What if some Multi Millionaire was to

Invest in Barnsley Football Club, I mean proper money, and

Buy the land off PC & Council
Buy the Football Club.
Spend a fortune in buying the right sort of players to get promotion
Develop the ground in stages, as success came
Get into and stay in the Premiership and Europe. Remember money buys success

Would this success fill a 40 thousand seater stadium in ‘Barnsley’ if this situation was permanent like the Boltons, Wigans and Fulhams. If so then the return on such an investment would be good.

 

yer wake up now

 

Dangerous to dream like that.

Wouldn't complain if it came true.

 

no,if Barnsley had its own catchment area of say 40 miles to the nearest other Football club then you might have a chance,just look at Blackburn ticked all your boxes won the fecking prem,lucky if they get 30k once a season thats when man u send 8k supporters.

 

My general question was with all the very highest success would there be another 35,000 more like us go to Oakwell on match days.

 

Would depend on prices.

Lots of people already stay away because of the cost.

 

Anyone know a bored millionaire?

'cos if not there's not much point talking about that ff

 

I'd be happy with that.

Although I think we could do better. We've had thirty-five thousand in the ground before now for cup games (pre all-seater obviously). When Rotherham and Donny go back down the toilet you'd pick up fans from them as well.

 

Doh that ended up in the wrong place...

 

We could get 30,000 of our own fans into Oakwell, I reckon.

That is IF we were at the top end of the Premiership, and IF we didn't sell our best players.

They'd not be 'real fans,' though. As soon as the wins dried up, they'd be off like a shot. That said, their money is as good as anyone else's.

 

What happened there then? It moved to the right place!
