£114,400.

I'm still waiting for the right time to put mine in.

There will be others wanting to be part of the last day rush.

120k is odds on now, good chance of 125k and an outside chance of 130k I reckon.`

Hope you are right in the £130k but I will be more than happy with the £120k.
And, like you, I will be one of the last day brigade.

Every pound raised by the fans /owners helps fill a gap where commercial revenues will drop due to this horrendous situation which alot of companies find their revenues dropped and can't financially support as they had previously. As has been corrected tomorrow is the last day so 2 days to make your pledge if you're able .
The more you raise the stronger the club will be .
It's our club it's our choice where we want the club to be
pushing for the top or struggling below midd table.
Let's make a difference lads and lasses you can do it .
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS WITH DFC.

DJ said at the first interview with Ray when the figure was £87k, that he would be overwhelmed if it reached £120k and said so again at the latest chat but only dreamt it could reach £130k.Even at £120k he stated what a difference it would make to our finances so anything above this would be brilliant for our club.
Best fans in non league football without a shadow of doubt.

Quakerman 2 , I second that Great fans who want their football club to succeed. What more can you say about Darlington FC and there supporters.

116k now passed with a full day to go. Hold your breath.

1.5k contributed in the last hour 116,845 in the pot. 130k very achievable.

Have corrected that for you

Big day today , how far can we get? 120k will be fantastic

I think £125k will be achieved & we could get towards £130k, which would be absolutely brilliant. I'm sure there are many clubs who are envious of what we have achieved & the super fans we have.

Suspect most of us have made our main pledge by now and what we will see is lots of small amounts going in as people make an extra contribution on a one off basis.

Precisely I think this evening could be quite exciting, with lots of smaller donations.

I remember an interview DJ did with Ray in May 2018 where he said that if we were to move forward as a club eventually BTB would need to be done by 40-50% of our average home crowds. He based that on crowds of 1,479. So to be up to where he wants to be in terms of numbers of pledges, 40% is 592 and 50% would be 740. Here's the interview. The relevant bit is from 4.20 onwards.

Only 7 off the 40% as it stands

Obviously some people will have donated more than once, equally some will have made donations for more than just one person.

Also there is the Darlo fans who cannot get to home games but like to feel part of the club. Well done to everyone concerned, a great demonstration of what it means to be a fans owned club!

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS

From 604 investors.

Brilliant... Well done to all involved, whether is was a kids pocket money or few hundred adding to the total.

It has all added up to a fantastic effort by the wonderful supporters of this club that we never let die.

Reckon it will hit £125k tonight Chris,DJ and AA will be ecstatic with what our great fans have contributed particularly when furlough and job security issues have to be taken into account.

Other clubs will look at this figure and think an extra 0 has been inserted, unbelievable effort and loyalty to our club.

Poolies will think it's an extra 2 x 0's inserted.

£122,060 from 614 investors. Unbelievable.

Well we're now approaching £123k, what do people think the final figure can be this evening? I'd like to think we can get near to £130k, as plenty off fans will make a final contribution, in the run up to the midnight deadline.

Just under 125k fair bit just gone in aiming for 130k now.

125,000 plus. Get in..
Trying to add to it on the insistence of
Mrs Footifanreturns.... No option sadly

Update. We can do it via PayPal..
Our wedding anniversary present to Darlo.

Just under £127k, can see £130k being smashed.DJ mentioned this figure but laughed at the thought of it and pretty much dismissed it.

This is massive for the club.
