Darlington should escape a further points deduction after creditors of the League Two club accepted their administrators' proposals.

The Quakers lost ten points when they moved into administration last term but the fact that their Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) was passed earlier this week means they should miss out on being handed another penalty.

Dave Clark, from administrator Brackenbury Clark & Co, said: "It was a bit of a formality really.

"Most of the creditors voted by proxy which is a piece of paper they submitted instructing the chairman to vote on their behalf."

The CVA will return control of the club to former chairman George Houghton who is in advanced stages to sell it on to his previous vice-chairman Raj Singh.
