My team Darlington returned to the FA Cup from the relative obscurity of the lower leagues. Forced a draw away at Walsall with a 97th minute equaliser. The last time I went to a Darlington FA Cup match was back in 1960 at a replay in Darlington against Hull City and again it was drawn. It took a further 3 games before Hull City won the tie. Think the first 4 games produced 1-1 results. My current husband was at the first match in Hull and in Darlington I was with my first husband and his dad who was a lifelong Darlington fan.
Darlington had the audacity to spoil City's farewell party at B.P. in the last match there. Boo. Brief clips of Carter & Revie in this...
Massive disappointment that Final first team game. Swear to god fer ark was cursed at times. City res v Barnsley res was THE last ever game at Boothferry Park...typically we lost that game as well.
Wasn't 1 of the replays abandoned at 1-1 before extra time was played due to the state of the pitch? Leeds ground?
