FOOTBALL fans raised a glass to a development at resurgent Darlington Football Club at the weekend.

A bar opened in the north-west corner of the Williamson Motors Stadium, ahead of Saturday's game against Bristol Rovers.

The bar complements the existing Tin Shed bar in providing supporters with another place to have a pre-match drink.

It is the latest in a series of initiatives from the club's new owner, the Sterling Consortium.

A subsidised bus scheme for supporters was also launched at the weekend.
