Banbury game designated as HerGameToo day
By Ray Simpson
Part of International Women's Day
Darlington FC are pleased to announce as part of our commitment to HerGameToo and in celebration of International Women’s Day, we will be dedicating our National League North game on 2nd March against Banbury United to the HerGameToo campaign.
Her Game Too are a group of female volunteers who are passionate about football. They are working to eradicate sexism in the football industry and want women and girls of all ages to feel confident and safe watching their teams, working including volunteering in the football industry and sharing their opinions about football online and in real life without the fear of sexist abuse.
You can read more about the organisation here:
Your DFC HerGameToo team consists of:
Joanne Cameron – HGT Ambassador
Cheryl Pattison – HGT Advocate
Nicole Graham – HGT Advocate
Wil Hatfield – Player Advocate
We have invited our girls and women’s teams to the game as part of the occasion. Our DFC players will be wearing HerGameToo warm up t-shirts. We will have some of our female youth team members joining the guard of honour and bearing HGT flags.
We will also have a selfie board at the game and will be encouraging photos so we can build an album of Darlington Supporters of HerGameToo. A special thanks to John Tempest of Tempest Jones for his continued support and sponsorship of the warm up t-shirts and selfie board.
The playlist on the day will be an all-female playlist as chosen by DFC’s HerGameToo team and our fans. We will also be shortly running a competition for two female Darlo fans to read the teams out at the game.
Thank you for your support
The DFC HerGameToo Team.
