I see that Darlo have sold their soul to the devil. I'm very disappointed. I hope the club were paid handsomely for this.

You do know that Branson is the devil incarnate?

God bless.

My source who confirmed weeks ago it was Virgin trains also indicated that there would be cheaper tickets for season ticket holder! Apparently there ended up being a bit of a bidding war from Darlington building society, EE for a short while and then Virgin. Shows that the move back to Darlington, as we all know, was imperative. Well done to the volunteers yet again. Fantastic work!

Carlisle and Preston fans get a 25% discount with a season ticket off advance fares I think.

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.

Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

The first one i remember was the scaffolding company, was it ISL? Not sure if that was the first one though.

Great news about Virgin joining the revolution.

We had at least three shirt sponsors before ISL

1987/88 United
1984-87 McEwans
1982 84 ????
1981/82 Ken Warne Supermarkets

I'm not sure how accurate the Historical Kits site is as I've never been able to confirm the Donn shirt sponsor, maybe someone with programmes from around the time can confirm this? by referring to old programmes is how I know the Ken Warne sponsor is correct.
Interesting that they have our 1976 kit made by Litesome, I've never heard of that company before.

Brilliant news.
Virgin trains obviously want to be associated with a team going places.
