Ideal starting XI ?

[SBRed48]

Is my memory failing me or not?

I remember as a kid I tried to learn the ground and knickname of each league team. Ive forgotten a lot of it now and then there are new grounds and teams of course, but my point is this;

Werent we known as The Colliers back in the day and not The Tykes?

If im right, when did this change?

We certainly were Eths.

There used to be a cracking and funny poster on here called Up The Colliers. For whatever reason he went over to the dark side ( BBS) and has turned against this board, often posting negative remarks about Tykes Mad. The peak of coal production between 1900 and 1920 coincided with Barnsley as a major club and Barnsley were known as "The Colliers".
Not sure when it drifted to become "The Tykes" but Thatcher finally killed off the Colliers link

Lol the dark side, hey I think a lot of us have posted on the Bbs as well haven't we.

I don't know if you were around in the days when we had a Mod vote on here SB, but I think Colliers was one who voted for me, and then he went awol.
