‘Team needs your support if it is to return to form’ (From Darlington and Stockton Times)

DFC 1883 s a new football club, it is NOT Darlington Football Club, and has nothing to do with it, they don't even play at Darlington

There was not enough public interest to keep the old club going.

Stop pretending the new venture has anything to do with Darlington or its previous football club.

As a non league club. like all the rest, unless they can throw money at attracting new players, that's all they will be, non league.

There are many non league clubs with far longer history that Darlington 1883, and as such will make their struggle even harder.

But remember why we are in this situation, there was no real public support, either when Darlington were running and certainly less when the new club reformed.

Get people through the gates and prove me wrong, but it just isn't going to happen, most Darlington people couldn't care less.

Surely there are no mugs left who think that putting money into a football club is a sane move? The defunct club couldn't even get 2,000 punters through the door for its' last ever league game-this new non-league affair will be living on even fewer.There are clubs in this league who were better than the dead Darlington club were in the Conference so no one needs to think they are going to break eggs with a stick here.Time for people to face up to the facts-there will never be a club in the football league called 'Darlington' in their lifetimes again and put their cash where it belongs-feeding their kids and paying the bills!

The website at the address given isnt live.
I have my own web servers and would be willing to host the clubs site for free if required.

Its now a non league club in a low league. I cant believe that they honestly thought that thousands would flock to the cause when they were lucky to scrape 2,000 before. There is only a small band of a few hundred hardcore supporters who they can rely on, the rest were just casual supporters who had no real interest and certainly wont spend a Saturday afternoon going to Bishop auckland . The board need to seriously take a reality check of their situation and look around their league to get actual attendance figures. The prestige days are over for the forseeable future unfortunately, its survival time.

Darlington FC is over, it is gone, it no longer exists.

The non league club has little aspiration, no money, no support and has nothing whatsoever to do with Darlington other than some people who live there have put a few bob in.

Even with the Echo backing and promoting them it came to nothing, because people do not care.

We've sold over 600 season tickets and have enough money to erect a temporary stand at Bishop, so your comment about no support and no money is dead wrong.

The website IS live, the article has an unnecessary space between "darling" and "ton1883", which anybody but the thickest people (which includes you) could spot.

Try putting it all in as one word Mr I have web servers numpty.

Charming!

Once again, rubbish. Last season the average gate of 2,264 showed that there is easily enough interest to keep the club going at BSP level. The absolute low gate of 1,300 to watch a shocking team was still higher than the average of about 10 clubs in that league.

The reason the club couldn't continue was because it was badly ran with huge overheads and spending more than what it could afford.

Cant wait for the new season. getting 3 tickets soon for the first game. Also invested in both Crowdcube & the new CIC.
We will show the doubters wrong. Soon be back into the leagues that count.

Darlington FC & 1883 are interlinked because the fans are the same people !!

COME ON DARLO !!

This site contains nothing but trolls bashing our club, and I'm sick of it.

Pleased for the RA if what you are saying is true, they need the support. However I think you're making it up, and the RA will get absolutely bot all from you.

This forum is infested with with Darlo knocking, Darlo hating trolls and you were considering investing, yet I make a comment you don't like and now you're not going to? Pull the other one chap, why should what I have said affect you so much?

Stop jogging and start running.

What a pathetic person you are Quakerz!

Darlington FC and not Darlington 1883 had an average of 2,246 at home games last season. The 1,382 against Luton Town - the shocking team you refer to was a 1-1 draw so not that shocking really against a team that finished 4th and had 11 draws and 7 wins on the road against your 8 home wins and 8 defeats in the fortress!!

Because of your ignorance and if you cannot see it from an investors point of view then you should of gone to SPECSAVERS!

Obviously investors in a company splash the cash just to be abused by people like you!

What a moron.

i was born in Greenbank Road in 1968, and I have lived in Darlington ever since.
I have had a successful business for the last 5 years and now I am looking for an alternative method of advertising.
Time for you to change your attitude before you scare off any other potential investors.

