    Was there a Friends Of Conway & Khaled Ahmad Meeting on Monday Neet ?

    We were informed that the correct and effective way of bringing change at Oakwell was to talk to key figures at these Supporters Trust Meetings rather than follow any kind of protest.

    Conway ( aka "The Arseoyle") couldn't find a hole in his diary to attend the meeting proposed for the 18th of April but was able to attend Bramall Lane the day after so we were left with Ahmad last Monday neet,

    Bugger all of any interest was said by Ahmad but he did buy them a drink--expenses? The Supporters Trust bloke Loko has said these meetings should be regarded more of a conversation than anything else.

    In the meantime AS Nancy fans have been protesting against the Conway/Lee Group and it led to Mister Lee having to agree to face fans.

    Conway (The Arseoyle ) and Ahmad are taking the p1ss at Oakwell in the way they treat fans.

    But there are a proportion of fans, supporters trust and others who gullibly take it all in and find it acceptable. You would think a supporters trust was there to represent all views of the fans, not just their own.

    As it stands Im sad to think I will never get to Oakwell again.

    The Supporters Trust just add to my feelings of total disillusionment and frustration to tell the truth .

    By definition it's supposed to be the organised voice of the fans and come to life when we have seasons like we are having and hold the club accountable .

    Event if they were to ignore events on the field this season in a we've been relegated from the championship before kind of way the club's current financial position and clear evidence of at least a 40% reduction in ST sales next season should have them hammering at the club's door until they receive answers .

    I've lost count of the number of times the club dire financially position has been pointed out to the Two Ronnies on bbs who are on the Supporters Trust and the number of times they put their fingers in their lug holes and sing " la la la " .

    Now it may well be they don't have either the skill set or the motivation to be effective in the situation we currently find ourselves and something I can accept but to ridicule and smear the Protest Group who were willing to do the hard yards completely and utterly destroys any credibility they had in my opinion .

    Nothing more that can be done other than keep our money in our pockets .

    The chips fall where they fall .

    One of the telling things for me is that it's pretty common knowledge we have a number of troublesome fans who have caused a good number of issues this season .

    So much so over 20 banning orders were issued by the club following the FA cup tie at Huddersfield in January and problems I witnessed with my own eyes .

    Even recently a flare was thrown in to the family section at Bramall Lane by our fans during the game .

    The backlash to that was nothing in comparison to the smearing , abuse and ridiculing of Luke Goddard and the Protest Group .

    The only conclusion I can come to is that the Protest Group parked their tanks on the Supporters Trust front lawn and they didn't much care for it even if it's detrimental to the position they are supposed to uphold .

    I know Gally - and he let me down big time.
    Consequently my views on Gally and his Admin mate Loko are that they are two fairy cakes of the middle classes.
    They very much represent the left wing geography teachers that make up a large proportion of the BBS.
    The woolly Corbynistas of this world.

    This is Barnsley.
    It’s a tough ex-mining town that is very conservative with a small ‘c’.
    We are a very welcoming society - but if wronged - then we say it as we see it.

    Loko and especially Gally are totally the wrong individuals to be asking questions on behalf of the supporters.
    If I was Paul Conway I’d be clapping my hands at the prospect of these two putting me on the spot.

    Just been and had a look at what the BBS is saying about this meeting.
    Nowt.

    But came across the Rwanda topic.
    Posters on there speedily back peddling because they said something that might be perceived as supporting that policy.

    As said - the woolly Corbynistas of this world that are absolutely down beating any alternative views.

    The Conway Out campaign hasn’t a chance on that message board.
    Because it’s mostly made up of sheep.

    That is an unfortunate situation Ethel, and I feel disappointed for all of our fans who have been forced into making a big decision like that.
    But the annoying Conway & co apologists will just blame you, as the owners can do no wrong of course!!. 😬

    Nancy lost 2-0 at home in front of Chien Lee .

    Safe to say his meeting with Killian and the rest of the Nancy Protest Group might be a tad difficult .

    If there is a meeting animal?

    They have managed to dodge our meetings on a frequent basis, or put up a stooge whose answer to the probing questions is ‘ that’s above my pay grade’

    FFS it’s a fecking European wide circus.

    Although its not funny, I had to laugh along with Luke when he was being sarcy about us wasting money on all that Lebones flatbread!. 😊
    Gallows humour though innit, how else are we meant to react to this situation.
    I think if Khaled is as genuine as hes trying to make out, then he probably won't be around for too long!.
