Reflections on the Darlington Arena to be published in due course

..

The Darlington Arena from the airthere was little to commend the place but the provision of extensive car parking and decent access to the A1 (M) was one of the plusses!

..

The North Stand – you always knew where you were with DFC emblazoned on the seats, and in my visits never in use so always visible

..

The West Stand – for home supporters

..

The East Stand – for visitors. It provided a decent view down the ground
