Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Darlo

Darlington FC’s recent roller coaster history can be summed up as: move to new stadium; reach League 2 play-offs; suffer administration; relegated to the Conference; win FA Trophy at Wembley; go bust & lose stadium; resurrected as Darlington 1883 in the Northern League; relocate to Bishop Auckland sharing Heritage Park with their landlords; win the Northern League at the first attempt; promoted to the Northern Premier League; and now an announcement of the plan to return to their home town next season to share Blackwell Meadows with the rugby club, but given their disappointment littered history they will need a fair wind and I lent my support today with my first trip to see them at Heritage Park where they scraped a 1-0 win in a scrappy wind-affected game.
