The investments in the club's Community Share Scheme have now passed £100,000, a fantastic effort.

If you're unfamiliar with the idea, it's backed by Supporters Direct, and gives you a chance to support the development of Darlington FC for as little as £100, in particular the move to Blackwell Meadows, and get your money back in a few years' time with a dividend on top.

So you could earn more from investing in Darlington FC than a savings account -- and have a lot of fun doing it. Check the recent stories on this website to discover more about the club's activities.
