This season has been alright for Darlington, however, I thought we would be doing a little bit better than we are. We had a shaky start but thinks got better as we played more games. On the league we are currently in 4th place, which is good for our goal of getting promoted this season. We just need to keep it up for a few more months. Aside from that we unfortunately ended up losing to Grimsby 0x2 on the 2nd round of the FA Trophy, which apparently pissed off the board. However, to make up for that we had some amazing results in the FA cup. We were not supposed to get past Scunthorpe in the 3rd round of the competition, but we ended up tying the first game and winning our home game. We did not expect this great of a result. This led us to a 4th round game against Arsenal, which was crazy. We had no illusions about getting kicked out of the competition by them, however such a big club brough a full house to our game, which luckily was at home. We had 25033 people watching our game, not even counting TV viewers. This brought us a total of 535608 pounds for just one game, which is such an amazing boost for our finances, we even managed to come out of the red. Currently we have 220K in balance, which might even be enough to keep us afloat to the end of the season. If we do well, we might even be able to spend some more money on salaries next season. What a great thing this Arsenal game was.
