Darlington travel to Salford for our opening Vanarama National League North game on Saturday.

The Club knows, from ticket sales, that there are a large number of supporters travelling to the game. We are sure this fantastic show of support will help spur the team on to a great performance, but most importantly fans should make sure that they arrive early for the game, especially as all the motorways will be extremely busy, and there isn't much car parking near the ground.

Please note that the game is all ticket, there are no cash turnstiles available. If you don't have a ticket, then you won't be able to gain admission.

DFC is proud of its community and family based support and cannot, and will not, tolerate inappropriate behaviour or crowd disturbance of any kind. The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the conduct of the Club's supporters at all our football matches and, with your help, we will do everything possible to eradicate the very small minority, of either individuals or small groups, who purport to represent the Club in a manner that may result in the imposition of severe sanctions on the Club.

The Club will continue to work with the police and other authorities to investigate any reported incident of crowd disturbance and identify perpetrators and take the most severe sanction available to it. We will not tolerate any unruly behaviour, and will assist the police in any prosecutions.

If you can help the club by helping identify those carrying out unruly behaviour, then please e mail the club at john.tempest@darlingtonfc.org.  We will be happy to receive videos, images etc in confidence.

So let's all get behind the team in the proper way and make this a great day out for all the right reasons.
