I understand that the arena is owned by former Darlington FC chairman George Houghton not the club, so is not subject to the current administration order

If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg
Think, and I stress think that the hotel idea was knocked on the head. That was the reason they entered administration. Thnk the hotel idea was the last chance card from the Chairman. They really are in trouble now, only 5 full time staff work at the Arena, having said that I thought they did a great job on Saturday, even the Oldham fans were saying how good it was. Bit sad that Thunder could be the last team ever to play there.
Hopefully Darlo will be saved
George Reynolds has suggested that the council buy the club!!!!! Not sure the residents of Darlo would be happy with their council tax going up about 1150% to pay off the debts
