No bug ger financed our 3 new stands , office's , changing rooms , brand new training facilities , academy and indoor complex , we paid for it ourselves .

You'd still be at the DVS without Tony Stewart because you didn't have the clout to fund anything yourselves .

I didn't see too much progress rebuilding Millmoor either .

Looking forward to the new season as ever brin thanks .
Sorry Animal, but surely The Premier League paid for some of those stands with parachute payments, which although nowhere near what they are today, were very significant at the time. Football is about ifs, buts and only, and the big difference was that the Tykes retained 2nd tier football after promotion in 1981, whereas we were relegated after two seasons and also we were owned by someone who at the time spent money that he had not got. There but for fortune.........
