“Before I knew it, we had over 600,000 page views per month, at a time when the internet was just taking off…”.
In this two-part feature, Scott Thornberry exclusively tells YOURCLUB Content the story of the legendary Darlo Uncovered website and his own, sometimes crazy, journey supporting Darlo.
“This is a club which means the world to so many of us, and one that has given us much to celebrate during an incredibly difficult year…”.

Polish football journalist Maciej Słomiński recently met up with former Darlo favourite Pawel Abbott for Polish website Interia to talk about his life and career, both here in the UK and in Poland.

It is 20 years since a certain former chairman decided it might be a good idea to replace Darlington's best ever player with an untried striker called Kaak to spearhead a second successive promotion challenge from the old Third Division.

"It is that good, this shirt would not look out of place on a catwalk at Milan Fashion Week!".
