YN - What really grates on me is that when ever we build anything to get behind, we sell up and have to start again, there is no concept of building on success because anything successful is gone is a flash. I'm still bitter about the Hourahane / Roberts / Mawson / Watkins and co .. team that got us promoted in 2016 then were cashed in. We followed that up with another side that the same thing happened. The new owners promised that we would be able to retain talent and grow organically. Sounded good but we know what the truth was now. I just cannot see what there is to get excited about if we find a striker that puts 6 goals in before XMAS he will be gone in January along with the manager.
It not only grates you - it grates anyone who thinks more deeply about Barnsley other than what is served up on the field.

We have a town that is football mad - and yet in my lifetime of watching Barnsley we have never ever had what anyone could describe as a prolonged period of success.
So no matter how frustrating and annoying it may be - is there any wonder a large proportion of Barnsley folk have chosen to support football clubs in Sheffield and Leeds.

The potential of Barnsley Football Club has never been realised.
And because of that many people that surround the club have tended to think small.
Think small - and you will always be small.
