Quakers are looking for a hat trick of wins over Alfreton this season when they go to the Impact Arena on Saturday.

Quakers have already beaten the Reds in the league and the Trophy this season, but they know that this will be a tough game against a team that is just below the play off places.

 Here are Alun's thoughts on the game:

Please note that the game will be segregated, Darlington fans must enter via the Alma Street entrance.

The club is also against any forms of discrimination, home and away
