We had speculated about this happening on another thread, but it has now been confirmed. Shaw Lane withdraw from adult football next season. So much for a hobby club...

Beat you by a few seconds! I've deleted my thread.
Didn't want to fuel the quite frankly weird obsession that some fans seem to have with Shaw Lane, but there you go.
-
Yes, I thought I saw the other thread for a moment before it disappeared!
I wouldn't call it weird, but maybe I am obsessed as it, but these well funded but transitory clubs (see, for example, Colne Dynamoes in the past, or, maybe, Hashtag United next) do have an effect on the results and finances of the more traditional clubs.

We didn't cover ourselves in glory after full-time at their place. I'll never understand why people hated them so deeply last season.

But obviously we were right when we sang "Nobody cares...."

This is sad but probably inevitable.
What this demonstrates is that wealthy people will invest in their own projects where they have a local connection (in this case Barnsley).
What hasnt happended yet at Alty is for this to happen at Alty. Historically it wasnt encouraged after the bad experience of Maunders,.....
However, lately, despite clear attempts to find investor(s) nobody seems to have come forward,.. I remain convinced this is exactly because there is so much competition in the NW and so many other options to invest in.

Probably reform as AFC Barnsley in the NCEL

I heard the cook ran away with all the clubs proceeds.

What are these clear attempts?
I haven't seen any public attempt, it would be nice to see adverts, media engagement etc.

Alty are not shaw lane though. I don’t really understand how you can draw conclusions from the obviously doomed ego trip that was Shaw Lane. All successful football chairmen have drive, ambition, charisma and vision. The Shaw Lane chairman/owner did well to get them where they ended up but alas here they are or rather were.

Thank God for well run clubs like ours, we may criticise our board and blame them from time to time but at least they are not likely to make statements like that. As for the animosity clubs with large financial backing attract this especially from traditional clubs. I remember Rushden & Diamonds coming in for similar attention, jealousy not from me because as we have seen again is that it all ends in tears

Shaw lane were not a badly run club. They were run very well. However with no existing fan base and little interest in a new non-league club in that area it would always be an unsustainable venture.

John maunders came out with a very similar statement...
Typical of an agomaniac to simply shut it down rather than make arrangements to leave the club where it started for the fans..
