A NEW hospitality package has been launched by Darlington Football Club.

Officials say that the Platinum Lounge is aimed at fans and small businesses and will provide a cost-effective alternative to executive boxes.

The match day package will include a reserved table for between two and ten people, complimentary tea and coffee, a match-day carvery, seats in the south stand and car parking passes.

It will cost £1,035 per person for the full season or £50 per person on a match-by-match basis.

Shirley Foster, head of the commercial section at Darlington Football Club, said: "We are aware that the cost of an executive box for ten people can be prohibitive for smaller businesses or groups of friends who are looking for more than just a seat in the stands.

"We have reacted to requests for an additional hospitality package and the exclusive and spacious Platinum Lounge will offer an affordable and flexible option.

"Fans will still be able to access Bar 66, the Corner Bar, the Ron Greener suite and the concourses for a pre, or post, match drink."
