We have been absolutely shifted royally in the last 20 years with dodgy owners, but hey ho. We move.
For me Reynolds wasn't even the worst one. He just had a big arsed ego and thought by building that big bottom stadium - We'd find the fans. Truly barmy, we never wanted to go there.
Raj Singh is the worst we've had. Truly horrific bloke in charge, not sure how he's wound up at another club after bending us over and f**cking us over.
When we got demoted, the FA declared us a "new" club which meant changing the legal name of the club basically. So we went to Darlington FC 1883, but a few years ago we got our original name back.
We aren't a new club, as when we as fans took over the club we took on all the debts left by Raj Singh (Now in charge of Hartlepool) and the one player left on the books. We only had the name change because Singh refused to release the CVA which would have enabled us to continue us as Darlington FC.
So we got demoted to the Northern League and gained 3 promotions in 4 years to get where we are now. National League North.
Currently sharing a Rugby Club at a ground that is truly atrocious for a viewing point for a paying customer. But until we can find some land to develop a new ground, we are currently stagnated where we are (fighting to stay up after the dreadful appointment of Josh Gowling earlier in the season).
Keep up the good work Andy such a shame for the town without a football club a town has no heartbeat |

Genuinely saddened by Darlington’s long drawn out plight. Spent my early adult years living in ‘Boro and working in and around Darlo, and met my wife there who hails from nearby Northallerton. I know a couple of Darlington fans through her, and you know when you’re chatting to fans of other clubs and they’ve had it notably tougher than you as a supporter of Grimsby, that they’ve had a rough ride. I remember driving past the Arena as it was nearing completion. It would have been 2003, and at that point it time it would have been one of the most modern grounds in the country. For all its fundamental flaws, it was an incredibly impressive stadium at the time when taken at face value, and man I was jealous. It’s just such a shame how it turned out for Darlo. I know it’s not how it works, but I’d much rather an EFL with Darlington, Bury, Hartlepool, Oldham and Southend than one with Forest Green, Harrogate, Salford, Crawley and Fleetwood. |
