As things stand at the minute, Darlington Football Club is looking increasingly likely to fold. Reynolds will not accept the Sterling deal and has said he would rather see the club close than accept what Sterling are offering. The administrators are running out of reasons to justify keeping the club running. However, Reynolds is not the only man stopping the deal going ahead.
The Football League have effectively backed Mr Reynolds by saying that any deal for the club must be backed by all creditors or else we will be kicked out of the league. As i understand, the administrators could still proceed with the Sterling deal without Reynolds' approval but it would mean we'd be starting again several leagues lower - something which Sterling would not want and therefore they would likely pull out of the deal.
Here's where i need your help. A petition has been set up online to send to the football club asking them to relax their rules considering our situation. The more signatures we get, the more likely they are to take notice of it. To sign the petition, please go here
If you have time i would also recommend emailing the football league with your comments and views. They can be contacted at fl@football-league.co.uk
They will probably not read our emails but its worth a shot. I will post my contribution later when i've written it.
Thanks for your time. DFC.
