Barnsley will be a Championship club next season after Wigan Athletic’s appeal against their 12-point deduction was not successful.The Latics were docked points for going into administration, which meant they finished below the fourth-bottom Oakwell club.Had the independent disciplinary commission, which heard the case on Friday, found in Wigan’s favour, Barnsley would have been relegated to League One. A Reds’ representative was able to present evidence at the hearing. Barnsley can now continue to plan for the Championship season which is due to begin on September 12.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