Give your money to Darlington RA, they would actually welcome the investment, the muppets that are involved in the New football club in Darlington were out to look good as saviors of a club that was doomed - it never happened because they were never transparent about anything and proved they could not manage a club/ finances when they agreed to ground share Dean Street with Shildon AFC when they did not even know what league they would end up in costing them £10k in compensation!!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the usual trolling and slagging off of Darlo and its supporters. You're getting tiring boys.

Your the tiring one - Look at what the great journalism is saying.

Quote:
Supporters initially pledged more than £325,000 to buy shares by paying money into the Crowdcube online funding system.
However, only about £150,000 has so far been invested in the CIC, which replaced the Crowdcube system.
Craig McKenna, DFC 1883 board member and project manager, said the club had drawn up a list of more than 40 potential fundraising schemes which could not be launched because of a shortage of volunteers.

Where have all the big mouths gone when the club comes asking it supporters to help for free!! This says it all about the long term of the club, the teams in these leagues need voluntary assistance to survive but again that is below the so called fans of Darlington!!

really should of been put in the Teesside League and then we would of seen who supported the club!
An appeal for fans to sit on a panel which will work alongside the DFC 1883 board had also received a poor response.

157k is what we've raised and it's still a huge amount for a Northern League club, remember the 300k was raised when we were trying to save the club as was - ie in Darlington and in the BSP. Things have changed massively since then and of course some fans are going to drop off because of the change in circumstances - the average gate in the NL is around 150, there is no way on earth we will average 2,000 anymore, but that is just a reality, rather than a point to criticise the remaining Darlo fans for.

Of course if all of the trollers on here desperate to get stuck into Darlo instead supported us, we'd be far better off.

But it's more fun to kick a struggler and laugh at it than do something constructive, eh you two hat?

People always laugh at the drunk uncle dancing at the wedding reception making a fool of himself - that is how people see Darlington now and it is the so called fans that are to blame.

You wanted a club that was pushing for promotion every season, you got benefactors and you turned against them, you wanted a community club, you get one then nobody volunteers - What is it that the fans of Darlington actually want other than everything handed to you on a silver platter?

ENJOY THE NORTHERN LEAGUE, IT SUITS YOUR CLUB!!

Nobody turned against the benefactors, they turned against us - why? Because they realised they weren't going to make any money because crowds at best were only 4,000, because people like YOU wouldn't come and support us - so it is YOUR fault, YOU personally killed Darlo, you see you hen tea.

The blood of the club is on your hands. Murderer.

lol - Never been a supporter of Darlington and never said I was.

The so called fans of Darlington / the people of Darlington and Darlington Council killed Darlington FC - people like you who cannot see anything good beyond the end of your nose.

Yes you never were a supporter of Darlington and that's how you killed the club. Murderer.

I can see a lot more good beyond the end of my nose than you can, I am still willing to follow the club. Call me whatever you like for supporting the club that you take so much pleasure in killing, but don't tell me I can't see beyond the end of my nose - that's YOU.

No wonder Darlington went to the wall with 'supporters' like this.

Just because the majority of people could not care less if there is a team called Darlington ? makes them trolls, well Darlington must have a majority of Trolls living there because they have a whole lot more to worry about than a has been football club.

It is not the fact that people couldn't care less, but the fact that they actively seek and destroy...I thought they couldn't care less?

This is contradictory, and makes such people complete nipples.

That's you George.

A true investor would not change their mind because of one fans comment. I too think you are talking porkies.

I wish when people who claim to be Darlington 1883/FC supporters would engage their brain before letting their fingers tap a keyboard.

Two people who have posted on here have said that they now won't invest because of what has been posted. I have no way of knowing if this is true or not, but it doesn't help the image of a Community Club for a 'spokesman' (for that is what you appear to be) to call people who won't invest a murderer.

Yes, Darlington is aiming high and this will cost money. The fact that fewer people have reinvested is more down to confusion over what was happening with the club, and the decisions that were made by the FA than anything else.

The board and the Echo can more to re-educate people, so please leave your moaning, misinformation and badness to the confines of your own head.

Actually, only one person has claimed to be not investing now, not two.

The problem is not me or what I said, but the problem is this site which is completely unmoderated and has been a free for all for monkey hangers, trolls and fuckwits for far too long.

