    When I say every fan has the right to decide and see this as they see it I do draw the line when it comes to supporting the club in an " Out Of Town " scenario .

    The day the club leaves the town is the day it is no longer representative of the Borough Of Barnsley .

    In my opinion you lose your Barnsley FC credentials and simply follow the ownership in a franchise manner .

    As much as Oakland Raiders fans in the NFL who would continue to support the club even though they now reside in Las Vegas .

    Absolutely nobody as far as I'm aware followed Wimbledon to Milton Keynes and why would they ?

    This country is culturally different to the rest of the world which is why absolutely nobody despite having two teams in the same town or city would even contemplate sharing the same stadium as Inter and AC Milan do .

    Even though it makes financial sense in many respects but culture in this country is way more important than money at least when it comes to our clubs .

    If it was it would have happened years ago

    You wouldn't have got me through the turnstiles at Coventry City if I was a fan playing in Northampton or at Birmingham City if they were in the top four in the PL .

    There are things even today money cannot buy .

    JUst not the way to do business or the way to act in a business sense is it Animal. like you say, American culture may be much more tolerant of these ways of working.
