Yeah I thought of York, but thought I must have been forgetting something. I'm really looking forwards to Saturday now - wouldn't have been saying that if last night had gone differently :mrgreen:

Sunderland in a friendly at HP or York at the Arena, last couple I can remember.
Newcastle at the Arena in that infamous friendly?

Didn't Carlisle bring a big following to Arena once?

If we're going biggest ever away following (in modern era) - surely Hartlepool at the Arena would be it? In a competitive game of course.

I thought Carlisle brought more in their promotion season?

3000 according to this http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/fo ... -5-1528035. Thought Hartlepool brought a few more than that?

I'm getting a bit depressed thinking about these big Football League games we used to be part of :( (even if we did get smashed in pretty much all of them :lol: )

Why is it all ticket? It puts people off coming. Blatant own goal.

Is that the best excuse you can come up with, haha?
Unfortunately it is the best excuse I got...

Certain part of my life would be over if I prioritise football and I really like that part of my life...

Will just have to follow the game on Twitter in Church and Darlo Fans Radio at the Reception

Don't think you could beat Sheffield United at Feethams when they won Division 4. Must have been 11,000 there and 10,000 from Sheffield.

Does the FA set a figure for the home club to allocate to away fans and does the FA decide on segregation

Have not read the rules and regs for a while, I always thought it was something like 15% of the ground capacity at least, is it then up to the clubs to decide on the actual allocation.

I temember Sunderland giving a massive allocation to Hartlepool close to 25% in 2004 and around 20% to Barrow a few year later

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.

Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

We have got a squad of 6 coming down for the game however we will be in the Shields end :shh: we weren't aware there was going to be tickets on sale online. But I'm sure it'll be a cracker of a match! How many Darlo fans will likely be there?

Be lucky to hit 1200 home fans. Not enough interest at this early stage of the FA Cup.

Apologies! We are definitely planning a few other trips to Darlo this season, potentially the game on the 7th October (non league day) against Stockport i think
