I’d say more than a few Cass, across various social media platforms. Something we know playing and non-playing staff read. Also, slagging off the team causing Roberts to retaliate?
He definitely played, on Saturday, like he was proving a point.

Strikes me as a player who is often busy-busy-busy, passing here and passing there (usually sideways or backwards), busy-busy, running over here and doing some pointing, busy-busy… but with absolutely no real influence and no vision whatsoever of the bigger picture.
… the fact the Board won’t tell you the investors name should be enough to tell you all that something is seriously not right…
It might not actually be the board’s call. It could be some sort of a contractual condition.
Id have him back tomorrow, the grounds sorted for him, club debt free.
Doubt we would have seen the inaction we have over the last 3/4 weeks needing the squad strengthening. Better to try and fail than not to try at all.You’re fishing, I’m sure. Not even an idiot would actually make a post like this and mean it.
It is possible that a year is enough to get his head straight, but with regards to him I felt it wasn’t sincere. He only ever brought it up to use to deflect from serious questions about his character and actions, as well as to try and deflect responsibility.
Exactly.
… the inability to control the midfield…
This is going to be crucial this season. We currently have next to no presence, there.
If, indeed, it IS Hilton then doesn’t the very fact he’s up and at another football club so soon after an experience that (to paraphrase him) drove him to the darkest places mentally, then he’s a total fool. I’d suggest that, actually, he’s bided his time and is now piling in on someone vulnerable with his ulterior motive – whatever that may be…
Apologies for the nonsensical grammar, here. Fat thumbs and rushing.

Not coming off
I’ve not been convinced by the style of play ,even the wins seems laboured
You’re saying they were never on in the first place, then?
If Darlington are paying out a jackpot of £1000 per month with a further eight prizes of £50 on the back of only charging £5 per month there’s something seriously wrong with our payouts.
You’re judging our club’s financial acumen by somebody else’s. I’d suggest our prizes are reasonable wins and if Darlington are into paying out a grand a time there’s something wrong with theirs!
2, failure in their promise to increase the lottery jackpot, and to do a weekly prize.
3,change the 50/50 draw into a £500 maximum prize money.Ultimately, you don’t actually have to enter these competitions / draws. And if you do, and you win, your winnings will be a lot higher than your stake. So in the end what’s the big issue?
Re: the lottery. Perhaps at the current time the take up has not been significant enough to actually make an alteration to the jackpot without busting the club’s margin?

1. Inflation busting season ticket price rises
The correct perspective for your first point is: A season ticket still represents exceptional value. The price per match is significantly less than if you just turn up and buy on the day, so very good despite an increase in cost.

Michelle’s panty liners v Stu’s match worn underpants sexism at its worst
This kind of humour represents a race to the bottom.

Amongst other efforts (season ticket, cup match tickets, shares, extra donations etc) I’d personally be more inclined to support the club through buying merchandise if it wasn’t such absolute fucking tat. The company producing the merch may be able to operate the printing machines etc but they have very little artistic or design merit. Some of the stuff churned out looks bloody awful.
And perhaps you could volunteer to lick it up.
Why would I do that?
Apple crumble cheesecake ffs. Who’d have ever thought you’d see that being sponsored.
Start spending some of the sponsorship money starting with the men’s bogs in the Dre like walking through a bog the amount of piss on the floor.You could volunteer to mop it up?
The remarkable level of sponsorship opportunities being found by the club is what fighting for your life looks like. Well done all, I say.

Shouldn’t this thread be in the Blast Furnace ..!?
Looked decent rather than spectacular in pre season. Played well when he came on second half at Brackley but has been fairly anonymous in his other outings.
I thought he looked good in the pre-season stuff I saw, but that hasn’t really transferred to league form at all.
I along with IFA and many others were completely taken in and deceived by WHAM. Trying to see the best in people doesn’t always work out
Without wishing to sound The League Of Gentlemen about it, the first reaction to any owner with absolutely zero connection to the club’s town should be “What do they actually want?”

I’m not sure if the signs ever came down or if they were robbed for posterity.
They were up until a couple of months ago.

That ‘new stadium’ thing was a complete load of bollocks and the land was never bought. He may well have made some initial agreement with the owner of the land to buy which enabled him to put up the ‘acquired by SUFC’ signs at the actual site, or he may not. Either way it was just a very public chess move in David Hilton’s attempts to put pressure on an awkward Peter Swann to sell GP (and surrounding land) to him.

I thought the early releases were all only a few months ,not years left
It was reported on the news that the early release system will mean most prisoners serve about 40% of their sentence, rather than the current 50%.
As for Mr Herbery out early so can fit more rioters in the jails possibly .. wasnt he banned for AAGP?
This is what I was wondering, too.
What’s happened to Simon Elliot? Does he. No longer attend or just removed from his perch?
Listen to the laast Bru podcast interview with Michelle Harness.
She does seem to hint that he had a little cry and took his ball home.
His best mate Simon Elliott not being around any more is a good start as it surely limits sympathetic ears within the club.
If it is indeed him I’m sure the Matlock fans will be singing ‘there’s only one David Hilton’, tattooing his fizzog on their butt cheeks and offering anyone out (and worse) who has their doubts about him in no time. Stone Island and Nokia mobile sales will go through the roof
I hear Herbert’s out of clink soon, perhaps he can move to Matlock and do some Useful Idioting.
Wasn’t trying to alter your point just explaining why Glanford Park sounds so 1980s, if built in the 2010s it might have been sponsored by our current local authority and called the NL Arena, it doesn’t matter its not important most ground names are bland IMO.
Thanks for fansplaining.
Agreed keep the money rolling in whatever they want to call it, it will always be GP to the Iron faithful, couldn’t give a toss what the press call it long as the Dosh rolls in, remember, no Dosh no club, that’s how it works.
Always been such a shite name though, Glanford Park. Very 1980s.
Could it be because it was built in the 1980s? Old Trafford, Anfield, both named after city districts both boring as hell but its tradition, sometimes tradition is boring thats what makes it so English.
None of that alters my point!
