[Lord Snooty]

STATEMENT: Following recent media reports about Barnsley Football Club, Cllr Sir Steve Houghton CBE, Leader of Barnsley Council, said: "We're shocked and dismayed at the comments regarding the potential relocation of Barnsley Football Club.

“Relationships between the council and Barnsley Football Club have always been excellent. There are no disputes between the club and the council. The council has not declined to transfer the land as there have been no negations between the two parties on this matter.

"For the last 133 years, Barnsley Football Club has been a significant part of our borough, and we'll do all we can to make sure professional football is maintained in Barnsley.”

Muck raking Daily Mail shite. Should've known better, shouldn't I.
