[Official Site] CLUB STATEMENT: RESPONSE TO BARNSLEY COUNCIL

I've done exactly that on a site before. Changed the email address associated with the account, set the password to a load of random letters and it was job done.

 

"Click here if you've forgot your password".

 

And they'd send an email link to a non existent email address.

Edit to add I don't wish you to leave at all, I was just answering the question

 

.

 

Maybe they think that sfter selling 10000 + season tickets they have a monopoly on what Barnsley fans do on a match day; forgetting thst we are customers who can do other things beside going to Oakwell on a regular basis. I wouldn't go and watch another team, but I would do other things on match days as the last season and a bit has shown.

 

You could just as easily set up a new account if you were that determined couldn't you?

 

I think at the time the BBS wasn't accepting new members (it isn't now either, by the looks of it), so it just seemed the easiest option; one PM to Gally and I was gone, no messing around with passwords and changing email addresses.

Anyway, I'm not going anywhere, but I'll be a bit more low-key regarding off the field threads though, that's for sure! Rocking the good ship BBS isn't my intention

 

I know I'm being a bit thick but isn't your old account still there? Unless you're not who I assumed you are of course

 

It is, it's still there for all to see, but I can't get into it even with the forgotten password option (I'm assuming admin just removed the ability to log into the account) which is why I set up a new account when the chance to create one became available earlier this year. No shenanigans, I deliberately chose a similar username so people know who I am and in all honesty, I didn't think admin would approve my account!

 

Why not just start a new thread entitled "Gally is a ******* ****"?

That should be sufficient to permanently block access to your account.

 

But councils must carry out their own safety inspections on a whole myriad of structures they own - surely its a common thing?

 

Just to clear a point here. I'm Old Gimmer and I'm not the poster referred to!.

 

Apologies Mr Old Gimmer. I think I am going out of my mind.

 

You are not on your own

 

It's not a long journey for me either

 

The extract posted on here suggests that the structural elements need to be kept in "sound order" which is likely more onerous than just "not unsafe".

Also we haven't seen the repair obligations relating to non structural elements so it can't be said that they only have to return it in the state it was leased. For example if the lease says the club must keep it in good repair that includes an obligation to put it in good repair even if they received it in a **** state. Covenants to keep in repair/good order are enforceable at any point throughout the term, they don't just bite at the end.

 

Yes you are probably right. I am just going with the Council advising improvements not instructing them.
