At the moment this is just a very strong rumour, but the money man has allegedly pulled his money out. The club has asked the league if they can revert back to their Newmarket name. If so, the dream didn’t last long lol

Have they even started the season yet? This project has seemed like a fantasy from the start ran by someone who clearly has ideas about there station

Good afternoon lads I want to put you in the picture as to what is happening. As all of us have suspected for a while we have unfortunately been victims of a scam and a convincing con man. Nothing he has said has come to fruition and has been a pack of lies. So I’m afraid we as a management team are finished with him. So I have been working on a plan B this morning as follows: 1. I have contacted the league and told them what has happened. We can look to the possibility of going back to Redcar Newmarket and I hope we can change our name back. 2. We can go back and play our games at Rye Hills after I spoke to them this morning. 3. I will have to re affiliate with the FA. 4. The league have told us it is essential that we play our first 3 fixtures while this mess is resolved. 5. I will try to get some money into the club through loyal and trusted sponsors to get us going but I’m afraid it will need monthly subs again but I think we could keep it at £15 per month minimum. 6. I will have to find a new social base because OGradys isn’t an option, but I’m confident we will be able to do that. Basically lads that’s as much as I can say at this stage. The alternative is that we fold the whole thing . The consequences are that the club will be heavily fined. He won’t pay any fines and so all us would be suspended until the money is paid , so you won’t be able to play in any organised football. We in the management are wanting to see this through and we really hope you do to. I know this is a shock to all of you , but believe me the stress it has caused us as a management team is incredible as we have tried to protect you from this idiot’s delusions. Hope your with us . Cheers

Well let's be honest, it was a coo coo idea and the cost per a game at 3k to run it at the area is never gonna fly for basically a sunday league team.
Not shocked and not suprised, my ears rose when they advertised the training top sponsor at 5k.... some fraud trying to earn a quick one over.
Shame for the ground hoppers who made plans to visit the arena.

Imagine if it is Bernard behind the wheel, that would be a moment

Not even a good conman would have you believe this would work surely? The celtic nation thing may have seemed like a rich mans toy but at least there was money there and they never left a trail of destruction behind and the failed project has left a decent stadium for carlisle city to use

To be honest im somewhat shocked to see it being tits up, well moreso shocked it went tits up so soon! I was more thinking of them returning to Rye Hills, but claiming the Arena was their home ground for promotion purposes (where have we heard that one before?)
Once again as said in the Wear United thread, do people actually do their research? What happened? A mysterious fly by night man randomly tells them to move to the Arena for a wad of cash? A ground a 5k gate or so team couldn't sustain? All while Darlington Town are in the midst of an ambitious ground development?
No wonder so many chancers like Varghese/Cala, Gary Coxall, and even Chris Tanner make it so far in football.

Theyve literally got nothing no strips, balls, goals, corner flags nowt zilch. Looks a right shower of dung. Just seen that photo of the management team sat in the stands at that 25k stadium. If only they knew.
