Heard on the vine that our Budget is 950K for the SEASON.

Think we need a minor miracle on that.

"The figure comes from a board member.

What is the point of signing them but not announcing? That makes no sense if true

Darlington have a boost the budget where it all goes to purchasing players. This year the target is £175K and a few days ago I believe it had reached £100K. Last season they reached £150K and then when they looked doomed for relagation piped up £30K to bring in players to help avoid it.

They are a fans owned club, if we have something like
That then we should get an ownership in the club

Step 4 is Whitby level, step 5 is Redcar Athletic and Guisborough Town. Let's hope it's more division 4 as Nd 5 which would be league 2 and national league

If If and If, The person who posted this in the past has been pretty consistent with signings.
So we will see.

Loyal Fan - Do you honestly believe we could be a fan owned club and if we did do you believe we could reach the level Darlo have. Remember Darlo are only gets of 1000+ Personally I don’t but everybody can have an opinion.

Wouldn’t mind signing him, his old fella’s got money, influence and miracles and the 15-0 victory’s ever week would be appreciated.

Surprised no teams from our division are fast moving to get Gatesheads best talent.
Surely these southern teams with half our fan base are going to get there before us. Or even South Shields or Spennymoor.
Still give it time hey.
If ya not fast ya last.
Less promotion vibes than this time last year.

Forget Promotion.
It’s old hat, that was yesterday’s thing.
The new thing is to finish middle of the table so you don’t offend the other teams.
Any fool can finish top, but finishing middle is difficult too.
So we buy middle of the road players whom aren’t too competitive so we can land bang in the middle, it’s the future.

if thats the future it will go with falling gates as well. not many really expected much last season once the injuries kicked in but if the club does not treat last season as a stepping stone for better things then they should not be shocked if gates drop below 3k.

Ive heard Rohan Ince is still the big signing and we have paid money for him as hes on the transfer list for some reason.

Blakett was meant to be all done and dusted too - aswell as Lambert from Kiddy.

Looking at some lad from Blyth and possibly an old name coming back to us from L2 so deffo truth in that

what will be more interesting for me is the positions of the first couple of signings. a new midfield is needed and if it them that do come in it will show us the type of player we are going to get.

Rohan Ince is the BIG signing, 31 year old Woking don't want doesn't really scream marquee singing. Blackett worth a shot after having such a good season. Not seen much of Lambert.

I wonder why he was transfer listed, they have signed beautyman who has been quality in this keague in the past.

Thanks for the information Eiphos. Just been on the Woking forum and I cannot find anyone at all who rates Ince sctatchinghead Infact a lot want rid quickly and have never rated him at all. They apparently paid £30,000 for him and paid him top wages. I am getting a bad feeling about us signing this Ince bloke now and personally hope we don't. :roll:

Looking at the Woking retained list he is transfer listed on that along with Pavey ( contract now terminated by both parties ) and two others.

Just checked the Kiddy board about this Lambert bloke and he is popular. He is described as a creative midfielder by the supporters :grin: Now he should be well worth a punt. :wink
Some say they are delighted he is still under contract and staying put. :roll: :

How about reverse grids like they do in Formula 2 and Touring cars?

Top 1 goes up automatically then you reverse grid the next 10 teams so teams 11 to 6 go into the playoffs.

That'll cause some interest at the end of the season. Do you push on to try and get top but failing to finish first means no playoffs or capitulate in mid Feb and hope to fall down enough but not too far for a run at the playoffs?

Seriously tho assuming Mani O goes, he provides cover across CB and RB, despite the noise none of the youth players should be seen as ready for a regular place yet

Hendrie is also a good last resort for LB and defensive midfield too. I'd trust him to do a decent job pretty much anywhere outside of the net.

yes, steady if not exactly spectacular. i,d like to see lambert as well as i regularly watched the darlo highlights before and after we signed dodds and he looked one of their better players and an upgrade on crawford.
