BARNSLEY FOOTBALL CLUB

Early day motion 29, tabled 20 May 1997 by Eric Illsley (Labour). Signed by 14 members.

That this House congratulates Barnsley Football Club on their automatic promotion to the Premier League for the first time in their history after finishing runners up in the Nationwide League First Division; compliments the Board of Directors, the Manager, the players and all concerned with the club for the style in which promotion was won through good football rather than spending millions; and looks forward to next season when the rest of the Premier League can see that watching Barnsley FC is 'just like watching Brazil'.

Signatures by party: Labour 14.
