YOUNGSTERS are being offered the chance to sample the matchday experience at Darlington Football Club.
The club is repeating the scheme, which is open to boys and girls aged five to 14, after it proved successful last season.
The experience includes one hour of football coaching in the Quaker Centre, and a McDonald's meal, followed by a chance to meet the players and watch the match.
The scheme starts today at Darlington's first home game of the season against Kidderminster Harriers.
The fun starts at noon and youngsters will be collected at 5pm. Cost of the matchday experience is £8.
Kevin Stonehouse, the club's football in the community officer, said: "Last year, we got nearly 60 children at first, which is the limit, and although it died down a little bit, we continued to get an influx of children coming throughout the season."
Anyone wanting further information can contact Mr Stonehouse on (01325) 381972.
