Happy birthday fellow Leo. I thought anyone that watched Emmerdale had to be over 70 already lol. Great joke about Hexit by the way - you've not lost it!

There are a number of fans, mainly elsewhere, who are seeking to throw a protective arm around El Ahmad saying "it's sorted", "move on", "stop the witch hunt" and similar. Nothing could be further from the truth. Those responsible need to be held to account

There is an orgy of self congratulation from the Supporters Trust Board members and praise from many that it was the Supporters Trust that brought down Hex. In fact it was ordinary fans, particularly the Rainbow Reds ( the Barnsley LGBTQ+ community fans) who complained about the abuse from Hexicans on Saturday evening on the Official Club Twitter Account. The Supporters Trust then began to speak on others behalf on Sunday morning raising the abuse and other issues.. It was confirmed on the Club Statement that it was the initial complaints from such as Rainbow Reds that they would investigate--

"Barnsley Football Club have become aware of discriminatory and abusive posts circulating on social media. The club stand firmly against all forms of abuse or discrimination and take these matters extremely seriously. Further comment will be issued once the posts have been thoroughly investigated."

This post is written just to add balance to the view that "it was the Supporters Trust wot won it"and they alone.

Correct SB .

I'd also like to add that the removal of Conway , Lee and Hung was done by empty plastic seats at Oakwell during the final third of the season and not done by the Supporters Trust or the present board .

If ST holders had turned up during the final third of last season nothing in my opinion would have changed .

The success of this football club is purely judged on its ability not to be funded by its ownership and very little to do with results .

As you know SB I was never a Pat Cryne man but I'll say this , under his ownership the current CEO would have gone Friday afternoon with his cards in his hand irrespective of a transfer window stil open .

Linton Brown was removed from his position in the middle of a transfer window in 2017 .

The club are doing Sterling work by giving £135 back to 135 fans. = £18225.
Proper reward for the thousands that renewed their tickets during the pandemic……A lot of folk paid season tickets, and never attended a game, A lot of multi ticket families supported the club to preserve their seats during a pandemic and got back….
free ifollow. And 4 flexi tickets.
This “Spend” during the pandemic probably meant the club kept going…..They paid for 18 months of not being able to attend
Free ifollow for all the family! All able to watch on one tv…….!,!

Some of these families who had multiple season tickets amongst them probably can’t afford their season tickets going forward now with what’s going on, and wouldn’t have had a chance to be in this seasons draw….

Call me a sceptic, but I wonder Wonder how many of the “favoured few” or ‘“Happy Clappers” have been selected as the lucky recipients of the £135… and wouldn’t that money have been better spent lowering the season tickets for all the ones that paid this season…..?


Just for info, we didn’t renew because of the cost.

A morning rant post for a change ! Lol

Nobody but nobody has to justify why they don't attend matches anymore unless they wish to .

People go to work and it's entirely up to them how they spend their money .

This club has no more right to fans revenue than a supermarket has for shopping .

The self righteous super fan club sycophant won't get far on this platform with me .

============================

This is untrue.

Two of the current new board members have explained how Dane Murphy informed them in August 2021 that the contract between Paul Conway & some of the shareholders Conway represented expired after 4 years which was December 2021, and that they immediately began working on securing these shares & working together to obtain a majority shareholding which is now the current board.

Fans staying away from matches achieved nothing other than help knock further the confidence of players who were already at rock bottom & the youngest squad in the championship. But what would you care? you wrote you couldn't care less if fans like you staying away led to the club going out of business "if the club dies it dies" you said, and all over a temporary blip in 135 years of ownership. So much for young Barnsley players like Marsh forging a career or young fans enjoying a lifetime of support like us older folk.

So don't insult fans with these fantasy stories to justify this crap take ownership of your own words & actions.

"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 ,

Shadrack asked the question (Post 95) "Would like to explain what you mean by that first sentence in your post Ponty ?

He does not appear to have received a response.
