WHAT a day! What an absolutely wonderful day I had at Wembley where Darlington won the FA Trophy.

To be there in our national football stadium and seeing my team – Darlington – turn out on the same pitch that, in a few weeks time, will host probably the best two teams in the world, beggars description.

The memory of the day will live in my mind forever.

And to cap it all, there in the warm spring sunshine, under that fantastic Darlington-built arch, my team – won the Carlsberg Trophy.

Well done to all the players, coaching staff and management at Darlington FC.

And well done to all the fans who made the journey – you were magnificent.

And to those fans who thought about going – you missed out on a truly memorable day.

M Middleton, Darlington.
