Those were the words of George II two weeks ago (having said back in 2006 that Darlington were aiming to be in the Championship by 2000). Now given their promotion this season is looking more unlikely by the week, that puts a fair amount of pressure on the management and players to fulfill their chairman's dream. IF they get promoted next season they have to repeat that in League One at the first attempt to make it to the Championship by 2010. I wish them well.

If Darlow do go up this season and the town gets behind them, then its perfectly feasible. Two very big ifs though.

this a load of hogwash,he has got what he originally wanted which was planning permission for the land round the stadium,i can only imagine what it's worth now,so the money he has put in he will probably get back ten fold,best of it is the loids believe him(should we call them little chelsea village?) :laugh:

If that did happen it will be the single funniest thing to happen in the history of the world.

They'd have to lose every game and Chesterfield would have to go some but the Loids do make it a habit of making our sides split, almost like they go out of the way to do it!!

If they get some players fit they should win the play-offs on paper with the budget Penney has had but we all know you don't play football on paper you play it on a paddy field surrounded by empty seats.

what ? mr elvis's cock falling off ???

thats a bit harsh pj.


If Darlo finished 8th it would take me at least all summer to stop laughing, if Mr Elvis's chopper fell off during that period I'm not going to promise I'll stop.

I might order a sewing kit and some padding for 'me ribs' just in case :wink:

I'm crying with laughter at their pain.

It's truly one of the biggest drops I've ever seen a side make who was consistently in the top three. If the mighty Dale continue their rampage it may be 8th.

Then again, I think Darlo could beat every playoff team on top form. Shame they're not on it clappp

...and all bad spells come to an end. :evil: I'd rather say nowt, as life has a habit of kicking you in the pods and just when you thought it was 'safe to go back into the water' .... they find a bit of form.

I reckon it will be hard for them to find form when the pressure is on, being perennial late season bottlers and all

It wouldn't surprise me if Peterborough was another club heading for the championship. That Irish fella who owns the club has put serious money in there.

And why not! The town of Milton Keynes is getting right behind them so fair play to them. I was a touch saddened to see Rochdale's gate of 2'500 last night for such an important game.

At least they are showing some fooking ambition , whats the point of been in a division if you dont want to get out of it. If you aim for mid table survival you end up been relegated everyone knows that.

The team with 'no ambition' is Hartlepool, according to Ronnie

Which one is the ambitious club then, Darlow, who haven't been out of the basement since John Boy Major was at number 10, or the 'Dale who were last in this division when Kev was in his thirties???? :grin:

You are priceless, absolutely priceless. So they are showing ambition by challenging for promotion from the division we strolled out of last season sctatchinghead stpid rolfl rolfl

Are you actually real or a loid on the wind up? Surely nobody can be as venomous about the club they allegedly support?

You are real aren't you!? You hear people like you spouting shite at games, maybe Keith Houchen had a couple of valid points in his book when he suggested we have some of the nastiest fans going :shock:
