    Had I heard that rumour with all the other boards of the club whilst I've been a fan, I'd have thought it was just pathetic gossip. With the current regime, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.

    Theres just one issue it's in Rotherham and they already have a football team and our club is Called Barnsley FC and it has a ground in Barnsley that nobody is preventing it using and that should be the end of the conversation as far as where our club plays it's home games.

    Largely because Rotherham United didn't choose to close half their access points to create an emergency rendezvous point like our owners did. Something that has never been explained properly or justified

    Well and the chaos that has been caused since Jumboe Lane crossing was closed. I'm shocked we haven't had a serious injury down by the bus station entrance yet

    Rotherham weren't too keen on the idea when Conway suggested it during lockdown were they?

    Do we even know it was Rotherham they were talking to?

    In fact do we know the board was 100% talking to anyone really, or was it just more bizarre smoke and mirrors?

    Tbf no we don't but Rotherham fans thought we were. We do know for definite that they were looking to share cos Conway himself said it.

    On the general subject if we did move away from Oakwell due to a fall out over the stadium I can't see many of our fans making the journey to another town to watch us.
