    Barnsley aside that's the kinda thing i'd want to do. Much more rewarding than simply buying an already successful club. I'd probably pick trying to get AFC Emley into the football league. Disapointing watching them lose home to Stalybridge in front of thousands thus missing out on conference football and never recovering with the biggest ever points total to not be promoted.

    Balls to that, with that much wonga l'd buy my own island like Branson, and fill it with birds like Hefner's pad. I'd make sure l wouldn't try and burn it though whilst my grandma's still on it.

    Yeah they were. We had a teatime game home on Sky same day forget who against so had to leave with about 20 minutes to go. Think there were 4,000 there but half must have been Stalybridge fans.

    EDIT: Found a match report......

    http://www.stalybridgeceltic.co.uk/Reports/Historic/Away/MainPaneReportemley280401.htm

    We lost that day home to Bolton......

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000–01_Barnsley_F.C._season

    Think that's the only time i've watched two live football matches the same day and seen the team I want to win go and lose.

    Maybe if we edit our wikipedia page to give Barnsley lots of Mexican history he'll buy us and give us a cheaky £100m kitty?
