    So, the Senior family can buy the land back anytime then, as we've decided not to play football this season on Oakwell.....

    Again, and without prejudice, my understanding is that the issue is not what the covenant (?) says, but rather whether a female line can enforce it.

    How did Peter Doyle raise £3m against a piece of land that is basically leased to the club , doesn’t make sense because if true it’s currently worth sod all commercially .

    Well if the restriction specifically names Mr Senior and not Mrs Senior then that will be the fly in the ointment.

    If Mr is dead and Mrs has survived him then she'll be the "female" in question, I would assume.

    I doubt that Mrs senior is still alive, the covenant is from 113 years ago

    Think you can sell bits of it so long as we still play the games there. In fact, we have.

    It might say "male heirs and assigns", which I've seen on dozens of docs.

    That might be the problem. Given the wife wants the same rights as me.

    The males are dead and gone, apparently. But the females, as we know, go on for ever.

    But the subject of the covenant is obviously relevant, as otherwise nobody would give a toss who can or can't enforce it.

    Well again I'm flying by the seat of my pants and purely from the utterances of others, it seems that the covenant itself is irrelevant if nobody is alive to enforce it. Which an old female apparently is.

    Can't see what the problem is, as long as football/sport is continued to be played at oakwell. Why would the owners of a football club want anything else........ Anyone would think these people just want to make money and the football, fans and town are just of secondary importance.

    In the 70s it was well known that coop ground that the academy now stands on was to be used for sport and the day sport ceased to be played on it then it had to be returned to the family who owned the land .....that said when Patrick split the footballing side and the ground into 2 different companies the following day I do believe some one took out mineral rights on the land ( see previous threads for details..) running from the halfway line to a point somewhere between the North and East stand

    If this is what the whole covenant thing is about, then I'm afraid it's the most damning evidence yet of Pacific Media Group's incompetence that info on the covenant was available all along in the Chronicle book shop.

    The extract quoted from John Dennis just said grandchildren. I suppose he'd have been the age of my great grandparents when the covenant was drawn up so I'm thinking that must take us to about 50 years from now until its null and void?

    Probably not... in fact he obviously isn't. We haven't even got one.

    I try and chuck a Hamlet quote in when I'm pissed.

    And an old goat now. You'll need to observe closely from now on.

    If that's what it#s all about then that is interesting, and would make sense.
