I wouldn't trust Barnsley council to stir my tea reyt.
The Council bought its piece of the club for a good reason. IMHO that reason still holds good today and I'd feel more comfortable knowing that the Council was still involved. Love em or hate em, when it comes to Oakwell they're looking after a community asset and something we all hold dear. It's not as if anybody at the Town Hall makes any footballing decisions, so what difference does it make to Mr Lee if they won't sell? What's he wanting to do that they wouldn't be happy about?
Correct Goats.
Summats not reyt here. Thuzza nasty smell.
What is it that Mister Lee is wanting to do that is causing the Council possibly not wanting to sell ? Stick to your guns Council. Three cheers fo you and dun't let Mister Lee pillock thi like he has done with many fans. There is hope yet that we can dodge this bullet and he buggas off to Blackpooil.
The council see the development potential of the land also
I apologise Colliers if you think me expressing an opinion of Barnsley Council and some of it's voters ruined the thread. It's just that as the actions of Barnsley Council could be fundamental in the future prosperity of our football club, and as other posters had already mentioned them it was ok to post my two pennerth. I'd forgotten that you can't post on here unless you've Karl Marx tattoed on your eyelids. Sorry
[QUOTE=upthecolliers;38704305]Colliers, no one is saying the people of Barnsley are stupid. I'm merely saying that a- Barnsley council will act in the best interests of Barnsley Council without fear of any electoral back lash and b- many people in Barnsley will vote labour without really knowing who or what they are voting for. They vote merely on the basis that Labour are for the common man with little or no research.
I'd just end by saying that I didn't vote for any party last time around as there's little to choose between them, I'd never vote for an IRA sympathiser on over 100k a year with 1.5 million in his pension pot funded by me and thee, who professes to be "for the many" . They're all the same nip, don't believe what The Guardian tells you.
