It might be worth the going back to Feethams but it'll need a lot of work as the ground is now overgrown with weeds but if enough supporters put some work in, anything is possible.

Not sure how possible that is as the ground is owned by the cricket club though it might be. Apart from that there's only really the RA ground which is tiny.

The cricket club aren't making any money from it now though so they may be glad of the football ground being tidied and hopefully they will only charge a peppercorn rent in appreciation.

A new ground at Feethams is quite possible, FC United are in the process of building a community stadium owned by a share scheme. The cost of building seems pretty realistic too.

Probably would involve Darlington exiting the Conference and applying to play in the Evo-Stik League whilst finding a ground to share. FC Chester and FC Halifax are back on the rise after once folding and still retain their core support.

El Classico is on!

It's the semi-final of the Copa Del Rey - Real Madrid v Barcelona.

[dan08]

Ronaldo scores!!!

1-0.

[braveneutral]

Didn't realise it was on, I am switched on now though...

[dan08]

Puyol equalises!

1-1.

[dan08]

Disgraceful!

Pepe gets touched in the chest and goes down holding his face.

As Messi is sitting on the ground after a tackle, Pepe deliberately stamps on Messi's hand!

El Farcico!

...Abidal scores! 1-2!

A good game full of some fabulous acting, but I'm afraid the Golden Globes are over boys.

Real Madrid have shown once again exactly what not to do when you are playing Barca. They take the lead and suddenly cower back into their own half.Some of the balls they kicked down field in the first half were just ridiculous.

The talent out there is fairly equal IMHO, but the real difference lies on the sidelines in one Gueedo Pepe or what ever his first name is. I don't know what he does with these boys in training,but they are like freaking robots.

[The Waugh Twins]

I can't believe fans are leaving with 7-8 minutes left.

[The Waugh Twins]

Wow even Messi faking an injury, never thought I'd see him do that. Now I know why this is the only time I watch Spanish football. This is at its best and it's still a struggle to watch with all the faking.

[dan08]

Barcelona come from behind to beat Real Madrid 2-1!

[The Waugh Twins]

Wow they didn't even shake each others hands after the game, poor sportsmanship from the supposed elite of the game. If that's what it takes to be the best then good luck to you.

[The Waugh Twins]

The Real goalkeeper shook hands with Pujoles, but that's about all I saw.
