Footymad preview History of the Darlington v Luton Town fixture

Luton Town face a trip to Darlington at Balfour Webnet Darlington Aren on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Hatters will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them with only a 14.29% success rate in the fixture.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Balfour Webnet Darlington Aren was just last season, in September 2010, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a (Conference) Premier match.
