en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darlington_F.C.

128 year old club. looks like they may play final game on saturday...

This is why clueless bussinessmen are killing the game. This club played at a modest little ground called Feethams. it was the average lower league ground, 3 terraces and a modern perfectly conditioned seated main stand. it was righ in the town centre and easy to access. Darlo averaged crowds in the 2000/3000 range.

Then a man called George Reynolds bought the club and had a 25,000 all seater build for the club. 11 months later he dropped them in administration and fucked off. for 8 years now the club has averaged attendances of 2200 in a 25k stadium. he has essentially killed the club.

the club have now announced no home games can be played as only 5 non-playing staff remain. but if no buyer comes by 17th Jan it will be wound up.

This will not be the first historic club to die, many others will soon pay the price of bad managment. football as a whole is dying

Feethams

NE Darlington Arena

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: Why has the banner gone black? Oct 11, 2024 12:36:27 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Halloween theme I reckon bonehead's barber Oct 13, 2024 14:08:59 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5

ginwaiting: Hey I was lucky to get tickets for Heaton Park on the 19th July, my mate also got tickets so we have all decided to go on another night so I would like to sell my tickets for the 19th. Please drop me a message if you interested. Thanks Nov 6, 2024 7:17:10 GMT -5
