"Supporting Manchester United is easy, you
generally win something every year. The club has the
money to spend on the best players and youth development.
We could not see ourselves travelling up and down the
country to watch the likes of Darlington and Morecambe.
The loyal supporters of those teams are the real heroes
in football, not David Beckham"

Learning centre plans welcomed
Darlington Supporters' Trust has
welcomed plans by the football club for educational and
community facilities at the arena site. The learning centre
is part of £12m proposals, which include a hotel, football
pitches and indoor sports centre.
A spokesman for the Trust said: "The most exciting bit
from our point of view is the learning centre although we
plan to discuss with the Club the range of facilities that
will be made available for those with disabilities. The
Trust and our Disabled Supporters Group is keen to ensure
that the Club plays an important role in the local community
and clearly help and assistance for those with disabilities
is a key issue"
"We fully support the concept that football clubs are
close to their communities and this is long overdue."
The trust said it would look, as part of the
consultation, at the detail of the plans but was encouraging
of efforts to create off-the-field revenue for the club. The
plans include a classroom next to pitches for sports based
courses, allowing DFC to increase the size of its Centre of
Excellence to take up to 60 scholars. There will also be a
hotel and catering training centre, linked to the 100-bed
hotel, in a link-up with Darlington College.
