New Lease

[Shadrack the Red]

Tell that to the people of Calderdale Nudge where the Council are looking to sell The Shay because of budget shortfalls.

It is only a small proportion of Barnsley MDC residents that are Barnsley FC fans. If the matter of selling Oakwell were put to a local referendum the result may disappoint you.

At the moment the Leader of the Council Steve Houghton is a life long Barnsley fan. That could change.

It is the Covenant protecting Oakwell in the long term.

I am not sure whether it matters if the council members are fans or not SB , I simply would not trust them to run a bath , the fact that they have turned Hoyland Common from a rural village into a commercial nightmare destroying green belt land & creating traffic carnage fills me with no confidence what so ever , I was hoping that one day our current owners would move on & we would return to an owner or owners who had an affiliation to the club & the town ,thus making future decisions on the direction of the club with its best interests at heart but alas the council hold the cards & that frightens me .

Having been brought up in Hoyland Common Shads, I have to agree that they have made a mess of it.
