Maybe your right it’s a pity that more, myself included didn’t get involved 4/5 years ago . There are no rights and wrongs of when people chose to go and watch football or indeed who they watch. I will probably be in my 3rd or 4th stint of watching darvel since I was 6 years old and I am now 45 with kids of my own of which my eldest is five and he is just getting into football. Is it wrong that I have chose to take my son like my dad did with me to watch darvel. Out of interest when did you first watch darvel and do you still?

I’m quite sure you know who I am as never hid behind a user name,and of course it’s great that you take your son, my point was as you said more help 4/5 season ago would have been good.

Thedoomed123 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Unbelievable.. as soon as a positive bit of information gets put up about Darvel everyone comes back to have a wee dig. It’s great to see we have signed up our boys on longer deals. As for the support, maybe it’s down to the chairman trying hard to get the valley locals down to support the team again.. the man deserves alot of credit for his efforts. Looking forward to the next home match and will be bringing my son down to watch his first VALE game!! The support is only going to increase with the next generation starting to come along! ALL POSITIVE DOON THE BRAE MOAN THE VALE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvel Dave Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 It’s a pity those supporters didn’t get involved four or five seasons ago when it was needed, even turning up to games would have helped but it was the individual supporters that were left to it until last season when th team was capable of winning the league. Some of the fans who are there just now have been going on and off for the past 25 or so years ( some even longer ) not just the past 5, everyone has their own reasons for that whether it's work, families, both or playing a sport etc, I even remember watching darvel when DL thought he was a player!
