A CHEEKY prankster has left his own mark on the Darlington football stadium debate.

The mystery signwriter has put up a notice at the site of the club's proposed new ground in Neasham Road, with the message: George Reynolds 1 Marcus Nimmo 0.

He is referring to the fact that the Neasham Road Action Group, of which Mr Nimmo is a member, has lost its fight to prevent the stadium from being built. The group is still pressing for a judicial review, but both Darlington FC and Darlington Borough Council are confident that the stadium will be built.
