Chuffin hell you'd be hard pressed to find a more eventful year in the club's history .
I certainly haven't witnessed a more dramatic one in my 50 years .
It started with a 1-0 win at Forest which put us in 7th place and a point outside the play offs , it was never to get that good again on the field .
At times I was wondering what the hell was going on down there as players left the club rapidly , never seen anything like it .
Connor's free kick against Dirty Leeds in a 3-2 win seemed to mark the end of an era , nice way to sign off though .
Winnall did one to Wendy with a hint of a helping hand from the new CEO Linton Brown , he kept his job for about 24 hours after that .
No CEO and his team disappearing to other club's left Hecky feeling a bit flaky .
The last friendly before the new season had Hecky telling the media we were crap after a 4-0 defeat to the Millers and his new team weren't good enough , marvelous .
We had another trip to Wembley , narrowly losing to Spurs .
We didn't lose at Hillsborough .
The best was saved till last when we were bought by a consortium of foreign billionaires .
And that lot isn't even the half of it in 2017 .
Hopes for 2018
Ponty steve completes 90 minutes at Oakwell .
SB writes a positive post about the new ownership .
Hecky signs a new contract .
We aren't relegated .
We have a good FA cup run .
Every club in the championship hates us , it means we are doing something right .
Happy New Year
Its the chinese year of the Dog , that could be taken many ways !!!
