The worst bit is, in football terms, they owe other clubs.

How can they get away with that?

Cheating bastads deserve to go out of business (c) Mutters

Anyone for a dance along York Road??

The worst bit is..

Darlington FC also owes a total of £2,851.27 to three local schools. Even the charity St John Ambulance is £2,472.96 out of pocket.

I'm not sure that they can. Weren't Leeds threatened with a withdrawal of their Football League golden share unless they settled their football debts??

its bordering on stealing. They should be threw out of the league if thats allowed to stand. Time for the FA to get tough

Its theft alrigh the trouble is its legal theft and they'll probably get away with it.Just imagine us going into Tesco's getting a £1000 worth of stuff and offering to pay a tenner cos we're skint!! . Its much like all these MP's and the reasons why they got away with it "only abiding by the rules" my arse... (On a sperate note I wonder how much of his dosh George II will get back via the back door!!)

Unfortunately it's just a standard CVA, they happen every day at about the rate of 200 companies. Everyone gets screwed except the Administrators.

they won't get their Golden Share from the FL if theyfail to make arrangements to pay football creditors. After all, competing unfairly to start with by giving yourself an unfair advantage is one thing, but by also handicapping one of your competitors at the same time by not giving them what you owe, is just doubling the piss take.

Tis not 9p in the £1, it's 0.9p in the £1

When you look at it , not only the people of Darlington who have been screwed , but every player, who was on the books has been. And possibly every other club in League 2

I quote

Since February, the club has taken receipts equal to £632.086.57, with payments of £287,320.20. ,

means in 4 months they made £344,766.37. So as it states since February (Darlington went into Administration on the 24th of that month) a lot of that £344,766.37 would have been in gate receipts,and the fund raising game plus other donations, but a lot would have been saved by player's wages being deferred,staff being laid off so just what were they paying (yes not my problem) but surely competing wage wise above their weight, and therfore "cheating" other clubs in League 2. Are they not restricted to 50%-60% of their income on transfers and wages, so surely above that.

Should the FL investigate.

Now of that £344,766.37 profit Im assuming you can add the £71,837.50 on top of it as well (administrations bill) , equates to £416,603.87 profit over 4 month, so over a £100k a month profit for calling in the administrators and as Elvis puts it F****** over the people of Darlington

Anyone, either individual or company, who deal with Darlington FC in the future wants their head(s) examining. Being treated by the local business community as a Leper Colony in their midst could be the final downfall, even more than that Echo Chamber of a Stadium, for the Loids. And I won't be shedding a single tear when it happens.

Aye Mr Fetish but IN February they were massively in debt so the receipts vanished into a big black hole called the overdraft interest. Thats not a payment it's a reduction of debt.

I'll piss laughing if it gets voted down.

Yada, yada, yada...

Lets face it, you could be in the same position if IOR decided to stop sticking a million quid a year in.

Step back, realise how lucky you are to be one of the few clubs that punches above its natural weight with no fear of the debt being called in by its owners, and shut the fook up.

You are no different to us, except twice our backers have ran out of money.

No.

Reynolds had ran out of money and the situation was unsaveable, the debt unsustainable.

Houghton hasn't ran out of money though, has he?

That's the difference between this time and the last and why I think Houghton is worse.

If I was a local business around Darlington I wouldn't change a light bulb without cash up front. I mean ffs that woman who runs the small hotel who hasn't been payed a bean, you've got to feel for people like that it's totally immoral.

Two posts, both correct.

I bet 'Sussex' is bleeding....(bleeding ugly)....(and gay)....to reply!!!!

Come on Mods....let him back on!!!!

I think that's quite a crucial difference actually Mr Quakers, don't you??

Yes it is a very crucial difference but does not invalidate my point does it?

My point being we have been backed twice and both backers baled out, and you've been backed for years but your backer hasn't baled out. What if your backer did bale out? then what?

Which is why Poolies should not be blarting on about how Darlo are a disgrace etc.

Nice to see GR has gotten rid of his shredded wheat hairstyle.

Clearly the Poolie in the photo is suffering from small man syndrome if he feels the need to pose with GR like that to get one over Darlo. Clearly the Poolie IS small, and insignificant, as he appears to be the same height as midget Reynolds, who is only about 5ft 4 with high heels on.

