It might be a record for the selling team. How much would Retford United's record sale be, for example?

It was my mistake sorry.
I was having lunch in a pub at the time and over heard from a group round the tv

I must have been desperately looking for a break through in a signing and wrongly posted us it was Barnsley they where on about
I was pulled up by posters that took the p1ss out of me after hastley posting
But nice of you to bring it up like no one should make a mistake much obliged UTC

I read the Barnsley owners combined wealth is £9.1bn and ours is £80m.

I wouldn't be averse to Barnsley making a few bids on our behalf :D

Wise owners are rather modest when it comes to talking about their wealth.
