DARLINGTON’S chief executive David Johnston takes to the stage with his punk band this weekend at a fundraising event for the club’s supporters group.

Johnston fronts Silly Things, who perform at the Darlington FC Supporters Group (DFCSG) fundraising evening on Saturday.

The event is a repeat of the sell-out night held last season, and is again being staged at the Cleveland Club, Neasham Road, Darlington. Doors open at 7.30pm for an 8pm start.

Tickets are £5 and available from Quaker Retail in the Dolphin Centre and at Saturday’s match at Blackwell Meadows against Hereford.

Darlington’s FA Trophy tie with AFC Telford United will be played on Friday, November 23 (7.45pm) and prices have been reduced.

They are priced £10 adults, £8 for seniors, students and other concessions, £5 for under 16s and free for under 11s.
