I'd imagine so It has a 20,000 capacity and the most Darlo ever get is 2 or 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 From .com Tickets: Adults £10, juniors £5. Now on general sale. Darlo have confirmed that tickets will be available on Saturday, but must be bought from the ticket office at the ground. If you're intending to doing that, allow plenty of time to queue at both ticket office and then turnstiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13915 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Then is just depends on going there early I suppose. Looks a decent ground, 1.3 mile from the train station like but I imagine it will be easy to just follow the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13915 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I think when people are walking through urban surroundings a mile seems a lot further then when you can see where you're going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 yeah im going going back up to Darlington this weekend and will be meeting mates for pre match drinks at the whetherspoons in town. Pretty bog standard spoons, if you're after real ale then try the Quaker house. If you're just after general drinks whetherspoons and the lloyds will provide that for you. STAY AWAY from the pennyfarthing. Mackem pub, I went in last christmas holidays not realising, Loads of 2-1 derby pictures Needless to say, it was a swift pint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnthebrief 0 Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 The word from the Darlo groundsman as at 10.15 this morning is that the game is likely to go ahead.

themags 0 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 there are a few buses that run from the town centre to the stadium If you do fancy the walk, I belive that you need to get on neasham road and keep walking, it's a massive long road but the stadium is at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
