THIS REVIEW IS BASED ON THE VISIT DATED: 21/10/2004

Can I interest anyone in a spare seat? If you are interested, please go to the pictures at the bottom of this page, taken 4 minutes before kick off (yes, 4 minutes, not 40). Now, why they decided to build a stadium this big for a team that can never realistically fill it unless they reach the Premiership (lmao). I never particully liked going to Darlington either here or Feethams, I just didn't see how it could possibly be a good trip even if we won. I remember when I became a regular Lincoln fan, Darlington were favourites to win the league, my how times have changed.

Getting the ground is quite easy as it is located out of town and came been seen for a long distance around. Don't worry about getting there early because you'll still have plenty of chance to choose your seat. Describing the ground is quite easy, a big round, red bowl. Simple really isn't it, the only differences between the stands is what is written on them. The one to our left had nothing written on it, the far one had "COME ON DARLO" written without middle allignment so it looks really silly, the EMPTY (as in not opened) stand to our right simply reads "Darlington" whereas the away fans section has "QUAKERS" written on it. The view of the action is very good and there is plenty of leg room and a good amount of noise can be created in the ground.

However, I still don't and probably never will enjoy going to Darlington, it's nothing personal against them but I just don't like going there.
