    harsh. you'd have thought they'd come to some arrangement. Bet they used to 'love the club' and kiss the badge (if they've been holding the club to ransom)
    Fair do's if they've been playing for nothing.

    A couple had handed in their notice and a couple moved on a 'nominal fee' (probably as much as they could get, really).


    Saddled with debts, a giant stadium, and crowds circling around the 2,000-mark, Darlington have struggled since being placed in adminstration by former chairman Raj Singh earlier this month.
    sound familiar?

    Sad day for the club -built a 25k stadium (EPL standard) but were never going to get more than 5k fans (max).

    Middle class town, that has two big rugby clubs, plus a lot of local's watch Boro, Sunderland, and Newcastle.

    Still sad for the core support.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16582453.stm - Coventry 'on the brink'

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16577851.stm - Northampton - £7m to be bottom of league 2.

    Interesting about Coventry and their part council owned stadium being the root of all their problems, maybe we should let the Cooncil build it for our neighbours under the proviso that all income generated on a match day is used to pay back the debt

    I've been in that stadium and it's a beauty but it was madness building it given the demographic
    This is how it feels

    JC - superb stadium, Premier status in terms of standard - lounges etc...

    Long story, but built on a single guy's ego, and it has not worked, looks like it will be knocked down, and maybe sold to a supermarket.

    PS - Built by Hall construction, who did our East stand.

    Guy that built the stadium, George Reynolds, is a convicted criminal. A total vanity project for a town that as you say is full of Mags, Mackems and Boro supporters. Crying shame for the Darlo fans, one of whom I still keep in touch with from my time in Co. Durham.

    Vlad never got as far as the stadium

    That's a shocking read - no player should be treated in that manner

    If they can find £50,000 before 3pm then they could secure the club until the end of jan (3 fixtures)

    You have got to wonder why either of the old firm don't grab Darlo and give themselves a route into English Leagues ....
