Portred Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I was only 4 1/2 in jan 82, but for me those 8 saved the club I love. So much so, I told me Mrs the story and told her of a pic the e po printed on the 25th anniversary. Bless her heart, she came on here and started a thread 'trying to trace AG8 poster' didn't have the heart to tell her I seen it, so instead I started to reply to her post trying to help her. I know she had a great deal of help from dollymarie and even the club itself. Just before ma's my little boy picked up my phone and called up this site, alas I got found out and sadly never got what would've been a blinding pressie, I know she tried real hard to find it and I do have a birthday this year !!

SuperDziek Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I seem to remember a career criminal (George Reynolds - a safecracker) owning the club and having a 20k stadium built that was never filled. He ended up inside for tax evasion, and the club has gone downhill ever since. Extremely sad that a club ends up that way, and I really hope they survive.

bristolcitysweden Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Wasn't there obviously, But just reading the Darlington fans post made me realise just how upset I would be if we were ever to face that situation again. I know we've got a lot of debt, but thank god for Steve Lansdown. I really hope Darlington survive. Jordan, I don't think we have a lot of debt. What the Lansdown family has put in to the club has become shares, "equity" and is not debt. As a club we probably never have been fitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
