No not my age group, but good marketing could attract the younger end, those “ untainted” impressionable ones.

When we had large crowds at Millmoor a fair number of them lived in walking distance or easy bus ride from the ground.

Take Donny and Barnsley out of the Dearne Valley area then where’s the nearest ground to easily get to?
