Despite a 4-0 loss at home to second place Abbey Hey on Saturday, they are top of the league by six points.

(former councillor) It's easy to knock Darwen FC but at least they have some fans who are trying to support the club - not like those so called 'fans' who boycotted Blackburn under Keane. It's a pity they didn't turn up to support Darwen at the time because if they were true football supporters they would support their true local team! Look what Accrington have been able to achieve!

I take it you mean AFC Darwen the fans are turning up to support, quite obviously the fans did not support Darwen FC in their hour of need. Although some offered their services but were ignored, help must not have been part of the bigger plan.

Darwen FC WAS supported - but the damage done by Ted Ward was irreversible, unless someone came forward with a massive donation. AFC Darwen may be the re-formed club, but it will always be considered by its fans as still being Darwen FC.

What on earth was that ? There are people in darwen with true rapping talent that would have been more than happy to donate time for this. Granted they are doing something but that was not at all anywhere near anything like a rap :-(
