As part of our ongoing commitment to improve the DFC fan experience, we hold quarterly DFC merchandise raffles that YOURCLUB subscribers and/or DFC Owners can enter for free!
At the back-end of 2022 we ticked over 1,200 Owners for the first time in our history. A momentous occasion as we ended our tenth year as a fan owned club!
At time of writing (Saturday 22nd June 2024), we currently sit at a fantastic 1,266 Owners. We also currently have 5,219 subscribers in total to YOURCLUB, a number that just keeps on growing!
Richard McBride won the first of our 2022 DFC Owner raffles, receiving the 2021/22 squad-signed Joma shirt that had been presented to the YOURCLUB team for sponsoring the Guiseley game in October 2021. Andrew Bower took home a squad-signed 2008/09 Vandanel shirt, Peter Pugh won a squad-signed 2011/12 Errea shirt and Natasha Ward won a squad-signed 2022/23 Joma shirt, presented to the YOURCLUB team when they sponsored the Southport FA Cup game. Four very happy Darlo fans in 2022!
In January 2023, Steven Richardson took home a 'match worn' Joe Wheatley shirt from 2018/19 season (signed by Joe himself...), in April Jamie Karim bagged himself one of our 1995/96 'Orange' repro shirts, Rob Coffey won a Rob Purdie-signed match worn away shirt from the 2008/09 season in July and Alec White was the lucky winner of a squad-signed home Puma shirt from the 2018/19 season in October.
So far in 2024, John Jackson was lucky enough to win himself a squad-signed 2023/24 season shirt in January via an X/Twitter competition and in February Koby Jack took home a 'match worn' Ben Hedley 2022/23 season shirt and a framed picture of the man himself.
