en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_GarvieSurely couldn't be him? But he'd be rich enough, and the US location would make sense. Looks like he tried to run for a position in Labour Party but got kicked out due to payment issues. These rich and deluded folks nearly always dabble in politics left or right, so wouldn't put it past him. Not to mention stock car racing = Croft. www.reddit.com/r/ARCARacing/comments/yg94gq/richard_garvie_scam/If this is the same bloke then all my sympathy for Newmarket has evaporated.

Ironic he's from Kettering too! Another team destroyed and ruined by greedy chancers.

If its the same bloke he sure seems to have made his mark in the racing world but no links to redcar/darlington really so surely someone smelt a rat of did they just ignore any concerns for the money on offer. Going to be the headache for the league as the money man could hold the football share |

If something looks too good to be true it generally turns out that way.
From the outset it felt all wrong. Fools rush in where wise men fear to tread.
Let's hope for the sake of those taken in by this chap can get their act together quickly and save the club.

twitter.com/darlingtonutdTwitter account has gone bare, no avatar or backdrop or anything now and they have withdrawn from the Durham FA Trophy as well so seems like this is the end of them

Late last night we managed to take control of the @darlingtonutd social media pages however we have had threats that it will be taken back and deleted which as we wake up today has happened! As the rumours start to spread we wanted to make an official announcement!
Unfortunately after a stressful few weeks of uncertainty the club chairman and “money man” RICHARD GARVIE has pulled out. This leaves management and players 1 day away from the opening game of the season with literally nothing except the debts he has racked up
As of yesterday we have no kits only our third strip which was kindly giving to us as a good will gesture by
@hgsportswear our graphics have been provided @evoleze but again we believe no payment was made , we have no goals , no balls , no corner flags
We have no training kit we have been awaiting the tracking number for over 6 weeks , this is what WE KNOW I’m sure there is more stuff we haven’t uncovered yet! We don’t know exactly what our plan of action is but the club secretary has been working tirelessly the last 24 hours
To try and salvage something so that we can still do the thing we all love and play football this season. There won’t be any big stadium, no fancy graphics, documentaries, post match interviews, club memberships etc just a bunch of lads who want to play footy.

Feel sorry for all the lads involved. It's easy for us to sit from the outside looking in and saying it's obvious it was going to happen, but when you're in that situation of grafting week in week out to keep a club running, it's easy to be sold a dream. It's happened to us before at Billingham Town so I can fully appreciate how they've fell for it and how they must be feeling now. Wish them all the best and hopefully they get sorted back as Redcar Newmarket without too many problems.
