    Just been down to put my name down for next Monday night. Mansford and some fellas outside, discussing changes to The Ponte....'knocking that through, have a big glass front' etc etc. Anyhoo, asked him what was going on, but all I got was 'its a surprise, you'll have to wait and see'.....anybody got any inside intel??

    Not heard anything mate. Regarding Mansford though, the bloke seems to be putting a stamp on the club in the right manor. It makes such a refreshing change not to be calling for a club insiders head! Seems to be a top bloke.

    Sounds like new half time entertainment for the ladies, Glass fronted bogs. A foot in the Ponte must be a competition.

    A new reception area instead of an hole in the wall, that you stick your head through like some 3rd division club, or a Don Rowing statue with 4 Liverpool tickets in hand.

    He's copying my idea to build an extension on the back making the club shop, box office and preedys bigger with a grand reception.

    It's all part of the new culture of transparency at Oakwell. Roll with it.

    Its a room where they give you free beer and play Bruce Springsteen continuously.
