According to somebody who lives near Oakwell they have seen Curbs being shown around the facilities. They have text BBC. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/8227622.stm - at about 11.47
What signs do you expect? Smoke form a chimney? A light aircraft pulling a banner?? A message via the heavens, illucidated by clouds and streaming sunbeams??? (reserved only if its curbishley!)
RE: That will have taken the football world by surprise.... That reminds me af a few years back, away at York in the cup. Some York fans talking about one of our players being an academy product. "Barnsley have an academy????" One of them sneered and they laughed. The irony of him taking the mickey whilst using a toilet shared between home and away fans was notable.
Oh Yes!! and get this................ ...........One day the fisrt team will be made up of all its home grown academy players!!! (dancin) (dancin) (dancin) (dancin) (dancin) (dancin) (dancin) (dancin) ..........Apparently.
It's amazing how often someone claims to have seen someone somewhere but never think of taking a picture on their phone to prove what they are saying.
Everyone who seems to mention stories with no foundation must have really old mobile phones then because all modern phones have cameras.
