Programmes through the years: 1950-51 season part 1
By Ray Simpson
More from Karl Alexander's extensive collection
Darlington fan Karl Alexander has an extensive collection of Darlington programmes going back nearly 80 years.
Today, we look back at the 1950-51 season, when Quakers issued an unusually-sized programme -- a programme that opened up into three pages.
We started the 1950-51 season with a home game against Rochdale, and 10,530 fans inside Feethams.
Unfortunately, we lost 2-0, and on the following Monday evening, we played at Mansfield
we lost 2-1 at Field Mill, which was the same scoreline when we played Chester at Sealand Road on 25th August
So those were three successive defeats -- and on August 30th 1950 we suffered a fourth, by 2-0 at home to Mansfield, with just over 7,700 in the ground
