Cheap shot WHF, Unlike you I call it what it is but you don't have the guts to say it, I have supported Barnsley Football Club for more years than you were born, and actually, in 1970 I signed on for this great club in 1970 as an amateur and have put on the red shirt of Barnsley Football Club and played at venues such as Blundle Park, Bloomfield Road and The Shay to name but 3 not in the 1st team of course but in the intermediates so don't come telling me I'm taking a cheap shot. I'll be at Oakwell when we play Bolton and not at some S*** oil like Sheffield or Wakefield whatching them throw a egg around the field.
Your post appears to suggest that playing for the club somehow makes you more involved with the club than the fans, and consequently attempts to denigrate fans who aren't interested in Friday night's match. At the end of the day, the fans can do as they please and will vote with their feet, as many appear to be doing, some of whom are long term fans. Yes, I'd call it a cheap shot on your part Colliers.
The really sad part is that if we were to win the first leg say 4-0 it still wouldn't make any difference to me .
I think I'm at the end of this lifetime relationship with this club now , I found something else which I'm enjoying immensely .
I honestly believe that's it , there's nothing left .
Sad to hear Animal. Thaz watched this club for over 50 years (educated guess), cared passionately about it, followed it up and darn the country through thick and thin. I'll always remember your story of how our run to the FA cup semis played a major part towards your recovery from mental health. That's priceless. The tragedy is that you feel that it's gone from you and I understand and relate to what you're saying.
The people running this circus just don't get it and never will.
The flame inside me will always burn Red but with the clubs current ethos, well I just can't relate to them like I used to and the flame inside me just feels like its on its way out unfortunately.
I went to Burton with our kid the other week, gorruz match tickets, went darn on train. However, we ended up stopping in the boozer rather than go to the match. He wanted to go but I just didn't feel the urge. I wasn't interested and am just not feeling it like I used to. If you'd have said that to me 20 years ago I'd have been horrified by such a thought. This is the way its gone though. My love for the game is waning. The way this club is being run is not with the same moral ethics, principles and ambitions that I loved years ago under John Dennis' tenure. It's feckin miles away. Arseoyles.
Looks like we’re only getting the minimum allocation again for the first leg at yours which surely is a bit silly if your owners are business people. Why have empty seats when we have supporters who wish to buy them? What it has done is meant we’ve reciprocated by giving you a small amount too for the home leg so only seats in the upper tier of the South Stand (Away stand) whilst we’ll issue seats to our own as we did for the Portsmouth game, which proved really successful crowd wise. I can’t understand your apathy personally, the season starts now, forget what’s gone before, get behind your team and give them the support they need. We’re even more hacked off than you literally throwing away our automatic chances so badly over the final months but we’re well up for it.
The ticket allocation may have something to do with the last season when Bolton reduced our allocation and charged our fans top dollar but it doesn"t matter as you are at home the second leg and more of your fans will be able to enjoy the occasion , but please do not come on here with patronising comments just enjoy the fact that you will never get a better time to play us .
