The Quakers have revamped their raffle to boost revenue. This funding source is crucial for the organization, leading them to rebrand it for consistency. The “Darlo Fans’ Draw” is now the “Darlington Football Club Lottery”. Supporters can win awards while investing in the club’s tomorrow. Funds generated contribute to youth player development, stadium upkeep, enhanced spectator experiences, and community engagement. The organization aims to foster a sense of belonging within the Darlington FC community. Tickets cost £5 monthly (approximately $6) with a £1000 prize awarded each month. As a fan-owned entity, every contribution to Darlington FC holds significant weight. Notably, supporters raised an impressive £150,000 to construct a new stand at their Blackwell Meadows grounds in 2018.
Fans of Darlington Football Club demonstrate their passion and backing in a multitude of ways, such as taking part in the Darlington FC Lottery, sponsoring scores, and donating to the ‘Super 50/50’ and Boost the Budget initiatives. Their commitment is genuinely extraordinary: from 2012 onward, they’ve amassed nearly £2 million for the organization!
