Our first home matchday of the new season was a fantastic afternoon in the Hospitality Suite sponsored by Blackwell Grange Hotel. Guests enjoyed superb food, friendly service, and the warm welcome that has become a hallmark of a Darlington FC matchday.

Feedback from our post-match hospitality survey was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the quality of the food and the attention shown by our staff. One guest described it as a “fantastic experience from start to finish”, while another said it was a “very enjoyable start to the new campaign”.

The team were also singled out by name – with Nigel and Andrew earning mentions for making guests feel welcome and entertained. A big thank you to everyone who joined us – and to midfielder Matty Cornish for being our first Q&A guest of the season.
