The stadium is situated on the edge of town on Neasham Road and as you drive down the by-pass leading towards the A1(M) it is clearly visible. In this section you can find out how to reach the ground by all major transport routes. [Read More]

Pre-game Drinking in Darlington - Drinking at the ground can be done in the concourse bars before the game and at half time although service, it has to be said, can be a bit on the slow side. However this is pretty much the same for a lot of venues so it is not isolated to Darlington. You can also get a drink in the corner bar and in the Carling Bar. There are also plenty of other places to get a pint in the town before or after the game.
Darlington Local Media - Darlington FC is covered by the Northern Echo (the town's daily paper) and the Middlesbrough Evening Gazette. Darlington FC is also covered by BBC Radio Tees and Alpha Radio.
