INTRODUCING NEW BIG GUNS
The Non-League Football Paper
|July 30, 2023
HERE'S a question for you to start the new season... which Non-League club plays at the largest football stadium in the country?
Oldham Athletic? Southend United? Chester-field? Not even close. In fact you have to delve all the way down to Step 7 to find the answer, and discover Darlington United.
The Vikings are newly formed in the North Riding Football League this season and have entered into a ground share with Mowden Park Rugby Club.
It means they will play home games at the 26,500-seat Darlington Arena, the former home of Darlington FC and the 32nd largest football stadium in England.
Built in 2003, the stadium was originally named the Reynolds Arena after Darlington's then owner George Reynolds.
That all changed a year later when Reynolds went bankrupt and was arrested on money laundering charges, leading to the stadium being named after various different sponsors.
Charges
As a result of Reynolds' demise, the club entered into administration before the club was handed over to the Sterling Consortium.
