Andy was a contracted player so will have his Darts wages for this season but I guess will take a big financial hit on his day job wages and as a family man will find the going [ financially ] tough , I would hope that the Club will help with a fundraising event and that Darts fans
can set up a " just Giving " site to make a [ financial ] contribution to a really good guy !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Having suffered a double leg break myself, i can only sympathise with Andy, the pain itself was unbearable at times and i do wish him all the best in his recovery.
I would like to think that Andy was sufficiently insured against this happening, if this is not the case then The Dukes idea of a"just giving"site is an excellent idea .
Back to the injury itself , it depends whether it was a"so called" clean break of the Tibia and Fibula in which it can be a re-set without any complications, and this normally takes about six months recovery time,"From Experience" in which case there is a possibility he could make a comeback,
but if it involves surgery and pinning, then Darren is right, he may have to call it a day, which is devastating not only to Andy , but Dartford FC as well.
