Taken from the OS

Details of our pre-season fixtures will be released, after all the other clubs have had first dibs, probably around mid July, and will definitely include games against at least 3 Northern League clubs, possibly even one from Northern League 1.

As well as that we are hoping to have the usual marquee home game v either Sunderland or Boro U23s and possibly attract York City reserves to the Vic (subject to them winning the play offs )

Keep an eye on the OS during September for details

Hmmm, change 'the Vic' for Blackhall Meadows or whatever the Skerne flood plain is called these days and you may actually be very near an amazing scoop there!

Blackhall Meadows - is that a new housing development on the Rocks?

The Skerne Flood plain- wasn't that the scene of the infamous Worm Holocaust (circa 2001)

Yes, not too far from the Freudian slip

The mighty River Skerne starts near Trimdon and runs southwest to Darlington and the River Tees. Blame the dodgy drainage at Blackhall on something else.

That was Feethams-on-Skerne I believe, a bad day to be a worm as thousands of innocents were sacrificed, drowned in a cesspit of mud and effluent in a failed attempt to make the grass grow. Ugly scenes, not a PG.

It’s unreal….it’s like telling a man in January with two months to live if he’ll want a ticket for the Xmas do.
