    Whatever you do do not let these vultures get their hands on the stadium. Please

    I agree, but what's prompted that comment? Is there rumblings this could be happening?

    I heard a passionate Barnsley fan on radio Sheffield who is calling time on the club that's all.

    Unlikely, given that PMG etc object to the incumbrance on the title?

    Yeah, it must be terrible for them, wanting to buy land and property in order to run a football club, only to discover that they can only use those assets for sporting purposes. An absolute calamity.

    Thing is, the owners of the ground aren't doing anything with it either. There's not a lot of benefit in having the owners of Oakwell sit back and watch entropy gradually reduce the place to dust.

    How long has Oakwell belonged to the current ownership? Is it 20 years? Anything worthy of note in that time? I'm not sure "at least they haven't sold it" is good enough.

    The West Stand is riddled with wormholes.

    That's quite possible, Wormald is not such an unusual name in these parts.

    Patrick Cryne split the club 50/50 with the council to prevent this very thing. If they ever agree to pay the Cryne's what they owe.. which id be amazed now if that ever happened..
    The very best they could ever achieve is owning half. So your worry is pointless

    There was a Wormald in the year above me at school. He has a seat in ESL.

    What should they have done with it though? The maintenance is down to the tenants.

    I'd say they should have been FAR stricter with enforcing the maintenance aspect of the lease than they have been but wouldn't expect them to be responsible for it

    Well if you think Oakwell is an up to date, comfortable stadium with plenty of facilities then that's your perogative. I don't.

    I don't. I never said that I did. I said that the tenants are responsible for that aren't they?

    For maintenance, not for infrastructure.

    Would it be common for a commercial landlord to build new facilities for a tenant though? One of our sites at work is leased and we recently built a large extension on it which we had to pay for. I'd assume that counts as infrastructure

    Depends whether the owners want a good modern stadium for the club and the community. It doesn't look to me like they do.
