    If that’s true couldn’t he just have asked to take a step down at Oakwell and let Vikki Stevens take the senior role? Seems logical to me.

    Maybe. Maybe not. At that point we're just playing guessing games really.

    Life and work is very rarely as simple on the inside as it looks to those on the outside.

    This elevates ‘ ******** Ben’ to new heights! Didn’t Seg leave the club ‘he loved and supported’? Could have requested agile working if there were personal motives!

    Just had a quick look at their staff. There is a "head of medical" which he looks to sit under as a senior physio, with a further senior physio there plus two soft tissue therapists.

    We have 3 members of staff (Vikki, another physio and a massage therapist) by looks of it compared to their structure of 5.

    Exactly this. I wouldn't go in to the club shop and buy something for £50 with fifty pound coins. But if I want a £2 drink in the concourse you should expect to be able to get one without faffing with a card. We are moving towards a much more cashless/surveillance society wanting to know everything we buy and hiding behind covid when WHO themselves have said cash handling is safe. I feel for the reported eight million in the UK who don't have a bank card and will get forgotten about or have it forced on them even if they don't want it.

    I get how some people don't have it but honestly sticking your phone or bank card over a terminal is much easier than remembering to have a few quid in your pocket and waiting for your change to come back and checking it, can't see how that is faffing.

    I suspect that there’s not really anything that he could’ve said that would’ve been met with any positivity on here.

    FWIW, my take on the west stand, based on those tweets and various press releases from the different parties hasn’t really changed. My take is still that the club want the stand rebuilt, but the stadium owners are expecting the club to maintain it in a Triggers broom fashion (“you don’t need a new stand, just need new walls, new floors and new seats”).

    It’s disappointing that there doesn’t seem to be any commitment to getting the west stand reopened, or any suggestion of publishing the report that led to the closure. Whether closing the West stand directly led to the extra stewards for away fans or not, the upshot is still that there has been an increase in seats available to away fans, and a decrease in seats available to home fans.

    When my mate left her husband, she used to get a tenner cashback when she did food shopping, or withdraw £20 ‘to buy dinner at work’ (but really kept cups a soups etc. in her locker) etc. so she had cash saved up from non suspicious activity to fund things for moving out. If she’d had to buy stuff on card she wouldn’t have been able to keep it secret.

    They'll always be unique circumstances where cash is better for some, but the vast majority of people have moved to cashless.

    We went to a few food and music festival day things over summer. One was at Castle Howard and it was this wood fired pizza place... i went to it because it had no queues and all the other vans were busy- was cash only. Similar thing happened with some cinammon donut thing at Leeds food fest- no customers because card machine had gone down. Nobody was interested if no card option basically. Things have changed very quickly.

    The certificate is actually available online by visiting https://www.barnsley.gov.uk/services/planning-and-buildings/sports-ground-safety/ and then clicking the Public register (as below). I haven't read this yet, or even looked at it, but the council did e-mail us earlier to point us in its direction.

    We'll include this in our update to members on tonight's engagement forum.

    Good thinking by her. Going cashless will see a rise in domestic abuse. Women who will have a controlling man who only lets them have stuff when they allow it because the person being abused will no longer be able to carry cash as people don't accept it.

    I may be wrong Ben but the certificate is basically an agreement of the responsibilities for Oakwell etc... it isn't a safety inspection report that I think a lot of people would like to see if that makes sense?

    If he said there's no fear of relegation then he's an idiot or arrogant beyond belief or both and he needs to be shown the door with Schopp.

    These read more of contractual obligations than an actual report?

    This section gives the capacities of each stand but then says: these factors are to be determined by assessment by the holder I.e. the CEO.
    As I mentioned previously and was alluded to in the interview highlights from today...
    A risk assessment has been carried out and the CEO has determined it is unsafe to open the West Stand due to fire breaches.

    Probably. Was quick on the reply as saw it was relevant - hence the disclaimer that I hadn't clicked it myself.

    I've just got back from two days in Aberdeen so don't expect much sense out of me.

    I would be surprised if it is publicly available. If something is detailing potential structural vulnerabilities for example, maybe that presents a risk from a security perspective if it is out in the public domain? Looking at it from a counter terrorism perspective etc.

    I might be reading too much into it.

    That’s why it shouldn’t be one or the other.
