If you are not familiar with who we are, we are an 11-a-side team representing Darlington FC in the IFA League (Internet Football Association League), in which supporters teams from all over the country play.
Our fixtures are played against the opposition fans of the team that Darlington play on the afternoon where the team has a fans team, this involves travelling down early to away fixtures but makes a great day out.
We also play an International World Cup style tournament every year in Leeds called WorldNET in which all players from supporters' teams from england and abroad play and stay over at Leeds University for the weekend.
We celebrate our 10th year as a team in January, so we have solid roots and are just looking for a few new players of a decent standard to carry this on.
In the past we've played at Feethams, The Arena twice, played against a team including Ray Houghton, played at York City's training ground against a team including their then manager Ray Houghton, so there are plenty of perks playing for us too.
What we're looking for in a player:
- You need to be a Darlington fan
- You need to be willing to travel with the team to away games (this isn't every game as not all teams have a fans team) - If you can drive we share the driving / cars and all chip in for petrol so driving to away games would be a bonus but isn't essential.
- You need to be available for training on most Saturday mornings when we don't have a game
- You need to be at least 18 years old. Our current squad ranges from 18-40 years old, so you don't necessarily need to be young.
- You need to state your availability on this forum for any events posted, whether you can make it or not
If this sound like you and you're interested in playing for Darlington Uncovered FC, then post your interest in a reply to this thread letting us know your age and position and we'll let you know more from there.
