Darlington To Call In Administrators

Darlington are set to call in the Administrators for the third time in nine years, the local press are reporting.

The Quakers players were reportedly told this morning that December's wage bill would not be paid and that the club would enter Administration in the coming days.

Current owner Raj Singh bought the club out of their previous Administration less than three years ago, but relegation to the Conference followed and the club has seen attendances drop by 25% since the start of the season.

Update: A club statement says that Singh is assessing the club's situation with his advisors and that a statement will be made next week.

Meanwhile, Port Vale have announced that Peter Miller is to step down as chairman of the club. The under fire chief is claimed by the club to have only had an agreement to stay until the end of the year, a fact never revealed to fans previously, with the club statement saying that his £100,000 salary and benefits will also cease although he will remain on the board at present.
