Roma,
mi mother reckons shi's posh, and can cruise round the med, Russia, Carribean and all ovver... ( she wa Wombwell/Elsecar bred ...) talks lovely Queens English until She meets fowk that Are frum Barnsley and then she slips up . !!
Or when she mixes wi fowk frum tarn for a week on holiday.
She's never been to a match, ever !
But she's fight anyone ( and she's 75 ) who slagged Barnsley off as a town and Club
She moved to Denby dale as a kid and married a Huddersfield man (who became a Red). My great grandfather was a preacher at Elsecar church and baptised men down the mine.
She spent 4 or 5 years as a kid in Barnsley till she moved to D Dale with her mum and 3 sisters after my grandad died...
Father's Day we took mi dad to Oakwell for the lunch and she was so proud, and emotional.... I thought it was for him... but I think it was her who got the most out of it!
She was SO proud of the stadium, couldnt believe that the food, view,and facilities, were so good. We drive past the new Market and the new car parks and the top of town and she was agog at the transformation
She was so proud .
My point?
Sometimes we complain and moan, and have expectations about our town and club, that we perhaps have already exceeded.....
in our lifetime ( I'm 54) how far has this club/Town come? ( not just league position) but as a social/commercial/business. It's easy to be greedy.
She made me realise what Pride is...
Its always. It's wanting to see it getting better. ....
she said on the way home that "it's about time that things improved round here, and it looks like it is doing....., people have a poor impression of what this place is about... it looks like it's on the way up, there's no finer people"
There's NOWT wrong wi pride in the Town, the language we talk, write and the place we live in and Support.
She showed pride to me that day that I hope I never lose...
