    Barnsley council have bought 50% shares of the club for a snip.

    They will do feck all with it on maintenance and upgrade cos they have no mandate from the local tax payers to spend money at a time when we cannot even get a few pot holes filled on major roads etc.

    A steady decline off and on the field.

    A legal tenancy agreement between a Council/ Social Housing Company and a private tenant sets out what each are responsible for in terms of improvements eg double glazing, damp issues.

    Commercial tenancy agreements are much more varied. We do not know the agreement between BFC and Barnsley Council but I would anticipate the Council is only responsible for basic maintenance/ health and safety issues and would not be involved in funding any building development and major upgrades just as a commercial company leasing premises would not expect the landlord to fund developments/ machinery designed to improve profits/ success.
