A FOOTBALL club is hoping its fans won't make it walk alone by signing up for a marathon trek this summer.
For the second year, Bishop Auckland Football Club is organising a walk taking in a number of local football grounds to raise money for its proposed stadium.
The 24-mile walk, which takes place on Sunday, July 8, starts from Durham City's new Ferens Park, at 8.30am, and finishes at Bishop Auckland Market Place, at 8pm.
Walkers can join part or all of the walk, and can choose to raise money for any charity as well as, or instead of, the club's stadium.
Walkers will visit Brandon United's Welfare Ground, Esh Winning FC's Waterhouses, Stanley Crook's Hilltop Ground, Crook Town's Millfield and Willington FC's Hall Lane.
Transport is being arranged to take people walking the whole route from Bishop Auckland to Durham for 8am.
The club is also looking for volunteers for support roles.
