One would assume the administrators would keep the insurance going to ensure they are still covered in case of injury.

For those not in the know:
Brian Fairey is a sad act of a Crystal Palace fan who comes on here posing as a Brighton/Liverpool fan to take the piss out of all the supposed Premiership plastics making up the crowd at the Amex this season. Ignore the twot - Palace have got more Arse/Spurs/Chelsea/Man Utd/Liverpool fans in their home seats than Brighton will ever have.

I feel confident they'll pop up again. Shame to see it happen, I'd feel worse if they didn't piss their money away on a stadium they didn't need, but it's still sad to say any club get wound up.
As a side note, they were responsibly for the dullest football match I've ever seen. Went to visit my sister who lives up Leicester way, had to spend the day with her husband so we decided to take in a football game at any old club. Notts County 0 - 0 Darlington. One shot all game. Our steward had a dead magpie.

This comment really beggars belief!
Believe it or not, there have been/are so many clubs outside the Premiership struggling with financial problems - and I don't mean struggling to find an extra couple of million to sign a player. Even one club going to the wall would be one too many.
The trouble is, to people like you it would need to be Liverpool, Chelsea, Man U or Citeh before you take any notice.......
Ahh! Thanks for the heads-up. I shall consider myself crodo'd.

They will, but there will be no club to conduct the rehabilitation, so any player with a serious injury would end up being treated in hospitals, private clinics and so on, with no day to day contact with other footballers and little prospect of finding a new team. Any of our players getting crocked will be working closely with the club to get fit again, for however many months it takes. There can't be much motivation if you're on your own.

What a terrible tragedy for the game. As Easy 10 said above, eyebrows were raised when that lunatic of a former chairman of theirs built such a huge stadium for such a modest but decent, historic club. I loved my trip to Feethams in about 1996, now that was a great old-fashioned ground; one with a cricket pitch next door and that harked back to an era when football often co-existed with other sports at close quarters. I'd love for Darlington to regroup there if they can.

Looks like they will be going the Halifax route and start up again, just shows that relegation from the FL is for a lot of ex league teams a death sentence

Is Vic Reeves a football fan? He grew up in Darlington. Surely he could have afforded the money to save his local club?

It would have been easier if he just said he is a ****, no-one would have any problem understanding, or believing that.

A sad day for football, I hope they rebuild and come back. The total prick on a wind up mission on here Brian Fairey, is bang out of order. I wouldn't even wish Palace folding, because of the lives that are affected. Obviously not a football fan.

A sad day for football, and I hope Darlington start again in the lower leagues and make a comeback, ala Aldershot and Wimbledon.
I dont want to sound an arse, but this is the third time in eight years that they have gone in adminastration, so maybe its time to let them go.
Personally I get fed up with business writing of their debts, and starting up doing exactly the same thing but with a slightly different name.
Hope the Darlington fans set up a new club, and have happier times.
