Howdy blog-boys and girls!
Prepare yourselves for a unashamedly football based blog entry, as yes, we are now less than a week from the start of the football season! This Saturday Darlington kick off the season away to Aldershot, and this season is definitely going to be an interesting one. Over the summer break it has been a case of all change for Darlo, having been in administration and subsequently sold on to a new owner. We have only kept on two players from the previous season, most leaving to ensure they have a club next season when it was looking touch and go. Somehow we have managed to keep hold of Steve Foster and Ian Miller, which is an excellent pairing to build from.
Colin Todd has taken control of the team along with Dean Windass as his assistant, which should be an interesting pairing. They don't come more experienced in football than Mr Todd, who played under the great Brian Clough during his playing days and has managed the likes of Bolton and Bradford. Windass however is in his first management position, and hasn't yet hung up his boots as a player, so should still be able to bag us a few goals.
My first game of the season should be the Leeds United game on Monday, which is our League Cup first round fixture, and is going to be live on Sky for any of you who fancy watching it (those of you local should get yourself to the What-ever-it's-going-to-be-called-this-season Stadium to watch mind!). Really looking forward to this as they always turn up in numbers and generate an excellent atmosphere.
Thanks kiddies - Roll on Saturday!
