Brentford FC's promotion push could get a massive boost with League Two rivals Darlington set to go into administration this morning.

The Quakers are seventh, eight points behind Andy Scott's table-toppers, but have two games in hand..

Football League rules state a club entering administration before the fourth Thursday in March will be immediately docked 10 points.

That would all but eliminate the north-east outfit out of the automatic promotion race, and hand another bonus to the high-flying Bees.

AFC Bournemouth and Rotherham have already been docked 17 points for going into administration earlier this season.
