Commenting on the project, Mike Brown (Trust Chairman and football club Marketing Director) said:

“Supporters have been calling for a way to contribute to the playing budget for many years and the Trust are delighted to launch Boost the Budget to help with John Askey’s push for promotion. Clubs like Darlington have raised over £100,000 per season and we hope that we can at least match that.

Whilst the Trust and Glen Henderson have provided substantial funds to the football club, we want to ensure this is equitable and this project provides the perfect platform to make that happen. We recognise that some supporters are struggling at this difficult time but hope people can afford a monthly contribution that will soon add up.”
