Darlo Uncovered

Hi As some of you know, I am raising funds for the DFCSG by selling donated programmes. In one of the piles of donated programmes is a 1969 Castelford v Salford Callenge Cup Final programme from Wembley. Would anyone be interested in this programme for a donation to the Ground Development Fund? You ...

Whilst we gave had no games and obviously no programme shop at Quaker retail, I have been on a couple of programme groups on Facebook. In a couple of months I have raised over £350 in selling programmes to people around the country. I have programmes from all clubs and it's amazing that I have some ...

Yes we would be interested in them to add those we have to raise funds.



Can you please email andrew.matthews@darlingtonfc.org

Mine's on a Standing Order so no need to renew. It's just one of my Standing Orders for the 1st of each month and is effectively just included in my month end budgeting. :roll: Standing order Joe, I might be wrong but most of the ones done through the BTB portal end after so many payments. I am sur...

Common sense indeed. The news is full of how bad tomorrow will be, so why ask a team to travel so far just to turn them round when they get here

Match off. Just seen on official site

It has been a while since I posted an update on our fans generosity. This year, we have been selling old programmes in the Quaker retail unit on match days, which has all gone into the donation buckets on match days. So as it stands, we have taken £2,743. So thank you everyone who has thrown in thei...

If someone would like to start and list 2500 programmes then that would be fantastic.

I just don't have the time.

That is why I would ask people to pop into Quaker retail on match days and see what we have and if there is something more specific, then let us know and we will have a look.

email me on andrew.matthews@darlingtonfc.org

It is going reasonably well. We get a steady stream of people calling into Quaker retail and we have raised in excess of £100. I also have been selling some of the older programmes on facebook and have raised about £90 on there also. We have Darlo home and away programmes going back to the late 50's...

Bartlett is not at Whickham

He played 5 games for them at start of season and then took up his full time role as goal keeping coach at Newcsatle acadamy

Done 2 games a day on many occasions. The first was August 9th 1980. Me and my mate got the train to Sheffield and went to Hillsborough to watch Sheff Wed play Sheff Utd in the league cup first round first leg, which was an 11am kick off. When that finished, we hot footed it down to the station to c...

Just an update for you all. The York game raised another £210. This included about £48 from old programme sales. This was the best day so far for raising funds from the sale of old programmes. If you haven't popped in to Quaker retail on match days, then please call in and see the array of programme...

Another new ground to tick off

Trafford away. Brilliant

An update after the Blyth game.

We raised another £131 which takes our season total through the £1k mark and now stands at £1,057.

Thanks again everyone.

At Mondays game, I set myself up within the confines of Quaker retail with the inaugural programme table (Many thanks to Lynn and the girls from Quaker retail). We had a few interested parties who were searching through for specific programmes to add to their collection. Although the first day was a...

A further update after the Bradford PA game.

The total collected was £257. This included a very generous donation from yesterdays 50/50 winner, who wanted £100 donated to the Ground Development Fund. A massive thank you from me

Just a reminder to everyone that Monday will see the first day we have our programme stall inside Quaker retail. I will be bringing about 1000 programmes down from the 70's through each decade. There will be programmes from most league clubs, some cup finals and also international matches. Mostly th...

The insert most probably was the 'entry fee' team sheet. I have come across this programme once or twice over the years, but not with the 'teamsheet' included. Probably because they were thrown away once fans entered the ground as you could still buy the official programme. I cant remember attending...

I have had a lot of programmes donated and I will be bringing as many as I can to Monday's game. However I have 2 Darlington Programmes that may interest on or two of you. The first is from the very first Sunday League game against Mansfield Town on 15/02/1981. This programme has been autographed by...

After some inquiries, we are going to give this a go. I have had a word with Lynn in Quaker retail and we can set up a table on the left hand side of the unit on match days. We will start this on Bank Holiday Monday at the Bradford PA game. The logistics of putting out the programmes and then storin...

Just a quick update after yesterdays game.

We collected £148 making the seasons total so far £669.

Thank you again to all that dropped in their change.

Another season starts and it looks like plenty of people were savings their pennies up for us over the summer as the buckets collected a sum of £283. With what we collected at the Halifax and Middlesbrough U 23 friendlies, the total now stands at £521. Lets see what this season brings and how it com...
