They'll never experience or feel real passion about a football club and just will never 'get it' no matter how many times they go to these big stadiums.
This is why it's hurting us. We are a realistic bunch, we know we have to sell, we always have had, nowts changed theear. We ain't asking for daft money to be spent either but the principles of this plan are purely for short term financial gain and its killing us on the pitch. The best interests of matters on the pitch long term are being forfeited. Most fans accept our financial constraints and the youth scouting policy seems to be a good way forward because it keeps the club financially in the black, it just needs reassessing and a tweak for a chance of it being successful at championship level.
Unfortunately the businessmen are not willing to meet the fans halfway which is creating ill feeling. I don't think many Barnsley fans who choose not to attend oakwell will be rushing off to support a club with more ambition.
