    Would you make a few small changes? Big changes? Would Don stay or go?

    If I got 5 numbers, I'd get rid of the lot of 'em!

    I would seriously think about getting John Dennis back and Spinks

    but TBH my first priority assuming the lottery win was a truly mega win...I would look to meeting Barnsley council to try and get full ownership of Oakwell its facilities and car parks, I would then look into some kinda covenant that would keep it safe from people who wanted to buy it as a development property...I think we all have an idea what I mean. Then I would look to getting the west stand replaced, and filling in the corner between the west and the Ponty. Apply for a car park on that waste land between the ground and Halfords...with an access road there . Use that maybe for away fans. Then I would have a massive Bronze statue commissioned of me and my arse on the town hall steps.... perfick

    May the good Lord protect us from people who win the lottery and think it makes them capable of running a football club, a sizeable business that employs many people.

    Are you and your Arse distinguishable from each other or will it resemble twins

    If I bought the club there would be a one man board. A benevolent dictator if you will.

    If I won the lottery I'd demolish the ground and move us into the don valley, just so I can rename it don's valley and he can feel important. :)

    Supertyke, you are having The Dons role and you will be known as Ron Dowing.

    You'll be paraded down Grove Street daily for local Neanderthals to hurl unfounded and ill thought out comments at you from behind lamp posts and doggy bag bins.

    If I won the lottery there is no way I would spend it on Barnsley FC I m afraid. If I spent £40 million on it there would always be one moaning ******* complaining that I han't spend £41 million. Too many people that you just can't please.
