The current seating plans of circa 500 plus the 120 already at Blackwell Meadows, should be enough to satisfy our demands in the short-term. We can only offer 150 covered seats at Bishop Auckland. I really hope that we can raise the funds to hit a 3,000 capacity ground straight off and reach the...

Here is a little update on off-the-field matters... Blackwell Meadows: We raised the initial £225,000 on the 20th of March, just 2 weeks after the fundraising initiative was launched! The target was then set to £300,000, this should allow us to improve Blackwell Meadows to a 3,000 capacity...

Any idea how Jon Macken is getting on? Didn't do much against us but I think that was his first game.

Darlington FC 0-1 Northwich Victoria Attendance: 1,112 Darlington FC 3-0 Lancaster City (David Dowson, Tom Portas, Leon Scott) Attendance: 896 Play-offs it is then. 4 defeats in our last 6 games has meant the wheels are off. I don't fancy us in the play-offs, as we struggle to beat...

Clitheroe FC 2-1 Darlington FC (David Dowson 06') Lancaster City 2-0 Salford City Previous form: L/W/W/W/L/L/W/L Simply not good enough, we are bottling it. Lancaster, Northwich, Prescot all home up for us next. All must win.

Haven't done an update in a while, so I'll do a pretty big one now... Playing Side: We lost 3-2 to Farsley just before beating Bamber Bridge 2-1 last Saturday. Nathan Cartman and Terry Galbraith got the goals against Farsley. Portas and Scott against Bamber Bridge. Andrew Cartwright has gone...

He shouldn't be playing at our level. He bagged an 18 minute hattrick against us the other week.

Kendal Town 4-2 Darlington FC (Ian Watson, Terry Galbraith) Deary me. Only team that is going to stop us winning this league and that is ourselves.

I guess our main poor results came in September when we lost to Droylsden and Salford and drawn with Farsley and Radcliffe Borough, this was sandwiched with being knocked out the FA Cup by Blyth too. We won our next 9 after that which turned things around a bit. Not easy given our run in being...

Harrogate RA 1-5 Darlington FC (Nelson Mota 34', Terry Galbraith 50', 80', 83', Graeme Armstrong 70') Good result today against a 6th placed Harrogate side as of this morning. A team unbeaten in 12 successive home games. More-so impressive given the absence of Alan White, Chris Hunter, Adam...

Padiham 1-3 Darlington FC (Nelson Mota 45', Graeme Armstrong 82', Stephen Thompson 84') Top of the league now on goal difference. Level with Salford and 3 points above Northwich with 3 games in hand over both. Next up is Harrogate RA (A) on Saturday.

Darlington FC 5-0 Ossett Town (Terry Galbraith 08', Gary Brown 44', 87', Nathan Cartman 55', Tom Portas 65') Attendance: 959 Good result, and much needed after a difficult past week. Northwich lost today and Salford had a game called off. This leaves us level on points with Northwich with...

No it's not, the set-up was quite poor in all honesty. Programmes were sold out by 1.30PM, the bar was closed from 3PM-5PM and even when it was open there was a 40 minute queue for pints. When the bar was shut this significantly reduced toilet facilities, and this meant there were none for the...

Always are a few idiots in a large crowd. The facilities were massively overwhelmed yesterday by a large crowd. They need to smarten up a bit if they have aspirations of moving up the leagues. That in no way condones the actions of a minority however. Maybe Mrs Baird should focus on how to...

Jemfy, we did not go bust. Whilst the failure to obtain the 'Golden Share' is consistent with clubs who have gone bust there are many inconsistencies from clubs who have gone bust and our situation in the summer of 2012. Darlington1883Ltd completed the full takeover of the club, the assets and...

Well it was really. Whilst the FA forced us to change our name, we still are Darlington Football Club. The FA has allowed us to keep our history, and if we went bust we would have had to wait a year before we could play football again. This did not happen. The only reason for the name change...

Salford City 2-0 Darlington FC Shock we've been done over again. White and Mitchell sent off for dissent. Gray and Atkinson sent to the stands. Really don't know when we will learn. 6 points behind Salford with 5 games in hand and 3 behind Northwich with 4 games in hand now. A little mention...

I do not know the current grading of Blackwell Meadows as a football stadium as it has not yet been used as one as far as I am aware. All I know is that the upgrades we are looking at financing and then constructing will get us up to Grade C (Step 3). After that, we will have to improve...

Ossett Albion 0-2 Darlington FC (Graeme Armstrong 27', Stephen Thompson 64') Salford City lost 3-1 away at Brighouse Town, with also having 2 men sent off, however Northwich won away at Prescot Cables 3-2. This leaves us 3 points off both Salford & Northwich with 5 games in hand. We play...

In short, no. We submitted planning permission mid-December to Darlington Borough Council in order to upgrade the infrastructure at Blackwell Meadows where Darlington Rugby Football Club are currently based. This includes incorporating the temporary stand we have at Bishop Auckland along one...
