Neither before, during or after was a reason for last night's Fans' Forum ever given, but it did serve to show that George Reynolds' tenure as chairman and owner of Darlington Football Club could be coming to and end.

On several occasions during a passion-filled evening, Reynolds asked the packed Ambassador Suite if they wanted him to leave as countless people threw demanding questions to the chairman. Although the majority of Darlington supporters want him to stay, they also want him to change his ways.

"I have no intention to pull out of this club," said Reynolds when concerned supporters asked if he was to quit as chairman and owner.

Reynolds wants to see through the mission he began almost three years ago, but his theory that supporters must return to Feethams in order to fund the transfers of new players is seriously misguided.

Surely he's heard of the phrase 'speculate to accumulate'? It's a simple fact of football that supporters will NOT spend money on watching an average team.

Reynolds believes supporters must come through the turnstiles BEFORE money can be spent on the team. What he quickly needs to learn is that more supporters will only attend games once the team is playing better football, and that will only happen once quality players are bought.

One-time target Michael Proctor is tipped for a big future but the player's agent refused to let him speak to Darlington. That the agent has this week let him open negotiations with Luton Town is a real kick in the teeth for Darlington fans who are all massively disappointed with the team's performances this season.

The longer Reynolds continues not spending money on the team, the longer Darlington will spend in the Third Division, and therefore, the more likely he is to lose patience and quit.

He labelled the supporters' booing of his wife as the "first nail in the coffin," though how he can't complain about people heckling someone who has just called into question the team's professionalism.

It was obvious for all to see that Susan wants her husband to quit - immediately. She's had enough of the criticism her husband receives and she readily admitted to have desired a move to Monte Carlo before Reynolds bought the club.

And George does deserve some credit for remaining at the club, seemingly against his wife's wishes as his personal fortune, which has taken a lifetime to accumulate, takes a battering. Other, slightly less stubborn and determined, men would have thrown in the towel by now.

But it's plain for all to see that if the club is to go forward, Reynolds must back Tommy Taylor in the transfer market if he wishes to see the new 25,000 all-seater stadium anywhere near full.
