League Cup Draw

[Alan Titchmarsh]

£5 - £8 a ticket might get a gate of £15k gate . Come on RFC do something for the fans.

I thought they normally make Carling Cup matches £5?

And Darlington will get 50% of the gate receipts so I imagine it'll be something like £10-12 in advance/

[Legend]

I am not sure i'll bother with this game, i'll buy a ticket though.

I would have preffered it to have been away, then i would have gone.

[Reading Abbey]

Home to Darlington.


GLAMOUR!!!

Should be a nice easy route to Round 3.

I hope the club reduce the ticket prices dramatically for this one or they will witness a 6000 attendance. Most of which will be Darlo fans enjoying their big day out and quite rightly so.

Does anyone actually care???

With a wafer thin squad like ours, I just wish we could pull out of the cups altogether.

Yes I do care and I disagree - this match will be very useful to get the likes of De La Cruz and Bikey not to mention Cox, Long, Osano etc. some competitive match practice.

I can't see us playing more than 4 regular first team players.

Darlington will bring under 300, imho

But this was before we were a PL team.

[glass half full]

The 'best team in the Championship' reduced prices to £10 and attracted 20,000.

Could we do something similar?

Bloody hell, we've not played them in over a thousand years!

[Silver Fox]

Even before the days of ELm Park when the Royals played at their former ground of Feethams

[Mr Angry]

The last time we played them it was away at Feethams in the season we won promotion to the old Div 2 (it was the season of the 13 in a row); in fact, we secured promotion that day at Feethams in one of the dullest most boring 0-0 draws ever.

They were getting relegated to Div 4, and the programme notes said something like "with the 2 teams going their seperate ways, one wonders when we will play each other again".

The only time I have ever hitch hiked to a game.

[Huntley & Palmer]

Does that lanky bald headed Conlon still play for them? I always hated him after runing our day away at Colchester, when we had to beat them to stand a chance of an automatic spot instead of finishing 3rd. 00/01 season. That tiny away end with the shed for refreshments was packed to the rafters and there was a huge hole in the pitch right in front of where I was standing.

No it wasnt! The last game we played against Darlington was a 4-2 win at Feethams on 10th March 1992 (Maskell got a hat-trick). They were relegated to the basement at the end of that season (10 points adrift at the very bottom) and we finished mid table (12th).
