Darlington FC would like to thank each and every Darlo fan for your fantastic support at Blyth Spartans on Tuesday night. The team was backed magnificently throughout the game by 625 fans on the night, making up over half of the attendance and whilst fan behaviour has been a focus recently, the conduct of our supporters was impeccable.

Assistant manager Terry Mitchell said: “I've got to say the noise from start to finish was great. I've said it in every interview ever since Steve and myself have come in - they've been brilliant. We still want them to continue that, there's going to be some ups and downs and they're going to play a big part when we really need them to back us.

“The lads absolutely love the support they're giving them. So big thanks from Steve, myself and all the players to all the fans.”

Matty Cornish, who scored a superb first goal, said: “The fans were amazing. They usually never stop anyway but that was obviously a huge support and they never stopped singing. They've been really fantastic in the last few games and we're really going to need them to keep coming and we hope we can give them what we all want and stay in the league.”

With seven games remaining of this nail-biting climax to the season, please keep backing us in numbers as we look to keep up our winning momentum, starting with our home game on Saturday against Peterborough Sports.
