    no more bizarre than your constant knocking of a club you claim to support

    I've got a bank statement that confirms I support them.

    borrowing £12m to fund new development… have you actually seen how that is going to be repaid? do you know what the business model is for the extra corporate boxes, or extra seats? extra 1000 seats will really help them when they get only 4000 fans!! do you know when the hotel etc is going to be actually in profit? etc etc…..
    so shall we get into £12m debt to fund a hotel? i am sure you would complain if we did!!!
    shall we increase our capacity and still not have them filled?

    Thanks to Coventry City playing there, otherwise there is no point.

    He was. But as usual attention seekers keep on seeking attention.

    Best ignored. He'll hopefully rot away.

    I think every possible way of generating revenue should be considered providing it's not morally bankrupt and fits in with the tradition of the club.

    So you want us to follow the business models of clubs that are perpetually in financial meltdown. Can't think of a flaw in that plan.

    ive said for sometime now the club should have got out a loan bought the old school and converted it into apartments and a hotel.
    The apartments could be rented out to our loan players, and the hotel could be used the other football clubs to use when they play in Yorkshire against the pigs Leeds Rotherham Huddersfield and Donny, put a package together that allows them to use the hotel and training ground Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings and charge through the nose for it.

    Nowt wrong with Oakwell, in terms of the stands anyway. I'd like a scoreboard that works and could ideally generate revenue but other than that I think all our financial focus should be on improving the first team/winning football matches.

    Good luck to Northampton/Coventry though.

    I just don't see a hotel at Oakwell being financially viable. The Gateway Plaza stole a march on that idea and I don't think BFC could compete, not while we're in the third division or scraping by at the bottom of the championship.
