The reamins of Feethams
Feethams was the home of the Darlington Football Club 1883 for 120 years
Unfortunately, it was decided to build a new stadium and final match at Feethams came on 3 May 2003. A capacity crowd saw Darlington come back from two goals down to draw 2–2 with Leyton Orient.
With the move to a new stadium at The Darlington Arena, Feethams fell into disrepair. It was finally demolished in February 2006 shortly after an arson attack. A plan by the board of the Darlington Cricket Club to sell the former football ground for a housing development was controversial because of a 1903 Deed of Foundation of the Feethams Cricket Field Trust which stated that the land in question was acquired by the Trust "for the purpose of securing the said premises as an open space to be used for Cricket and other Athletic exercises". However in 2009 the Board sold the football field to Esh Developments which on-sold the land in 2013 to Persimmon Homes. In 2014 Persimmon lodged a planning application to construct 82 homes rather than the 146 houses previously proposed.
It seems work will start very soon on constructing the houses
