A lady that lives across the road goes to the same hairdressers as the auntie of a lady who cleans the boardroom and offices at Oakwell. She relates that provisional plans have been set up to deal with the consequences of relegation to League Two: • ‘Early Bird’ offer for season tickets to be launched this Christmas. Half price for those renewing before 1st January 2016. Price increase of 15% for anyone renewing after 1st May 2016. • Hourihane, Scowen and Mawson designated ‘saleable assets’. Potential recruits from the Conference to be identified in the New Year and added to the development squad. • Following successful experiments with the League Cup/Johnstone's Trophy games, home supporters to occupy the East Stand only (upper and lower) for season 2016-17, with savings on stewards and other matchday staff. This will “increase the volume of support for our players”. • A new supplier of pies to be appointed in order to improve the ‘matchday experience’. • A new ‘retro’ scoreboard to be constructed along the lines of the one that used to occupy the old spion cop. This will be manually operated by volunteers to be recruited from the BFCST. • An option to purchase land in the Dearne Valley to be obtained in order to fully secure the future of the club. • Talks to be set up to discuss the possibility of a merger with Shaw Lane Aquaforce at an as yet, unidentified future date. It is anticipated by the Board that these steps will reassure loyal fans that it has the club’s best interests at heart.
If this is true then the niece of the lady who goes to the same hairdresser as the lady that lives across the road from you and who cleans the boardroom and offices at Oakwell will most probably be out of work next week for opening her gob.
Re. the East Stand, am I right in thinking it means this is for league games, so the Ponty end would be empty, or is this just for cup games?
My Grandad's offspring's brother's son.... Hang on that's me. Club will remove bottle tops and recycle if we go to L2, saving 56p a year
An interesting analogy Mr O What's the odds that some of these points indeed become fact ? The early bird one certainly got my attention. They can stick it where the sun dunt shine when it arrives
