This thread makes me a little ashamed of our fans. I thought we were bigger than that and would get on with things and support all our peer clubs. Totally embarrassed of anybody who's felt the need to complain.

Quoted from Quakerz

I'm fully aware of that.

You are not ran within your "real" means like we aren't.

So what are your views on the likes of Fleetwood & Crawley and the majority of the Premier League. There are probably more team being 'bank rolled' out there than ones that are not.

My view is that Fleetwood and Crawley are plastic, made up, excrement clubs. They are massively bankrolled so they can blow anybody out of the water. Then send 70 fans to Darlo to watch their multi million team. It isn't fair is it? This is not like at other clubs where directors put in x amount to keep the club competetive, like at Grimsby and Darlo, this is spend what it takes to win.

TBH I don't have a problem with yourselves relying on directors/chairmen to prop you up, my point is you shouldn't criticise other clubs from that position.

So you enjoy being beaten by teams who can't afford the players they have and distort the league then smugly laugh in everyone's faces after going into admin.  It's lilly livered sym pathetic fools who bend over time and time again that have made the football pryamid in this country the joke it is now.  Any club going into admin for the first time have my sympathy after that it just takes the urine.  urine that people like you are happy to lap up.  Poor Darlo, boo hoo.

We're preying on them like bloody vultures! They only want 2 players. They are not wanting Messi or Ronaldo for god sake. I don't see any of them laughing in our faces, i've never seen Darlington have success because of this money. In fact all i've seen is decline! It's no body elses fault but that sharp object Reynolds trying to rinse out all money he could from them. It's not affecting us them bringing in 2 players is it? It's about keeping this league competitive for all involved and if two players make it that bit easier then that's fine by me. Nobody else has complained, just a couple of our fans and everybody else in the league has an element of compassion, even Fleetwood. You'd think given our possible mess then we as fans would understand but instead we have TOTALLY embarrased ourselves on this one. There's people linking this thread on the internet now saying all sorts about our fan base. To anybody reading this, these selfish people are the minority in a support that would otherwise like to see Darlington at least see out the rest of the season.

You can't afford the players you have without significant financial support! Just like us! Why are you unable to see this? Only difference is our chairmen pulled the plug.

Are you kidding me. I was embarrassed and humiliated.

Here's something for you to chew on...

Apparantly Bournemouth - who have been in administration twice, have just paid 800k for Matt Tubbs from Crawley, who have been in administration twice. And you have a Grimsby fan actually taking the time to write to the conference to complain about us wanting to loan a couple of 19 year olds at no cost to ourselves.

Sorry, but who is smugly laughing?

i think, in all honesty that the punishments are not severe enough. its been said before, and will continue to be said.
otherwise, teams will not learn. what is needed is the short sharp shock treatment.

Quakers, no-one is having a go at you, the fans, its the way that its happened and the fact it has been allowed to happen for a 3rd time.

Anyone would think it's the fans that make the decisions on player salarys and other financial decisions, the people who make these decisions i.e. owners - people running the clubs, it's those that should be really punished - they are not fit to run a club ever again and should not be allowed to and one day it may happen to your club, I hope for anyone it doesn't happen.

If Fenty pulls the plug on us we will be no different to the situation that Darlington fans are in, it's happend 3 times to them because useless idiots are running a club beyond its means, and we have lost hundreds of thousands every year, it could easily happen to us.
