But what about the leisure centre?

We got a mention

Any such move would need permission from the EFL board. Fellow Championship club Coventry City, in dispute with landlords Wasps over the Ricoh Arena, are currently playing their matches at Birmingham City's St Andrew's.

Doesn’t sound good does it?

former owners own 50% and council own 50% of the ground. New owners want to buy council share and the talks have broken down so the new owners are looking at moving the matches away from Oakwell.

Just read the Yorkshire post article.

Another reason why the EFL will always approve moves, they're run by the members and it could happen to any of them. Thank fuck we weren't shut down a few years ago like some of our fans wanted.
