The original plan was to take Mowden Park into the Rugby top flight (Premier?) and they brought in some top players on big wages to try to make it happen. Not sure how close they got, egg chasing is not my thing. One of my mates is involved in the "other" rugby club Darlington RFC and tells me they have blown most of their windfall now. Not sure how true that because there is some inter club enmity to factor in.When Mowden sold their old ground they got millions for the land. This allowed them to buy the Stadium and still have a significant amount left.
At some point someone is going to have to do some maintenance work on the "Arena" and the longer it is left the bigger the bills are going to be.
