    What Gally said.

    Khaled has said in the past the club are happy to sign a new lease for 100 years, but the terms need to be right and it needs to be a genuine partnership. We've had a bit of ownership turmoil recently, but to supporters it has felt anything but a partnership between club and council.

    Oakwell can, and should, be an extension of the town centre map and all the great development of the last three years. Makes sense given he Metrodome is next door. Agreements like that take time and aren't as simple as some people like to make out.

    With the lease nearly being up the club hold all the aces here for once. The last thing the council need is a ground they can't sell or use for anything. I presume the covenant applies to them too?

    The club has leverage here.

    It’s a time like this we realise the North Stand is safe if segregated, having heard for years it’s not capable in part because East side turnstiles need modernisation. If we also see fans in West stand north side it’ll also rebuff other issues with entry we hear a lot.

    Probably not, the logistics in getting a specialist contractor in with all the right equipment to carry out the work at short notice will be.

    Doubt we will need the north of the West stand. Assuming we can put at least 2000 in the North Stand maybe more we should be fine with the spare capacity in the Ponty and South side of the West

    Minus 6 degrees tonight. Will it be called off? I don't think the undersoil heating can be used on the same day as the match.

    How? Where will we play? Conway looked at all other possible grounds in the North didn't he!? Although mk dons don't anywhere near fill their stadium so maybe we could share with them?

    Doesn't drop much below freezing until after midnight.
    Doubt there'll be a problem.

    2500 in North Stand, 1000 in Ponty and another 1000 in West Stand.
    That will more than cover it as I think many will take a refund and watch on ifollow.
    8k home fans tops tonight which is a shame when things had started to look up a bit.

    I meant to club could use the situation in maintenance negotiations. Get the council to put their hands in their pockets too.

    He did , but what he didn't say was he was stood atop a very tall building on a flat earth looking through the James Webb Space Telescope.

    We only have leverage in the way the sheriff does in Blazing Saddles. The council would have a ground yes but we wouldn’t have a football club as we would have nowhere to play. Unless we find 25 -30 million to build a new stadium which seems a tad unlikely

    One of the things people haven’t factored in either is, what if they had found a contractor who agreed to come and do the works at such notice and then they either failed to turn up or the weather had stopped them doing the work today.
    The fall out would have been much bigger if it was literally being announced today/tonight.

    I'm pretty sure we'll see significant investment in the ground come along with a new lease agreement. How much and what for will be part of the discussion.
