📜 Relive the match

On Saturday 1st November 1997, Hull City travelled to face Darlington at Feethams in the Nationwide Football League Division Three (1997-98 season). This is the original matchday programme produced for that fixture — printed once, on the day, then taken home and kept by a supporter who was there.

Programme from demolished Feethams ground (closed 2003) — adds collector interest.

Whether you were at the ground that day, were born in 1997, grew up listening to your dad or grandad talk about this team, or simply want to hold a tangible piece of the club's story — this programme has waited 29 years for the right home.

🎁 The unique gift for a Darlington fan

This programme tells two clubs' stories — and one of them is Darlington's.

Got a dad, grandad, brother, husband, uncle or mate who lives and breathes Darlington? This is a real piece of Darlington's history — the day Darlington hosted Hull City — and a far more thoughtful, original present than another pair of socks or bottle of aftershave.

Whether it's a milestone birthday — a 40th, 50th, 60th or 70th — a retirement, Father's Day, an anniversary or Christmas, an original programme dated Saturday 1st November 1997 is about as personal as a gift gets. Were they at the game, or is this from a year that means something to them? Either way, it's a Darlington keepsake they'll actually treasure — not another gift card destined for a drawer.

🎂
Milestone birthday

An original from the day itself — hard to beat for a 40th, 50th, 60th or 70th.

🎁
Impossible to buy for

Perfect for the Darlington fan who already has everything.

Were they there?

If they saw this game at Feethams, it's a memory back in their hands.
