History of the Darlington v Accrington Stanley fixture

Accrington S. face a trip to Darlington at Balfour Webnet Darlington Aren on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 23 out of 33 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2008, the The Quakers carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League Two match.
