Darlington Football Club has unveiled a dynamic rebrand of its fan lottery program, renaming it from ‘Darlo Fans Lottery’ to the new and improved ‘Darlington FC Lottery.’ This initiative not only enables fans to financially support the club but also offers them an opportunity to win cash prizes while contributing to the development of young talent, stadium maintenance, fan experiences, and community outreach projects.
A New Era for Darlington Football Club
Darlington FC, a club that thrives on the passionate support of its fans, is excited to announce the revitalization of its lottery program as the Darlington FC Lottery. The aim of this transformation is to foster stronger connections with supporters and the wider community, ultimately generating crucial funds that will directly enhance the club’s activities.
Words from Jon Saddington, Darlington Football Club Supporters Group Chair
Jon Saddington, Chair of the Darlington Football Club Supporters Group, emphasizes the central role of fans in the club’s success: “Our fans are the lifeblood of our Club, and we are thrilled to announce the rebranding of our popular lottery program as Darlington FC Lottery. This initiative allows us to not only further engage with our supporters but also build a stronger bond with the wider community, all of which will help us generate vital funds that will directly benefit the Club and its activities. We encourage everyone to participate and join us on this exciting journey.”
How the Darlington FC Lottery Works
The Darlington FC Lottery offers fans a chance to participate for a monthly fee of £5 ($6.09) per number. Each month, participants have an opportunity to win a jackpot prize of £1,000. The funds collected through the lottery are vital to the club’s ongoing growth and success.
A Fan-Powered Club
Darlington FC, as a fan-owned club, relies on the contributions of its dedicated supporters to advance the club’s mission. The remarkable new seated stand at Blackwell Meadows, inaugurated in March 2018, was made possible through the collective effort of fans who raised £150,000 for its construction.
The club offers a range of fundraising opportunities for fans, including the Darlington FC Lottery, Sponsor a Goal, the Super 50/50, and the Boost The Budget scheme. Over the past decade, Darlington FC supporters have collectively raised nearly £2 million, demonstrating the incredible power of passionate fans in shaping the future of their beloved club.
The rebranding of the Darlington FC Lottery signifies a new chapter in the club’s commitment to its supporters and community. It not only empowers fans to support the club financially but also offers them an exciting chance to win prizes. This fan-driven initiative is a testament to the enduring spirit of Darlington FC and its dedicated supporters.
