TOAST OF THE TOWN: Store manager Ashley Wray backs Darlington FC
AN off-licence is getting behind a
North-East football team as it
attempts to climb up the football
league.
Booze Buster, in Stockton
Road, Darlington, has decorated
its windows to support Darlington
FC's campaign in the League 2
play-offs.
Manager Ashley Wray, who is a
keen Quakers fan, has put a teddy
bear wearing a Darlington strip
and flags up in the window of her
shop.
Ms Wray said: "We're in the
play offs and you've got to cheer
on your home town team.
"I go the matches quite often,
but I can't on Saturday as I'm
working - but I'll be going to
Wembley.
"A lot of my customers have
remarked on the display and
asked where I've got the scarves
from. Children are always asking
about it. My boss liked it so much,
he's put in a window display at
the other Booze Buster, in Geneva
Road."

■ Nearly all of Darlington's
allocation of 2,000 tickets for the
play-off semi-final second leg
away to Rochdale have been sold
and last night only about 100
remained. They are priced at £18
for adults and £10 concessions
and are available from the Arena
ticket office.

is this a non league club you are talking about? are all the butchers and bakers and candlestick makers in the quaint market town decorating their windows up for the big day out. and well done to darloids for not even selling out 2000 tickets for a game which is a 90 minute drive down the road. pathetic. totally pathetic.
