Attention Darlo Fans: Important fundraising news – we’re upping our community shares target by £2,000. Fill this amount with pledges and we will hit the £50,000 target to Raise the Roof and kick off the process to order materials and engage contractors.

Go to fundraising.darlingtonfcsupportersgroup.org to pledge today.

You might remember back in the April fans forum, we kicked off this fundraising with what seemed like an impossible set of targets:

• £40,000 to improve the playing surface
• £40,000 for foundations and ground works
• £38,000 for the new seating block
• £50,000 to Raise the Roof.
• £40,000 to Boost the Budget

Incredibly we’re are now just £2,000 away from hitting all those targets.

Raising the Roof and installing the new seating block will ensure that Blackwell Meadows is fully compliant with ground grading rules and it will give us an extra 294 fully covered seats to enhance the ground and improving the spectating experience.

Many thanks for the amazing financial backing over the last few months, let's finish this last target off and complete another building block in our future development.