If you werent so thick and brain dead you would know that Quakerz wasnt refering to Luton as being shocking, but was actually saying that Darlington were and yet still got 1300 for that game.
You are a troll, go away and masturbate furiously while you think of more ways to run our club down.

It is such a shame that someone from outside of Darlington and with no allegiance to the old/new football club called Darlington cannot have an opionion without been sworn at by mindless thugs and scum!!

These people are what kills football teams and thankfully the upper tiers of the football leagues are eradicating this however it just pushes it further underground and into clubs like Darlington.

loan_star and Quakerz are probably the front runners of the all mouth and no trousers brigade that run their mouth off on forums but don't go outside the town - how many away matches do you attend?

Football is a two way thing to get attendance up you need more than just the home team crowd, you need to follow your team, get behind them through thick and thin something that the old Darlington could never do!

Its a community club, let the community run it and when the community criticise it let them because it's their club and every pound that someone put in a bucket gives them a voice and an opinion or are you going to give people their pounds back just so they don't have an opionion?

Now you jog on, and if you pass go put £200 in the community fund!

When a community runs a club and it is more than once I have seen comments like this from so-called fans, no wonder people are not investing.

Why invest when your abused for giving the club money?

Q, you and I have been at loggerheads for a long time. No matter your thoughts against me you do at times talk sense,but I really do think that at times you do the club I know you love a diss service. PLEASE,you may think the guy was telling porkies when he said he was thinking of doing some sponsoring,but you do not KNOW for sure.
With the best will in the world I tell you this, during the first few weeks of the season you will find I have sponsored clubs we play against in the matches against Darlo. I would far rather the money had gone to our club,but the amount of abuse from you and others has made me unable to put money into the club I love,and now I have returned to the UK, I want involvement as I always used to.
It will be interesting to see in the next few weeks just how many of the people who have been slagging me for years actually recognize me at games,and yes I will be at quite a few.
PLEASE Q, I know you love the club, and I know you get wound up, but take this well meant message at face value, and just curb your comments a bit.

A.Smith, dont try and lecture me on match attendance, either home or away, or any other method of putting money into DFC including sponsorships and free work.

People who are all mouth and no trousers are people like yourself who sit at a distance picking fault about a subject you obviously dont give a monkeys chuff about and then snipe at people who show you up for being the waste of space that you are.

Fair enough you have an opinion, but kindly keep it amongst people like yourself who dont give a toss about DFC.

You must do a 60 hr week as a volunteer then do you?

I can just see you using the mangle and twin tub to wash the used kit just before you sprint out to get a few hours street begging done before it's time to get the strips in, ironed and ready for the next match.

I am anything but a waste of space or brain dead, however because I am not a Darlington fan I am not allowed an opinion!

You and the rest of the dilly day dream team should get it in your thick heads that the 'PEOPLE OF DARLINGTON' spoke when they let Darlington FC fail and drop from the conference into the northern league. Unfortunately Darlington 1883 are nothing better than the team they ground share with now - oh yeah they actually own a ground and as of last accts filed had a net worth of £316k.

I predict mid table at the very most, might end up eating my words come end of the season but I doubt it!

Thankyou for proving my point A.Smith.

Nothing constructive to say and just more sniping. Go worry about your own team whoever that may be.

Lone Star,
The fact that my death was reported by Pete without bothering to check with me when he knew exactly how to get hold of me was not my fault,nor anything to do with me.

As To my nearly killing the club, you talk with NO fact.

Fact no 1,,,
the first contact I had with the administrator when GR put us in admin was at 4-35pm on the Friday that he was going to close the club at 5-00pm. The fact is that if I had made no offer then the club would have been finished on that date, and yes we have the proof which included the admin saying the time and date of my first contact.

Fact No 2....
At no time did I claim anything about myself apart from the fact that I was born in November 1950, first went to Feethams in Feb 1951 and missed less than 50 Games in over 40 years which included living in Cornwall for 10 years and 15 in the West Midlands. At no time DID I make ANY claim re' my finances. That all came from the Echo's reporter,(journalist
ic license).

