    ......... if we haven’t got a stadium, a home, then we really haven’t got a club .......... so does it matter who we sign and how well the team performs.
    The club is in a fu.cking state.

    Agreed. Just buy the stadium and stop being little bitches about it.

    I don’t think this dispute is about the amount of money available - my understanding of it is that there are obstacles in the way of developing the stadium.

    Define developing the stadium.

    They could build a 100,000 seater stadium on Oakwell and theres no covenant stopping it.

    There maybe one stopping them sticking houses in the centre circle though

    As someone who used to run the club said to me “why would that be an issue”.

    I don't think off field activities have taken the shine off this season at all. We've started by losing to a worldie but get to play at one of the biggest clubs in the country after back to back cup clean sheets. The only thing taking the shine off the season is not being able to watch in person.

    Well if it's not taken the shine off the season it certainly has made me feel upbeat about the immediate and long term future of our club...
