They have just saved the club now Darlo fans are banging on about a surplus budget and that £2million is possible for a new ground. stpid I really want Darlo to come back but they have to run before they can walk and all this type of talk is pie in the sky and they are just making themselves out to be fools.

If I was a Darlo fan I would be very cautious about the league they are in and show some more respect to the teams in that division who 1) have a very good understanding of lower league footy and 2) have done it year in year out. This attitude of "we are going to steamroller the division" and thinking everyone is happy as larry they are there as they are going to get "massive" crowds has a lot of familiarity about it like when they went into the BSP.

Sorry its another Darlo thread but I am bored at work.

Tell you what....all this organising that the darlow fans have been doing over the last couple of years to save the club and fund raising (bike rides/walks :laugh: ) etc etc and the mind boggling stuff they come out with you'd have thought they would have learnt by now to be realistic and only aim for what is achievable....are they all mental???? sctatchinghead sctatchinghead

Now compare that to MHAAG, Pools supporters getting a single in the Charts, one bloke organising over 150 Smurfs, etc etc!!!! :cool: :cool:

I bet they'd love some Poolies on their Commitees to get them organised proper like!!!! :-D :-D

I reckon how they do in the league next season is going to be fairly critical to their survival in the longer term. If they don't walk the league, and I'm not sure why they think they will as surely they don't really know what the standard is, then a number of "fans" may start to lose interest. They certainly have a decent core of support for that level based on their gates last season which I thought held up well in the circumstances. But getting them to Bishop on a regular basis might prove easier said than done if they don't get the results they seem to be assuming they will.

Realism does seem to be in short supply over in darlo. Talk of grounds like Chesterfield's is surely pie in the sky at present. That's a cracking stadium but darlo have a very long way to go before they can think about that sort of ground.

If you're interested Mr Mullet and aren't aware you can buy his stuff on sacredcow.com. It's run by his mate Kevin Booth. I got some rare stuff off there.

At least one of them seems to have had a reality check.......




Maybe we've got to look at it from their viewpoint.

They see a club with no ground of their own playing ten miles from their home town.
They see a club they tried to help last season with bucket collections and in some cases even attending our matches instead of theirs at the end of the season to show support and raise us some funds.
They see a club who has spent the last few years going from one financial crisis to the next.
They see a club with massive debts, much of it not being paid back.
They see a club who has been demoted due to their financial mismanagement.
They see a group of supporters who when they comment on this then come on Uncovered and report back that the rest of the NL is basically jealous.
They see a group of supporters who claim they are a big club, but all they are right now are a large group of supporters of an untested, homeless NL1 club.
They see a club whom the FA has labelled a new club, and a group of supporters whining about the fact and claiming that the FA is wrong and "we're not, we're the same club".
They see a group of supporters who when asked where their team will come in the league this season say "first" but call them idiots when they say the same about their teams.
They see a club charging massively over the odds for their home matches, which the away supporters will then have to pay to support their own teams. They see a club whose supporters when going to away matches will then pay less to see the same level of football.
They see a club charging £50 for parking at their borrowed ground, a club whose supporters have suggested making the HPark bar for small proportion of paid up Darlo supporters only.
They see a club selling every seat in their stand(s) to home supporters and reserving any disabled seating for their own supporters without any thought for travelling support.
They see a group of supporters who when they try and give us facts call them names and make comments about whippets.
I could go on.

My god, I'm starting to hate us.

Yes I'll probably get shouted down for this. But do like I did. Re-read some of the threads on here and on NLZ from their viewpoint.
