A NORTH-EAST football club is holding a business breakfast to highlight investment opportunities.

Darlington FC will host a meeting at Blackwell Meadows, the home of Darlington Rugby Club, tomorrow (Thursday, January 9) for local businesses to find out how they can play a part in the club's future success.

The event is billed as an opportunity for people to understand more about the football club and the commercial benefits of investing in an equity fundraising scheme.

The club says depending on equity investment levels, businesses entitled to hold shares can enjoy reductions of up to 25 per cent on all commercial advertising packages over three years as well as complimentary season tickets and hospitality packages.

The breakfast event is due to start at 7.30am and finish at 9am.

The last date for businesses to invest under this scheme is Friday, January 17.
