Quesion Of Sport Night

Darlington are staging a special Question of Sport evening as part of the club’s ongoing fans nights.

 

Ex-Quakers star Kevan Smith will host the event on Thursday February 25, with past players taking on current stars in the Ron Greener Suite at the Northern Echo Arena. 

Craig Liddle will captain the ex-players’ team, assisted by Neil Maddison and Kevin Stonehouse, while the modern-day team will be skippered by Ian Miller.

Darlington are aiming to hold regular fans’ nights, on or around the last Thursday of every month, with a different theme each time, providing they’re well supported.

 “Our last fans night was a great success,” said general manager Phil Preston. “It went down extremely well with supporters who want to come to the Northern Echo Arena, other than just on matchdays, and feel part of the club.

 

“These evenings give fans the chance to speak with the football management and players, as well as ex-players on occasions, but they’re also entertaining and very enjoyable, so we’d certainly expect this to be a popular event as well.”

 

Tickets cost £5 each, which includes food, and can be bought in advance from the Northern Echo Arena main reception, by calling 01325 387000, or email commercial@darlington-fc.net

Sounds like it should be a fun night.
