[Amazing Hangover]

Now That Darlington have been relegated four steps to the Northern League, (plus point - 350 fans in a 25 000 seat stadium don't look much different to 1 500 fans in a 25 000 seat stadium) a bench mark must now have been set for the Fish. I demand fairness here.

I guess that other thread has been deleted then ??

For some reason the rules don't apply to Portsmouth.

Stop this obsession with Portsmouth. There but for the grace of God, or rather, Markus. Otherwise it's not Saints related.

Any idea what will happen to Darlington's fairly new 25,000 capacity stadium?

Nonsense. We were never, never, ever with knobs on, (even when in admin), going to go that way. We were/are far too a worthwhile investment, as has been proved.

Marcus was not a Saints fan, he was a businessman. Fact.

It'll gather dust, too expensive to run for anyone to play in, the site would be reasonable for a retail development (sound familiar?) but it's expensive to pull down a 25k seat stadium so is it worth the cost? Probably not at the moment.

Bizarrely Darlington now has two former Football League stadiums sitting empty and unused, and they're talking about building a new one of an appropriate size for the "new" club.

 

I don't know what relevance this has to Portsmouth other than to point out that getting a CVA and transferring ownership of a club to meet the league rules isn't as easy as it looks, especially if the "owner" is being a bit difficult.
