There is a glimmer of hope that troubled Darlington FC may yet survive. The administrator is to hold talks tomorrow with a mystery consortium from outside the area to see if they could be valid bidders. Adam Pearson, the owner of Hull rugby league club, has denied that he is involved.
The Darlington Football Rescue Group is also trying to raise funds to extend the period of administration until the end of the month. It is trying to obtain £50,000 from the Supporters Trust which would then be matched by the owners of the ground. However, there has been some criticism locally of the role of the Supporters Trust.
