They must rattle around in that stadium. It least the food kiosk queue would be short though.

I do agree that we dodged a bullet with Staunton. I would also say though, that no one, but no one could have kept Darlington in the Football League.Title: Re: Darlo sack Staunton Post by: Peter Venkman on Sunday, March 21, 2010, 16:18:13 I do agree that we dodged a bullet with Staunton. I would also say though, that no one, but no one could have kept Darlington in the Football League. That is very true, it was pretty much a lost cause from before the season started. Title: Re: Darlo sack Staunton Post by: Rich Pullen on Sunday, March 21, 2010, 16:40:54 Before he was on the nationals, Mark Clemmit worked quite hard to try and get people to go to Darlington matches and when they got a truly awful turn out near to the end of last season despite being close to the Play-Offs, I think old Clemmit gave up on them there and then and made a remark along those lines.
I don't see much of a future for them. Title: Re: Darlo sack Staunton Post by: THE FLASH on Tuesday, March 23, 2010, 18:56:55 What happened to the bloke who made the kitchen tops??
Title: Re: Darlo sack Staunton Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, March 23, 2010, 19:14:07 Think our lowest ever crowd was against Darlo. 1680 +me....it's certainly our lowest crowd in recentish years, but I believe we once had lower v Torquay, but can't be arsed to look. 83/84 the dark before the dawn. Ben Squeamish as manager, we could boast Rowland, Mayes, Quinn and Garry Nelson up front although AR turned out a bit in defence, but the midfield was shite with the execrable Gary (Gladys) Emmanuel, although Dave Hockaday was steady before dropping back and finding his true position. I loved it back then....football was so unsexy. The likes of Chelsea used to get a regular 12/13 000...our visit to Chester got 880. Title: Re: Darlo sack Staunton Post by: leefer on Tuesday, March 23, 2010, 19:17:42 Was there as well Reg...seem to remember Emmanuel having one decent game at Ashton Gate v City,in the Days when City were struggling in the old fourth.

I missed that game...being in France at the time. However I think there's a vid of it on the Banyard site. I suppose Emmanuel was fit and did his best, but he was just very modest, a bit like a left footed, cross between Matt Hewlett and Booby Howe. Someone like Gareth Whalley is more deserving of opprobrium, but got away with it by always being injured. |
