Don't let the facts get in the way of a good rumour, the coaches are Danny Brown, John Newton (Both allready at DMP) and Neil and Richie Young who are ex players, Simon is working locally as a pharmacist, nothing sinister there for people to chew about!!

My old teammate at Stockton says Mowden arev busy tapping  players at local clubs even down to level 6 and 7 although Boro and Billingham have most to fear.
Wouldn’t rule out Scarborough either BRB - give lads a chance to play in a proper stadium, apparently.

Don't think Billingham have anything to fear. From one of the most competitive seasons in national league history.

I dont think any team should fear losing players who are wishing to move on. There are a number of ex DMP players at Billingham, Tynedale, Consett, Blaydon and even Barnard Castle who would certainly consider getting back into the DMP fold under Danny and Newts, and many more younger players throughout the regions who's game will improve under these guys. 

I believe the arena has been an anchor and hopefully it will soon be a thing of the past for DMP

So where is the money coming from now A lad travelling from Scarborough would want some considerable expenses plus match fee

Said ‘lad’ must be looking to further career development with the voluntary previous and now reappointed coaching staff

Let’s support the volunteer staff at not only DMP but all clubs and if they are bringing in talent and developing that talent it should be supported.

Not at only a playing level but coaching referring groundskeeping and throughout

The Scarborough reference was just to get a bite from BRB.
It’s the volunteer coaches at other clubs who are unhappy with the way players they have developed are being tapped. Not something new of course.
