Kidderminster Harriers completed the full set of Darlington home venues in season 2017-18, providing the opposition in all four of Quakers’ home venues.

They were the opposition for the opening game of the Vauxhall Conference campaign in 1989-90, John Borthwick and Mark Hine (2) scoring in a 3-0 win for Brian Little’s side, while Kidderminster are also remembered for being the first visiting side at the Arena (pictured).

The 25,000-capacity stadium, now occupied by Mowden Park Rugby Club, opened for the 2003-04 season, Danny Williams scoring the first goal and setting up a 2-0 victory in front of 11,600 supporters.

And Harriers also won their solitary game at Heritage Park in September 2017, Arthur Gnahoua scoring the only goal of the game.

However, a late goal by Stephen Thompson gave Quakers a 2-1 at Blackwell Meadows.

They become the second club to have played at each of Darlington’s grounds following Stockport County.
