Quakers are looking for their third away win of the season when they go to Spennymoor on Boxing Day.

Quakers have already won at Kettering and Brackley this season, and are looking for another in the first derby at the Brewery Field for two seasons.

Please note the game is all ticket, and Darlington have sold their allocation of 600. There will be no cash turnstiles.

Here’s some advice to fans from the Darlington FC board of Directors:
