In the latest of our series "Where in the World", Keith Goodman from Hong Kong swopped e mails with Ray Simpson.

How do you follow Darlo from over there in Hong Kong?

Mainly via Twitter updates during the games and then I subsequently usually watch the highlights that get posted on the Darlo Facebook page.

I suspect you've watched Darlo play a few times, what was your first game?

My mum's side of the family originate from Darlo but I've never actually lived there, or anywhere further north than Cambridge in fact. So my first game would have been some time in the 1980s during a family visit, almost certainly suffering frozen extremities in the depths of winter and switching at half time between the Tin Shed and the open south terrace. I remember taking a girlfriend of the time (who had no interest in football of any kind) to a sub-zero goalless draw at Feethams one Christmas/New Year. Our relationship didn't last much longer ! My interest in the club really ignited when my parents retired and moved to Darlington in 1989, which meant more regular visits to the town and home games with my late Dad, who had immediately become a Darlo season ticket holder. 1989/90 was of course the one-off season in the Conference. I was living and working in London at the time and so, with many of the Conference sides in or around the capital, I became a regular Darlo away supporter, including that memorable afternoon at Welling United ! : )

Who was your first Darlo hero?

Having joined the Darlo party as a so-called mature adult, I've never done the "hero worship" thing, but of that Conference-winning side, Kevan 'Smudger' Smith particularly stands out in my memory.

What's the best away ground you've been to?

Anywhere where we've got the three points ! Apart from Welling, what are your other memorable games? My worst away experience with Darlo was definitely at Fisher Athletic, where there was a welcoming party of Millwall "fans" from a bygone age in full-length leather coats with beards and beer-bellies.

Out there in HK, when you become involved in football conversations, what are the reactions of other people when you say that you're a Darlo fan?

Initially a mixture of amusement and bemusement ! But they soon get interested when they hear the passion in my voice when I talk about how so many people are working together to put the club back at the heart of the community where it belongs and had historically been for over a century.

How did you feel four years ago when we thought that the club might have played its last game at Barrow? And then a week or so later when it was dramatically saved? How did you follow events?

At that time, the newsflow to this part of the world meant that I got to hear about the club's "crucifixion" and "resurrection" simultaneously. For me, it was the first time I realized how much the people of the town care about the club and to what lengths they were prepared to go to keep it alive, which was very inspiring. Any delay or lack of conviction in the response at that time could well have been the end of the story.
