| Quote Chorlton RL="Chorlton RL"It'll be a better venue than Wheldon Road. So, we have that box ticked when applications come.
As for crowds and that, its difficult to say. There are so many more variables that could affect who turns up. Some fans won't want to travel, some fans will do it anyway, some folk might go because they never liked Belle Vue. It depends which division we're in and how well the team do this year and next. Also, there's a question mark over how many folk from Barnsley will turn up.
The main thing for the board to get right is marketing. If we're going to Oakwell it needs to be marketed to death, something I wasn't confident about with the old board, but hopefully this time around things will be different.'"
Its OK we'll just move to Elland Road, afterall it is in Cas  |

I seem to remember that Mr Glover said in one of his interviews that we will be moving to Oakwell as a tempory measure.

Oakwell would be a stop gap between moving into Newmarket. In general, it's been accepted that to regain a franchise we would need to move to Oakwell, and fans are supportive of the move. In terms of attendances, well that's guess work.
But with the right people marketing the club i'd suggest most fans will follow the club there in the 1 or 2 seasons were based there along with an increase in away fans who attribute the reason for not attending due to the stadium.

Would certainly show us how many were using that as a genuine reason. I would guess that most use it as a mere excuse, just to stay away. |

Oakwell is a cracking stadium (bar the west stand which is seriously outdated) and would be a good "rental" home, and as said before it may get interest from local residents who thenn get bit by the bug and keep watching when we move to a new home.
truth is it is a short term solution to a huge problem and i for one think it is a good one

would the crowds be enough to offset the rent/stadium costs. though? as wasn't that the problem before,after all I'm sure Mr Glover Doesn't want to be funding shortfalls from his own pockets does he,he wants the business to be sustainable.

Good question, i'd give Glover time. He did mention that there was an agreement in place which just needed a little bit of work. He hasn't got to where he is in life by making reckless decisions. I'm sure that being sustainable in the long term is at the forefront of his thought and if that can be acheived at Oakwell then all the better |
