HUNDREDS of Darlington football fans have been wallowing in nostalgia in the first week of the Farewell to Feethams exhibition, being staged at the town's Arts Centre.
Nearly 4,000 people visited the collection of recent and archive photographs in the opening days, exceeding the expectations of organisers Darlington Supporters' Trust.
"It seems to have created a real buzz," said Steve Duffy, one of the organising committee.
"We were confident people would be interested in the show, but the sheer numbers have surprised and delighted all those involved.
"More importantly, we are getting a good reaction from people who have seen the show,. It is provoking a lot of memories."
The trust expects the school holidays and the start of the football season to boost interest further.
A short season of football-related films and a books night are being planned for next month, to coincide with the exhibition, before it ends on August 24.
