"store of jam" a small garden business based in Wakefield , are proud to be partners of Barnsley FC , without being being disrespectful to them , shouldn't the Head of Marketing be looking at bringing much larger deals /sponsor's etc ? All this collective wealth and contact's ? and yet it appears nobody wants to get involved with BFC the "brand" It doesn't take an expert to see where money is being drained away ( mainly off field ) a CEO 150k pa , 2 lazy never play Belgians reportedly on 7k pw ? That's one hell of an amount of money seeping out of the Club , and no doubt there will be much more we don't even know about ,
I am actually a reight fan Ponty and I'll tell you why .
I've still enough interest to actually watch the games , I don't have to , there's not one single game on a Saturday afternoon or midweek that I can't watch , not one .
I've still enough interest to contribute to this board every day and talk incessantly about all things BFC at work , in the pub and at home with my partner .
The wins make me happy and the defeats hurt .
I also get very angry when things aren't done right at the club , in other words I care and if I care then I'm still a fan .
What I actually am is a very poor consumer and customer and given almost every football club now considers everyone to be nothing more than consumers and customers your words have very little actual meaning .
I'm a poor consumer and customer because the ownership at this club seek to profit at a point in the future without investing their own personal funds in to the club .
So given the club considers me to be no more than a consumer and a customer I have a fundamental right to withdraw from remaining a consumer or a customer and in business the customer is always right .
The only person who can remove my fan status is myself by not having any interest in Barnsley Football Club what so ever .
The only fantasy is that you believe those in high positions on Grove Street actually care about you .
They don't , they care about how much money they can extract from you so that they don't have to use their own money to somehow extract a profit in the future .
The only reason they acted on Lee , Hung and Conway was because there was a great threat emerging that the club's financial position with fans not attending and likely not to renew ST's this season meant they would have to make up the shortfall from their own pockets or place the club in administration .
Nobody but nobody lifted a finger last summer with the way Conway was trashing the club , not a peep .
I don't know if any monies were paid by Hex to BFC , some saying they paid up front ?, they do however seem to have brought attention to themselves good or bad in the media , is this what they wanted ? there is even a column in the Football League Paper about it and also showing a photo of Luke Thomas wearing their Logo ,
