    obviously if you were in charge of the club?

    personally i would change the prices on the gates to 12.50 every match for home fans (this season only) then all season ticket holders this season would get a free season ticket next year no matter were we are in the league(any league).

    get better snap at oakwell too, obviously.


    p.s. you can tell i am bored at work lol.

    you reds

    I have £1bn, I am in charge of the club but I wouldn't be able to change the team?! I think I'd change the club I was in charge of!

    Re: My house, my car and my holidaying habits

    I'd probably be sailing around the world on a massive boat, stopping off at the hundred or so places where I have bought villas with my outrageous wealth shuddering at the thought of sitting at Oakwell on a cold Tuesday night trying to warm my hands on a pie that's been reheated for the 18th time.

    If I have to spend it on the club? I'd build some daft massive stadium on top of a skyscraper in the middle of town with 200,000 seats, I'd change the name to something like Barnsley South Yorkshire (never dropping the Barnsley name) and then promote the club in Sheffield, Doncaster and Rotherham...these fans ofcourse won't be interested and we'll be left with a massive white elephant with all of our fans fitting in one small corner of it.
    But hey, at least I tried, I'm now bankrupt as my masterplan cost far more than a billion and it didn't work.

    Re: If you had £1billion and you could not change our team at all, what would you cha

    Ticket Prices :
    CAT A £20 (Juv & OAP £15)
    CAT B £15 (Juv & OAP £10)
    ST Tickets £250 any stand (JUV & OAP) £125

    Ground:
    - Build another Dimensions stand between the East & North with a big screen on the top level, exec boxes below. Hold in the atmosphere and enclose the ground a little.
    - Build a social club in the vast corner between the Ponty and the West with a balcony facing out of the ground towards the house and school, similar set up to Shearers at NUFC. From inside the ground it would look like another Dimensions corner stand, again put a big screen on it so we have two in opposite corners so they can be viewed by everyone.
    - Tiv Preedy Statue in front of the ticket office, similar to the one at Celtic.
    - Change the bulbs of the floodlights so they are no longer yellow and instead white.
    - Sort out the terrible slope in the pitch and the odd sides around the perimeter of the pitch (Huge gap between North and Goals but you can grab the goalies arse sat in the front row of the Ponty) I would also have red tartan around the perimeter instead of sand.
    - Build walls around the bars in the East Stand Lower and make them an indoor pub with carpets, screens and seating. Get rid of the positions of the food kiosks, these would go into the centre of the concourse and be rectangle shaped.
    - Get rid of Lindleys and invite local town centre food shops to sell their produce, splitting the profits with them. Fish & Chips (like Wigan's just opened) Jacket Potato stalls etc.
    - Put windows in the lower concourse of the East Stand.
    - Seating in the corners below the Dimensions style stands to join all the ground together.
    - Replace some of the cladding on the stands thats going yellow with white cladding and paint walls inside Oakwell white, brighten it up a little.
    - I'd see where we got in terms of support and income before altering the West Stand.

    Obviously I've thought about this a lot.

    if you made it £12:50 for home fans , you would have to do the same for the away too.

    I think you have to make the prices comparable. And as for my changes I would change the board completely, install a good scoreboard and re build the west stand.Also fill in the corner of the west and ponty and the corner of the North and east.I would also buy the ground outright, I believe the council have a piece of it now.One other idea would be to put a road in to join up to the Asda roundabout to help with the traffic filtering away on matchdays.

    My pants. I'd get some gold sequined, diamond encrusted little numbers and would wear them on the outside of my trousers just to show off.
    Then I would shut BFC down and turn Oakwell into a go-kart track.:)

    I'd let everyone in for nowt, all season, but if they didn't then reciprocate by buying a season ticket the year after I'd have them shot and bodies disposed of. A billion gets you a lot of access to Brick Top's pigs.

    Id buy Sheffield Wednesday

    burn the stadium down and wind the club up with immediate effect. Then I'd write to all former Sheffield Wednesday season ticket holders with just a simple 4 word note stating: "Big Club My Arse."

    I'd have a giant cheesecake for me and the hookers to dive into.

    Then I'd lick 'em out.

    i'd build a special bbs members only enclosure and soft pad it wall to wall with padded seats too.............to stop them hurting themselves. Maybe a 'we love keefy' enclosure and a 'we hate keefy' one too.
