Hi guys,

Darlington fan here, making my first visit to the Ricoh on Saturday and I was just wondering where's the best place to sit etc?

Thanks!

Nick · Aug 4, 2015

It really depends what you are looking for, if you want Atmosphere try to get close to block 16 and 15 by the scoreboard.

If you want a good view Id say halfway line which I think is block 21 / 20?

Hi, why you coming to the game from all that way?

I agree with nick. Atmosphere by the scoreboard block 15 and half at line is block 20 for a good view.

Me and a friend are attempting to complete the 92 grounds in a season.

Really looking forward to it, gunna be challenging.

Ah that explains it.....was wondering why a Darlington fan would be coming to a game with Wigan.

You won't be struggling for a seat - The Ricoh shall be your oyster, as it is our albatross.

Are you being sponsored to do it?

AndyPsrk · Aug 4, 2015

Nope, just a bit of fun between mates.

Block 16, Row AA or higher; you'll get view and atmosphere that way!

oscillatewildly · Aug 4, 2015

You'd better be prepared for the 'Ricoh roar' - It'll have you quaking. (Sorry, couldn't resist it.)

vow · Aug 4, 2015

All the best with the 92 grounds.

Not sat down and worked out costs yet, but I imagine it'll run up a good few grand!

Be be all worth it though, I'll be having my Darlo shirt on so don't be afraid to say hello!

Where are Darlington playing now?

CCFCKirky · Aug 4, 2015

Well done that man, sounds like quiet a challenge.

After being given a 4 league demotion from the FA. We started in the Northern League, we've had two promotions in three seasons and are now in the Evo-Stik Premier. Three leagues below the football league.

Moving back to the town some time this season after spending three seasons in exile playing at Bishop Auckland.

Haven't Darlington Mowden Park Rugby (same division as Cov) purchased your old ground? 25,000 stadium yet average under 400, what was the thinking behind that?

CovisGod · Aug 5, 2015

Good luck with the 92 grounds challenge bud, just bee trying to figure out the logistics of it ! Best of luck

lifeskyblue · Aug 5, 2015

Good luck Andy. Will look out for the Darlington shirts. Let us know later in the season how it's going. And we thought we have had it tough recently but a 4 league demotion is excessive and demoralising

I'm from Darlington as well Andy but I am a Skyblues fan. I'm travelling down on Saturday morning to the match but staying overnight. When I can't get to see Cov. I watch Darlo. Moving back to the town is on hold at the moment because of the council. Does that ring a bell Cov fans.

It gets pretty rammed Andy, no guarantee that you and your mate will be able to find seats next to each other.

Joking aside, have a good day mate - and enjoy your 92 experience. I think you should do it in fancy dress, personally. A pantomime horse would probably be most appropriate for the Ricoh.

skybluesam66 · Aug 5, 2015

or look like a female's genetalia - and then you may even get a seat in the Director;s box

AndyPsrk · Aug 5, 2015

Cheers guys! Best of the luck for the season aswell!

Houchens Head · Aug 5, 2015

Good luck with your quest mate! Enjoy the game on Saturday!

Kingokings204 · Aug 5, 2015

Good luck and wish us all some goals. It's got 0-0 written all over it for me.

Glen · Aug 5, 2015

Fair play to you must have a few mid week games to go to, to make all 92 then

steveecov · Aug 5, 2015

Good job you are starting with us. We have a bloke here called Timmy who wants a new stadium. Might have to make that 93.

He's not as bad as Raj Singh; the bloke who refused to sign a CVA which caused our demotion.

George Reynolds, George Houghton & Raj Singh. Nothing but utter c****.
