THE Quakers Supporter savings account, provided by Darlington Building Society, has again paid a huge dividend into the club's coffers.

Launched four seasons ago, the account has now contributed £56,885.79 to the club, with £23,032.80 being raised in the last year.

Under the terms of the account, Darlington Building Society makes a cash payment to the club equivalent to one per cent of the average total balance held in all Quakers' Supporter Accounts throughout the year.

There are more than 4,000 such accounts in operation.

David Copland, marketing and communications manager for the society, was on hand at a recent game to hand over the cheque to Darlington's chairman and owner, George Reynolds.

Accepting the cheque, Mr Reynolds, said: "Once again Darlington Football Club expresses its gratitude to its number one supporter, Darlington Building Society."