Fact 3
No offer of 19.6 million pounds was offered. What was was that everyone apart from GR would receive 100% of the debt and that GR would receive every penny he could PROVE that he had spent once it was checked. Apart from this last, is this not exactly what 1883 offered apart from the part re' RS?(and I am in no way knocking 1883).

Fact 4....
And I have asked this regularly and never had a reply so see if you can manage 1....
Comeonedarlo,a serving police officer said he checked and there was no record of what I said happened happening so I was lying. If I was indeed lying then how come every word of what I predicted would happen DID IN FACT HAPPEN?
I said 3 people would be arrested and at least 1 would go to prison.3 were and GR did.
I said that while the club were not involved it would be implicated. The books were ceased and scrutinized.. ...
If what I said happened when I came over was not true, then how could I, a total outsider 2,500 miles away know those things were going to happen 5 months b4 they did?

As far as I know, you were not around in the Tin shed forum days, I certainly do not remember your handle from then, but I am sure that if you asked, Scott or someone must be able to access the relevant posts and you will see exactly what I forecast came about. Once again HOW?

I get as wound up as anyone about people having a go at the club, and yes I want it to succeed, but in the first few weeks of the season you will find that Ted's Table Private Caterers are match day sponsors at 3 away fixtures. You will also find my company name on the shirt of a second division side as I am the clubs main sponsor having done a deal for £3,000 to be the sponsor for the season. Check it out. I have been a Quaker for over 60 years, people like YOU have stopped the club from receiving my help.
Further, and you can check this with the old commercial section of the club, at the point of the debacle with Bloody Big EX I was on the point of signing a contract to sponsor and pay for a reserve side in NL2 for this and the next 2 seasons.
More, and you can put this on the ask 1883 forum I was in contact with Tori a while ago on a few occasions,using one of my other 26 user names on uncovered wondering if I could be of help in a quiet way, and she checked all the abuse and said she realized where I was coming from.
As I say, you people really do need to damp down your comments no matter what you THINK you know, you only THINK it you do not KNOW it.

I know for a fact that your antics stopped the eventual takeover happening sooner, Hodgys words not mine.
I never used the Tin Shed board, but you again prove your ignorance as Scott never ran that board.
The fact you have 26 user names shows what an attention seeking freak you are. It also shows what lengths you have to go to in order to try and get attention since everyone on the Uncovered board realises just what you are like.

Show me Hodgys words please !!! Doubt you have any proof of that,and just a small point, just how would he have that knowledge anyway? I know very well that the admin could have said nothing prior to that Friday evening because prior to that I had 2 conversations with a secretary in his office,(and non whatsoever with himself). One on the Tuesday asking for the prospectus and one on the Friday afternoon asking if the admin would give a delay over the weekend for us to formalize the bid we wanted to put in. That request was refused at about 4-25pm on the Friday and so we had little option other than send a loose worded offer that we tried to firm up over the weekend.
As far as I am aware,(and once again, Pete will have more knowledge of this than I),he spoke to Hodgy on the Saturday b4 the match and both Hodgy,and Martin Gray, asked him to ask me to try and do a deal quickly. As MG is now back at the club, and in regular contact with fans, you could always ask him when he first became aware of my interest !!
We also tried, as Pete knew full well,(I believe he still has the letter),to buy GR out of the picture as a separate matter to the admin.
You will I have no doubt, be able,if you contact the FA,to see every letter.email, and copy of phone conversations concerning the matter as they were fully involved from the first contact.
I also stated both on Tinshed and in the Echo, that the admin was working with a third party to block any attempted takeover. Had that not been true, they would have undoubtedly taken legal action against me for what I openly said and wrote about them.
I did not say Scot ran Tinshed, I said he would be able to find a way of gaining access to the posts on Tinshed. If not then Mikkys probably will.
The fact I have so many user names in fact only proves I will not let idiots with big thoughts but little brains,such as yourself, beat me into submission.How can it possibly be attention seeking when you have no idea what names they are? What an idiotic thing to say.You actually comment in agreement with me in a number of different guises,and disagree in others. Funny thing, any time you disagree with anything anyone says you are abusive,and show little command of the English language.
