Durham City AFC are currently homeless, without a win in two years and suspended from the league after being unable to field a team. It’s a story more than 25 years in the making. A thread. #savedurhamcity 1/15

Wrong account Chris, this is the one you ‘don’t have access to’, remember?

Hahah what a load of shit. Grifters always going to grift. He wouldn’t give anyone the steam off his piss nevermind the twitter account he used for all his abuse.

I'd like to state that I am not the owner/operator of the @DurhamCity_AFC Ultras account. It was given away to a former Durham employee/creditor two years ago. While disappointed with the @GatesheadFC mess, we wish the club well. "The club is its people" - Sir Alex.

Yes, it’s THAT Chris Tanner. I swear to god if he gets in any way involved, I’m done and so would the club more than likely. Very dubious him being active on the Heed Army page.

Exciting news out of Durham City. Not hid the fact that Bernard was at the heart of what’s gone wrong so hopefully a new dawn. Challenges remain but a big anchor cast aside it seems.

Wonder if Durham City quietly changing from AFC to FC has any deeper meaning? A new registration? Technicality to move on from OB? What’s in the name change @Durham_City_FC ?

Football in Durham really is jinxed. Hope a solution is forthcoming for this desperate situation.

I wrote this about it last night and finished it this morning. It is embarrassing. Takes something massive away from non-league too which is giving people a chance! jamie-tarrant.blog/articles/…

Someone take AI away from these non league sides 🤮 Just pure laziness, whip something up on canva, it'll look 1 million times better and more original. There's plenty of volunteers who will do you a decent match poster free of charge. It's getting embarrassing.

He speaks! True in many senses but sadly his name is still on the deeds. Sell it on for a token amount, engage with people and let the club rebuild properly.

You must realise how that sounds? The owner has no input or interest.

Why does he need to give a statement when he has no input or interest in the club

Putting the knife in? Pointing out the sorry state of affairs. 🤷‍♂️ Like many have said many times, keeping the club going is just making its death slower. Bernard’s refusal to relinquish ownership is the ongoing problem. Another manager gone, coaches gone, is anyone left?

Replying to @SaveDurhamCity @seedorf77
When we get the likes of save Durham city always wanting to put the knife into the club. At the club we are doing our utmost to keep Durham going. Should rename yourselves ‘let’s have a go at Durham City’

Scarcely believable where this club is heading. 15-16 years ago they were 2-3 promotions from the EFL and now they could be relagated to the Wearside League third division. Conceding nearly 6 goals a game on average with -74 GD. Time for that statement @seedorf77 ?
Durham City FC@Durham_City_FCFeb 18
Last nights result Deerness 11 Durham 0 All we can do is apologise for the result they were obviously the better team but we let our selves down from minute 1 to minute 90 Hopefully we can analyse what went wrong and put in good display at home to Coxhoe on Saturday

Trying to find out the latest @Durham_City_AFC score. There was a post saying 4-0 down but it’s since been deleted. Anyone know the score?
