Especially as it was just one line in a full-page article. :)

If I recall correctly, I think it was Jeremy Kite who was behind trying to get the personalised post code for Princes Park, really wanting DARTS as the postcode, but what we now have is the nearest that could be allocated under the postcode system.

Nice touch though to have a mention in the article.

"The stadium's postcode is DA1 1RT, the closest possible representation of the word "Dart". DA1 1FC was unobtainable, as the letter C is not allocated for use at the end of British postcodes."

DA1 1RT is a much better post code anyway, DA1 1FC is to much like that French team who we hopefully won’t play next season.
