fully compliant with the criteria for promotion now after the fans raised another shed load of cash last season to extend the seated stand. Now holds 588 with total ground capacity of about 3,300...

Our CEO came out and said at the start of the season, Martin Gray was spending around £325k on our squad. However, after he left and some of our larger earning players leaving and going out on loan this has come down to circa £285k. I'd imagine that's still keeping us in the top 8-9 budgets in...

I'd echo most of what Darlo on tour said. Slightly disappointing season in the sense that following our 5th place finish last year and the additions made to the squad I thought we could again challenge for top 5. Looking at our squad I think we'll be far away from relegation when the season...

Bartlett is an odd one just a few weeks ago committed to DFC and rejected York but now he goes. Again, full time football and a decent fee so it works for all parties. In Wilczynski we have a good young replacement who it was harsh to drop last season when Bartlett arrived. No doubt York have...

Truth is you can out pay us. You can say poaching off our bigger rivals but your budget is heavily subsidised by the wealth of one man. We don't have that, and in addition we are also paying to improve a ground as we go. I won't get distressed at losing a player to full time football. Slightly...

Problems mostly stem from Mr Gray unfortunately. First of all in his greed to have a massive budget which he requires to operate he made the board put the prices up so it' now £14 instead of £12 this doesn't sound massive but it is still enough to put the floating fans off if we'r either not in...

It's an odd one. And it must be said he was a clear second favourite to Alun Armstrong who we went after first. If I'm honest neither in my opinion are what we need right now. The club needs a steady hand at the helm someone who can do things to budget and thus maybe has good connections to...

We're getting there. Foundations are in seating deck is paid for. Now just need the final £50K for the roof to go over it. Rid of Gray and his hoofball after he 'dragged us through the divisions' with very healthy budgets completely funded from fans pockets. Interviews for the new managers...

Says a bit for what Gray did in the summer that when I just found out he'd gone I was a bit Meh. Don't get me wrong he is and will be for a very long time Darlingtons most successful manager. But call the fans, who had raised hundreds and thousands of pounds over the years for the club to grow...

WE HAVE ONLY GONE AND SIGNED PAULO 'EFFING' MENDES!!!!! .... nope me neither

I wouldn't be too worried. We look toothless in attack at the moment and a long list of defensive injuries mean we've been poor there since the end of August. We look a shadow of the team that started the season. If we can get players back fit and in form we are a match for anyone in this...

Yeah those are the only reasons I can think of too. Must apologise though. Our recent form means that not too many are going to make the trip despite Curzon being a great little ground in this league.

As we're both now free Curzon's home game v Darlo has been moved to the 30th September from the 2nd December.

Games of the weekend probably Spennymoor v Salford and Southport v York. Both tough games that could go either way. Think there could be a draw at brewery field and a win for york away at Southport. As for us. We need to put the result against Telford behind us. I don't think we'll play as bad...
