First of all let me wish the travelling Hosham fans a safe trip up to South Yorkshire and I think I speak on the behalf of the majority of us that we can only apologise for the idiotic decision to play this FA Cup tie on a Friday Night and we sincerely hope you enjoy the game on what is a very big occasion for your players , management and supporters .
I expect Collins to make changes tomorrow evening but possibly not wholesale , Shepherd , McCarthy , Cosgrove and Watters could possibly feature plus yet another opportunity for the frustrating Benson .
Whatever team Collins puts out should get the job done especially at home although it may be wise to have some bigger guns on the bench .
This is the FA Cup after all and it does happen , let's make sure there are no dramas tomorrow night .

It’s a pity you feel a need to apologise on behalf of the club Animal. I agree with the sentiment it’s a bloody disgrace. Where the hell has Ahmad got to? He’s like Lord Lucan!!
If you have any steel Parekh, sort this Shyte show of communication out.
All the best navigating the storm tomorrow Lardy Boys!

I have just heard an interview live on Radio sheffield with a guy from Horsham & when he was asked about his contact with South Yorks Police he said that they had got back to them and laid the blame for this fiasco at FA"s door , he did not blame our club ,he said that it was down to the Fa .

Question is , why would the FA want us to play on a Friday Night against a non league club 280 miles away when the game isn't even televised anywhere ?Originally Posted by Shadrack the Red

All down to overzealous syp
As per usual
Our taxpayers hard earned money is being well spent as always
They are the wagging the tail on bfc
They always have
Bout time we stopped cow tailing to them
And they just policed games instead of dictating them
An easy target friendly arrest environment for their statistics
Where are they when decent people are getting their homes burgled?
A crime number 3 days later is all you’ll get
These days
Anyway rant over
This is a football forum not political

The FA made the final decision as they always do
The FA act on recommendations and views from various groups, largely in this case from SYP who claimed it would stretch their resources too far for police to be in and around Oakwell on a Saturday. Doncaster didn't want the Doncaster-v-Accrington Cup game moved from Saturday and said so.
What is missing in all this is any apparent public objection/ representation/ statement from Barnsley FC to the FA decision makers so it gave the FA an easy decision to make.
Anyway, back to the football match. It should be a relatively "easy" game for a third tier club to win at home as long as team changes have
not been too severe.
Safe journey round the M25 up the M1 on a Friday afternoon Horsham fans with hopefully not too many traffic issues on the way and a safe journey back to the South Coast through the night.
