Both Darlington football  and Rugby clubs are continuing to work closely together on closing out the final details of the redevelopment of Blackwell Meadows. Due to the number of influencing  parties involved with the funding for both clubs, the final legal structuring has taken longer than envisaged to satisfy all parties . Design and procurement however has continued to be progressed and subject to no further last minute  unforeseen issues arising we would expect works to commence within the next 2 weeks.  The collection of the community share offer  therefore will be delayed by 2 weeks in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

The club are also involved in finalising two high profile friendlies for the coming season and will shortly be announcing an additional major sponsor for next season. Announcements will follow.
