Darlington are offering fans the chance to return to the Northern Echo Arena on matchdays with cut-price ticket bundles.

The club are making the offer available for the final 12 home games of the season as Steve Staunton's side bid to climb away from the bottom of the Coca-Cola League Two table.

The deal enables fans to buy a ticket for any five of the club's remaining home fixtures, at a reduced overall price.

The adult bundle is available for £65, which works out at £13 per ticket and is a total saving of £25 on matchday prices.

Over-65s bundles are priced £40 (£8 per ticket, saving a total of £20), Under-16s are £20 (£4 each, saving £20), Under-10s are £12.50 (£2.50 each, saving £12.50) and family tickets are priced £150 (£30 per match, saving £50 in total).

Chairman Raj Singh said: "We're still only half way through the season in terms of matches, so there's a lot of football to be played, especially at home, and these are going to be crucial games to us.

"We want to try and encourage as many fans to come back, particularly during this time of great need for the club. We're convinced increased attendances will only help the players on the pitch and we'll be able to get ourselves out of this.

"I firmly believe we have a genuine chance of achieving what would be the greatest of Great Escapes, but we won't be able to do it without our supporters, whether that's those who continue to support us, lapsed fans or even new ones.

"By taking advantage of this ticket offer our fans will be giving us an extra helping hand."

The ticket bundles cover the last 12 games of the current season, beginning with Rotherham on Saturday, and also includes Lincoln, Chesterfield, Notts County, Port Vale, Torquay, Barnet, Aldershot, Hereford, Accrington, Grimsby and Dagenham.

The bundles are available from the ticket office at the Northern Echo Arena, or call 0871 855 1883.
