In partnership with our Foundation, the club will be offering free season tickets to primary schools again this season.

Working with the Darlington FC Foundation, the Club will provide every primary school with a season ticket for one adult and one child to attend every Vanarama National League North game at Blackwell Meadows in the 2023/2024 Season.

Each school can choose a child who has perhaps behaved well in that week or done something outstanding in one of their lessons to receive the ticket for the match that weekend.

Barry Thompson, Darlington FC Foundation Manager said “Last season we saw a significant increase in children at our matches and that was due, in part, to children coming along with the free season ticket and coming back to another game. In 1989, it was through a scheme very similar to this that I began supporting the club. We had over thirty schools signed up last season and we are hoping for a similar number this season too."

Schools who would like to access a free season ticket can email barrythompson@darlingtonfcfoundation.org.uk
