Well done to everyone who voted and well done to everyone behind the scenes who helped make this a reality.

Woo! Hoo!

We are DARLINGTON

Thank the football association, we are Darlington FC

Fantastic news. Even if we don't reach the 'play-offs' this has still been a momentous season in our quest to re-build and bring home Darlington F.C.

The pitchfork brigade on non league zone won't be best pleased. 99% of their darlo craic ruled out at a stroke

Superb news! One club - one history

Great news. As noted above, I hope someone with the technical wherewithal (and who has the time) can fix it so we only have the one Wikipedia article as well. Getting pretty sick of that 'were a football club from Darlington' crap.

Well done everyone! Really grated on me when they called us 1883 on Saturday.

Superb news!!!

No matter what happens in the final few games of this season, it's been a wonderful season with this and the return to Darlington.

Maximum of 8 more games with those awful numbers

dsr · Post by **dsr** » Mon Apr 03, 2017 8:38 pm

Sadly, I think a maximum of 9 games - given home & away play-off semis.

I'm staying positive. Only five more games with the indignity of them. And only two where it might be mentioned. Maybe Alfreton will acknowledge the news of today. We know our modest friends from Near cottonopolis won't.

This is the best news we've had all season. But bit by bit we are rebuilding our club back to where it deserves to be. A lot of hard work ahead but this is a big stride forwards.

I said to someone earlier in the season that our failed cup exploits might yet be the best thing that happens. When we do get that first round draw, we'll be on the telly as Darlington FC. Plain and simple. That is everything for me.

5 league games left isn't there? So 8 max

That's a very good point. Clearly MG and the team agreed - fully expecting 3rd round of the FA cup next season

Abject apologies. I must learn to count!

1st July. That is when the 'new' season officially starts...

To the tune of lord of the dance?

Dar-ling-ton, not 1883
F*ck the FA and the Northern League
We're going back to the Football League
We've been Darlington since 1883

Not particularly creative with the rhymes...haha

Great work by our club director Jon Jowett to get this done.

I agree with bantopp and al_quaker

Getting rid of the digits was one of three main tasks this season along with getting back playing home games in the town and being competitive in the National North

Despite Saturday's result and off the field issues at Fylde, it's been another good season.

I'm looking forward to the DFCSG fans forum on the 21st of April to hear about the next steps for our club in improving the match day experience for fans and the ambitions for the team

The FA never fail to amaze, but this time on the positive side. Perhaps now they can get back to fighting FIFA about England wearing poppies on their shirts and reviewing the rules for inconsistencies such as the Ground suitability and number of seats in stands........

Was never bothered by the 1883, at least now people can concentrate on what I think are more important issues for the club.

well, this alone proves to me what a key achievement and superb piece of work it's been by the club to rid us of those numbers.

So what happened to the digits? Did the F.A. really stick them up their collective a**e as requested?
