Has the meeting with the journalist taken place yet? If so how did it go?
Sorry if I've missed something on another thread

We haven't met yet. Was supposed to meet him last Saturday but his editor asked him to cover the Darlington situation at the last minute. We've rearranged for a week on Saturday, and he's received further answers/info from the questions he had about the original information he was sent. All in all, despite not actually meeting yet, the situation is progressing well

Thanks Mids, keep up the good work mate, I don't see as many dissenters as there used to be I was one of those to be fair. Was swayed considerably on here though! I think people just want it out in the open now, and the quicker this piece is out in the public domain for all the read rather than whoever comes on this board - the better. People won't like being told it, I think.. But we all know the media's impact on people's lives don't we so I think this is for the best. Of course, am sure that the club are fully aware of whats been said on this board so should be fully prepared for the retort which will also make very interesting reading.

Yes I read the piece about Darlington in the Guardian today, decent read too. Makes a change from all the usual stuff about the Premier/Champions League. Darlington look to be in big trouble!

They are indeed, they've just been docked 10 points. Shouldn't go down though.

Thats a good spot of journalism, i also like some of the posts further down, especially mikejenks : "Yet another fiscal tear jerker from Mr. Conn. Im a Man City fan deep down but I now choose to watch Altrincham for the honesty, entertainment and Colin Little. Last night we lost to Torquay in the 92nd minute but were richly entertained. Sadly, a crowd of less than 800 and almost 100 were from Torquay. On a Tuesday night, 800 mile round trip, awesome. But why? The league set up is no longer sustainable. There has to be a return to regional leagues and part time players on realistic wages. And money taken OUT of the giants and redistributed to the lower reaches. It is plainly wrong that Man City now have the buying power to wreck the transfer system. It is wrong that the money is divided up amongst the rich, making the gap ever wider. Football is the peoples game and corporate has stolen it. I want it back. Let Stretford Rangers have their European league – and Arsenal Chelsea and Liverpool. Football needs the Darlingtons and the Lutons – it is the fans that are punished because of the lack of probity from the men who administer our game." www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2009/mar/11/darlington
