Jesus.

He won’t help you he’s neutral.

Well i,ve got tears in my eyes but think its my eye drops thats the problem.

WTF? Sounds like he's having a medical emergency. I guess that's what happens if you watch football coked up.

bet i,m not the only one even as a kid calling em the quackers where the last 20 odd years have proved our childish minds to be right.

Every club has a fruit loop!! Hes been well hammered on twitter by every other Darlo fan thats seen it, totally embarrassing.

Just shake your head and walk away with a smile on your face.

Certainly true about ever club having a fruit loop or I would say a fruit loop or two. I remember watching Pools lose 3-1 at Dagenham in the NL. As the players were leaving the pitch, the away fans gathered as the players walked past. One of the people masquerading as Pools fan was shouting so much abuse at the Pools players, it was unbelievable, "Fing rubbish, Fing disgrace..." and many more at the top of his voice. Mymate, said "That guy must be ill". It was as if he was taking out all the misery in his life on the Pools players. I was embarrassed and I was ashamed to be a Poolie at that moment. I hope that bloke has had some help.

Some absolute muppets followed us during the NL days, most on coke and more interested in fighting fellow fans and abusing stewards than actual football.

Yep, the bloke at Dagenham was a prime example of that type.

They liked the Away days in london and Kent as they had longer to tank up.

In flight refuelling….?

says deleted when I click on it--what was it?

Just a Darlo fan making a dick of himself at the Blyth players as they were coming off the pitch on Tuesday. You really haven’t missed anything worth watching!

At the risk of being lynched, I love to see Darlo back in the league. As long as we’re still there of course! There is no game on the planet bigger that Pools v Darlo for fans of either club.

true. we can all take rhe piss out of them but the vast majority would love to see their name on a league 1 or 2 fixture list. possibly the only game that i,d ever travel up just to buy a ticket for would be them.

Guess I would like us to be back in the league but I have really enjoyed our non league years, especially when the majority of games were northern based.
However the national league north has the club needing to pay for 10 overnight stays due to the length of the journey. Really cant be arsed travelling that far every other week these days.
The only long distance ones I miss were the London ones where it was a day out on the train.

Agree makes Rangers v Celtic look like handbags at dawn!

would not be too bad if the national league north meant north. no way brackley, banburt, gloucester and peterborough can be classed as northern even for a lancashire based club never mind darlo.

I reckon they’ve drawn a line from the Wash to the Severn to balance the numbers and redefined the ‘North’……too many South Eastern clubs ?

think there was a reason why this happened in the first place due to how clubs and leagues are graded in the pyramid giving the southerners an extra place for years till it got sorted out. actually it might have had something to do with the northern league but do not quote me on it.

well we have no chance of playing them this season. knocked out of the fa cup at the mighty hyde.

It is strange to have teams like Hereford in the Northern part but the way it's worked out is quite basic. You get the 40 odd teams listed out, work out where they are geographically then draw a half way line at the middle point, what else could they do? It's a national league split in two - north and south.

I always thought they worked it out by miles to be travelled. If 4 southern based sides went down from the national league then 2 will have to be placed in the northern section so go off who travels the least of for away games, that's how I thought it was done anyway.

not quite correct there. if say 4 london area or those below london were relegated a couple of more northern based sides would leave the south to join the northern section. this happened to oxford city who went north to south because of this. back in division 3 north and south days i think a couple of midlands clubs like port vale and notts county played in both sections.

Certainly bangs the costs up for clubs like Hereford or Gloucester. Money diverted to travelling and possible overnight stays will take away from the kitty for signings.
While the London clubs can be there in half an hour, money in the bank on travel expenses.
I wonder what the travel costs are for us, being out on a limb geographically like Carlisle , compared to a club like Northampton for instance.

really doubt they,d need an overnight stop unless they wanted to do for anywhere apart from carlisle and possibly pools. i used to live a couple of junctions further up the M1 and every club apart from the north eastern and carlisle ones were no more than 150 miles from me with most far less than that.
