Darlington
 

Are many of you coming then?

For those of you coming by car, best place to park is at the Stadium, although it costs £5.

Away fans are welcome in the TinShed Bar, at the ground.

Have to say I'm expecting 3 points, so if you'd just like to roll over and die, it'd be much appreciated.

Re: Darlington
 

Nope.

Its only 16 quid to get in.

You could try parking two miles away from the stadium, as everywhere else you would get a ticket.

Just trying to be helpful

Re: Darlington
 

No, the help is appreciated.

But it's £21 to do it safely if you're on your own :( .

Re: Darlington
 

That's a disgrace. Fleecing the fans yet again.

Re: Darlington
 

There is nothing we can do about the parking charge, that was set by the Council. But £5 beats a £40 fine for parking on a no matchday parking road, which all of the roads in the vicinity are (again, down to the council)

As for the £16, thats a competetive price to sit in a vast, all seated, empty arena.

Kids under 7 are free, 7-11 are £5, 11-16 are £7, so bring your sprogs!

Re: Darlington
 

Two seats left on minibus and no worry about parking costs so come book on only £15

Re: Darlington
 

:D 16 squid your having a laugh rip off britain costs u that to get into barcelona :Banane49:

Re: Darlington
 

16 quid and you can`t even stand up.

Hope your stewards are`nt the kind who go round telling people to sit down.

There won`t be loads travelling up there on a Tuesday night but the Ultras will be coming to brighten your place up and make a lot of noise under your lovely roof.

And NO ! Stanley will not roll over and die, we`ll be battling you to the final whistle so don`t think the 3 points is a forgone conclusion.

"Hope your stewards are`nt the kind who go round telling people to sit down."

Fraid they are! Or were last season on a Tuesday night when there was less than 300 County Fans in a stand that holds over 3,000!

Re: Darlington
 

I know, its ridiculous isn't it?

Telling people to sit down in an all seater stadium, whatever will they think of next?

Re: Darlington
 

Why build all seater stadia.
Flippin Posture Nazi`s.
The only good comments we`ve had about the ground this year is the fact that there`s somewhere to stand up.
Standing up is Ultra Philosophy.
Sitting down is for pensioners.

Re: Darlington
 

Its like this. The rule is that you sit in an all seater stadium.

It is dangerous to stand up and dance about with no crush barriers. If you trip and fall, you've got a long way to tumble at our ground, bouncing off peoples heads as you go.

There are no special rules for "Ultras", you'll get thrown out if you continually stand.

Re: Darlington
 

We had this 'conversation' months ago, but unfortunately some people think that the rules apply to everyone but them. Some people have to learn the hard way I'm afraid.

Re: Darlington
 

I`ll bring me pipe and slippers then.

Re: Darlington
 

Must be lenient stewards at Chelsea, I've never seen Roman Abramovich sitting down. Might help if you own the club, mind :) .

Zero, no pipe after July 1st. :eek:

Re: Darlington
 

Well the match is tomorrow, so pipes are still ok :D

Re: Darlington
 

Darlington fans have this argument every week amongst themselves. Theres always somebody twining about the stewards attitude. The fact is the stewards have to tell people to sit down, and often get abused when carrying out this basic task.

I'll be honest, it makes no difference to me whether I sit or stand, I'm equally as comfortable sitting in a stand, or standing on a rain soaked terrace.

It is human nature for people to stand up when you score or get a corner, you just can't help it, but as long as you sit down in reasonable time the stewards seem to have no problem with it....its those that stand continually through the match that get "grief", and rightly so, as not only are they are a danger but they are blocking the view of the bloke sat behind.

Re: Darlington
 

There's usually about 150 of us for night matches (Lincoln), anybody that sits behind somebody else obviously has problems...........:)

We're not going to fight amongst ourselves, are we?

We had no problems at Burscough, Farsley, Bradford Park Avenue, Worksop, Radcliffe, etc.

Sorry it's not Darlington's fault, but when you've come from non-league you're less inclined to put up with the bull****.
We've had a ball over the last few years, and a big part of that is talking with opposition fans. Something that's now denied!

Thanks for your posts Quakerz, I was looking forward to tomorrow but can't make it due to work.