Little insignificant monkey boy.

I'm sure you tw@ts wouldn't think it so funny if I posed in a picture with Garry Gibson would you? Fooking plebs.

I have to say I dont normally agreee with a loid but I hate the way a lot of poolies love having their picture taken with GR and the fact he got invited to the 100th anniversary dinner is a joke

Thank you compo.

A reasonable bloke you are.

Shame about some of your pals.

Why the fook would any curnt want to invite Reynolds to a Poolie do? Do these people not see how fooking sad and low they look.

Have some class lads.

Come on Quakerz, you know the routine.................a few too many beers are supped, and theres Reynolds posing with all and sundry, and then someone says lets a get a photo took, and wind the loids up on a message board.

It will have been done in the name of humour, and I bet it was very funny at the time. And you do have a few fans that deserve the wind up...........you have many more that dont like.

The sad part is......I cant, and never will, understand why he was invited to a 100 year celebration of HUFC. Unless someone at HUFC felt that Darlingtons financial woes are a crucial part of HUFC's history. Which of course would be a fookin disgrace.

Actually, can someone explain to me, why this nasty piece of work, WAS invited?

To give you something to moan about.

ADG, no matter how many beers were supped, it is NOT funny.

Do you think that if I invited Garry Gibson to a Darlo bash that he'd come? Would he hell. Why would he want to? The fact that Reynolds WAS invited, because people know he is an idiot, an idiot that would accept, is deplorable, and there can only be ONE reason to invite him - and that is to get loads of pictures of him with Poolies laughing at Darlo.

He wasn't even invited for good reasons, whichever cretins invited him did it to use him, the fooking sad, sad, botters.

I should say "fooking (small) sad, sad, fooking botters (with small man syndrome and a little dick)"

He was more than likely invited to the Gav Mann fundraiser as they wanted to raise as much money as possible for his daughter, and the more local celebs there the more people who would turn up, get there hand in there pocket and give money to a very good cause..

I think the real fuckwit here is you for not realising that.

Quakerz, I agree with you. And I wouldnt have gone with Reynolds there.

Never will.

And I dont find your current situation funny either.

Wake up you dizzy silly boy, just fooking wake up.

He was probably at the Centenary Dinner and the Gav Mann fundraising do because he is mates with Goffy, and was probably invited by him

Clearly I'm awake, clearly i can see the bigger picture here.

You can't.

And why would he be mates with said small Poolie man?

I never said he is.

But if your organising a fundraiser, it makes sense too get people there who can get bums and seats and hands in pockets, george, like him or loath him, does that.

If...if...if......

Do they look like the sort of people who'd simply run out of money?? Do they liquidate the debt every season??

They aren't the sort of nutters you attract, and whilst we're all a bit dubious about their motives and they aren't forthcoming on why they're here, they are here. For the long haul in my eyes.

I never said they would pull out, I'm just showing that you are in the same boat as Darlo, ie rich backers, so you shouldn't pour scorn when ours pull out.

You fooking dimwit.

What a tit Quakerz is.

Of course we should, you can almost set your watch by it

PS

I'll be dancing in the street with Mutters & GR when you go tits up once again

What a fooking penis you are Chris, I said penis.

Quakerz has turned into:

Gud un that.....

Will this be the third or fourth time in Admin come 2011-2012

Your team can't help itself, can it?

Dragged out of the shite once again and off you go spunking money you cannot afford, Windarse & Todd for gawds sake....

Thanks for your support mate. All sorted ...

I've never poured scorn??

It's not my fault you feel like a completely inadequate serial sock masturbator because of that circus you support and the clowns that run it. When are we ever 7 million in debt?? We drop about a mill a season and IOR make it up. How could we ever be in the same position as your club?? Name me a small hotel, a school or a registered charity that we haven't paid in full??

Why isn't the message going in?? Oh aye, it can't get through the cabbage leaves your head is full of, you teacake.

Now go and shake a bucket.

i think that the main difference that people arent mentioning are the stadiums. If ior left there are plenty of cut backs we could make in order to survive, true this would probably see us return to bottom half 2nd division but we would still survive all the same. Darlo however, with their fucking stupid premier league stadium are fucked until they can get rid of it and get something like feethams back. Thats the difference.
