FOOTBALL Live

I don't forget the home of Vic Reeves & Wendy­ Craig. legends

Mark Croft,

Search Darlingotn on the net and the first­ thing it comes up with is football, Yorkshire isn't­ even mentioned on the first page. (I'd look at the­ second, but it's 0330).

So, as the foundation town­ of the railways (without which there would be NO­ Football League as we know it today, as there would­ have been no way for teams to travel to away matches),­ the home of the Backhouse Bank (later a founding part­ of Barclays Bank), the home of the country's most­ prestigious regional newspaper (The Northen Echo, if­ you're wondering and can tear yourself away from­ the Sun) and more recently (and industrially) the home­ to Cleveland Bridge (the builders of 3 of the 6 longest­ suspension span bridges in the world) and to Orange­ Mobile Phones (formerly Rabbit Phones, if you're­ old enough to know what they are - the first mobile­ phone company). As well as this there is also Amdega,­ producers of the world's most expensive and­ best-quality conservatories and innumerable other high­ end businesses.

How, exactly, Mark, did you reach­ this ill-advised and ridiculous conclusion that­ Darlington is famous for "nothing of any­ value"?

Perhaps in future, you might consider­ your comments a little more carefully, and even (horror­ of horrors!) DO SOME SMEGGING RESEARCH?!?!

Idiot.

Mark Croft, Darlington has one of the top 10 colleges­ in the UK so stfu gorrila rapist

Its a joke because of your proximity to Wales ( like­ Shrewsbury ) and the word wales is often replaced by­ the 4 letter s word , which is appropriate considering­ relegation ( without any point deducted ). Maybe you­ aren't old enough to search in a history book­ Darlington is famous for the first ever passenger­ railway line in 1825. Chester is of course famous for a­ 3 sided town clock that doesn't have a face towards­ wales as they aren't worth the time of day. Also I­ understand that the ground does technically cross the­ welsh border. Enjoy the conference at least you'll­ have a team to watch next season unless you decide to­ support Wrexham instead who are definitely welsh.

idiot
Chester is the county town of Cheshire -­ England
was built to keep the Welsh out of­ England.

Whereas Darlington is famous for nothing of­ any value. Search Darlington on the net and the first­ thing it came up with says, well it close to­ yorkshire.........some place you come from.

good­ result at your ground..ha ha

And good riddance too. You're welsh and you know­ you are.
