    Are there any potential new stadium sites around Barnsley? We could ground share with Rotherham.

    What about the old Rotherham ground (Millmoor)? Don't think anyone is using it now. Could even go to Tivoli after the end of the match for a 10p pint...

    There's a big space on Grove Street. Not sure what's there now, i've heard the bogs to the west of the property are rubbish.

    Whilst there are no fans allowed they could play at Houghton Main. Be a tenth of the rent.

    Probably still have my boxers jammed in them after my accident against Burnley in 2013.

    I thought the FA/EFL had tightened up the rules on clubs moving towns/cities after the Wimbledon/MK Dons fiasco? I remember someone hight up saying it would never happen again...

    Find a town that doesn't already have a club that they could move us to.

    Lol. Rugby town. If it wasn't they'd already have a football club of a decent size. You'd effectively be moving the club 14 miles away, building a new ground and getting much smaller crowds.

    Absolute "tip" Scoff. Remember parking up round the back at the direction of the local
    Constabulary and having to walk through a jungle of scrap metal to get to the turnstile.
    It was around Christmas during the reign of Steve Parkin when we drew 1-1.

    There's nowhere to park and if I remember correctly, the pitch sloped down at one corner.
    Honestly don't think I would attend if we ever moved there.

    We're a city not a town. There's plenty of reasons a football club hasn't worked in Wakefield, and plenty of reasons why it could and should.

    We're not moving from Barnsley anyway. It's a non-starter.

    What about that big plot of land next to M1 Denby Dale rd that Yorkshire cricket were going to move to a few years ago.
    We could then rename us Denby Dale Pie United.:D:D

    I know. It would cost a fortune to get it up to anything like league standard, and it was a dump when it was open :)
