    Sad to see towd Dev being pulled down.

    Used to be the last boozer I went in before a match.
    Especially when it went to a real ale boozer.
    There is a real business opportunity for a proper real ale boozer outside of the interchange.
    A sort of No. 7 but but with a bigger and better decor.

    That’s one of the beautiful things about Barnsley - people just strike up a conversation.
    Where else does that happen like it does in Barnsley???

    I often go in to town Friday dinner time ish and buy a Chronicle and sit in a cafe and read it.
    It’s rare if I don’t have a conversation with a complete stranger.
    Today wasn’t a complete stranger - a guy who also sits in the lower west stand - didn’t know him - but he’d seen me in there.
    Sat int cafe having a cuppa and a chat about last season and this one coming up.

    Same happens when I go into Tarn at night.
    People just talk in Barnsley.
    It’s great.

    For more years than I care to remember after every home game we'd head to that cafe on Kendray Street and have pie , chips n peas .

    At 5.30pm we'd head for The Dev and have a pint or two whilst we waited for the Green Un to hit the news-stand outside the bus station .

    Back in the Dev for a couple more whilst we caught up with the days football results .

    Usual Headlines would be

    OWLS OUTCLASSED

    BLADES BATTERED

    Reds , Millers , Spirites win .

    We'd head in to the usual tarn boozers about 8 for our Saturday night .

    South Yorkshireman , N0.7 , White Hart , Chennels , Corner Pin , Rose n Thistle and Shakespeare .

    Not a care in the world and still change out of £15 , match , snap and beer plus fags .

    Sad to see the Dev become rubble but the memories never die .

    Just read ont sister site ……. new real ale boozer opening soon - in what used to be MC Mills place up Lower Castlereagh Street.

    That’s big big news as far as I’m concerned - at long last it seems wi gunner get a reight boozer.

    Outside of building looks like an owd garage - but who cares as long as it’s ok inside and they have some good stuff on tap.
    Going to have a walk up theer tomorrow before the game to see how it’s developing.
