Darlington defender Steve Foster has admitted that he and his colleagues welcome the chance to play football as a means of forgetting about the club's financial woes.

The Quakers were forced into administration several weeks ago, with their play-off hopes all but ended by a subsequent ten-point deduction.

Foster told the Northern Echo: "When you get a chance to go out and kick somebody and get those frustrations out of your system, then that can really help.

"But to be honest I wouldn't like to think what's going on off the pitch distracts us really.

"Once you step out on to the pitch, whether it's a Sunday morning game or a game like this, you want to play to win.

"We're expecting more information on Tuesday and we understand that there should be a little bit of money coming in then."
