DARLINGTON FC: CLUB ENTER ADMINISTRATION

Blue Square Premier side Darlington have entered administration for the third time in recent years.

Following the news this afternoon the club have been handed an automatic ten point deduction in-keeping with Football League rules.

Chairman Raj Singh revealed the news to fans in a statement on the club's official website, "It is with huge regret that we've had to place the club into administration today."

"I for one certainly didn't envisage this when I took over the club back in August 2009," he continued.

Harvey Madden, joint administrator at the club discussed the challenges facing Darlington and explained how serious a situation they now find themselves in, "Every day is critical if the club is to survive."

"The position of the club is such that without any financial support from outside the club, or anyone willing to acquire the club, I will unfortunately have little alternative but to cease to trade in a very short time."
