Ideal starting XI ?

[Acido]

That has been suggested on here before Nudger, whether our club could try and tap into the market in this part of West Yorkshire (but I think this subject is for another thread to be honest)

However I will admit it annoys me so much when I see people in Wakey & Cas & Ponty & Normy for example, wearing ManUre or Liverpool or Chelski or Ar*senal shirts.
Wearing Leeds or the Sheffield clubs shirts is acceptable as its a Yorkie thing, but not when its teams from all around the country.

To be honest - I ain’t got much problems regarding Man U, Liverpool, Chelsea and now Man City shirts - because basically they are very rarely football supporters - they usually don’t go to games - they just want to be associated with some sort of success - which IMO is an indication of how humdrum and downtrodden their little lives are.
On top of that - those shirts can be seen in any town throughout England.

That’s not the same as wearing Leeds and the Sheffield club shirts in Barnsley - especially when those wearing those shirts have no connection to the city club they are supporting.
These are deserters of their own community.
And why wear such a shirt while shopping around Barnsley - is it to try and portray that they are superior to others in Barnsley.
That is to say - they know they are from Barnsley but are ashamed to admit it.
What’s going on in their tiny little minds

Just to let you know Nudger I was born in Rossington,Doncaster,went to school in Rossington and Wath-on-Dearness and now live in Sprotbrough,Doncaster so am I a deserter from Doncaster? And by the way my brother played for Doncaster Rovers and Walsall.

Yes - you should always support your local club - because it’s not just about football - a successful football club has a positive impact on the community.

For example - when Sheffield United last got promotion to the Premier - the impact of that saw £££millions pour into Sheffield City creating countless number of jobs in that city.
BBC Radio Sheffield were reporting this at the time.
So then - a guy from Barnsley with 3 kids that are wanting jobs - but he supports Sheffield United has assisted in a small way of creating jobs in the middle of Sheffield - but not where he lives in Barnsley.

There are literally 1000s upon 1000s of guys like this living in Barnsley that have no connection whatsoever with Leeds or the Sheffield clubs but choose to support those clubs.
IMO - that’s wrong. They should support their local club and by doing so support their local community.

In saying that - the Barnsley District is immediately surrounded by other large towns and cities. Some of the people living in places on the edges of these towns and cities see Barnsley as their local town.

For example - my mother is from Brampton and went to the catholic school in Wath - her family and people around there see Barnsley as their local town.
If they say they are going into town - they mean Barnsley even though they live in the Rotherham District.
You can buy the Barnsley Chronicle in newsagents in Wath.

This applies to other places such as Stocksbridge, Denby Dale, Hemsworth, South Kirkby etc etc.

As for people from Rossington now living in Sprotborough (posh) they should support Donny.
I have a cousin - born in the same bed as me in the Dearne Valley - but from an early age lived in High Melton and now Cadeby - who is a Sheffield United fan - I say to him he should support Doncaster where he was brought up.

Hi there,

New to the forum and a new but passionate Barnsley fan from America. Thinking about this team a month from now gets me so excited - could this starting XI make a strong run at the playoff? What would you change?

Brad

Vita
Andersen
Helik
Brittain

Styles
Gomes
Benson

ALI
Woody
Morris


Immediately, our bench becomes very strong with the likes of Kitching, Sibbick, Palmer, Freiser, Obbi, etc as well.

Is this squad promotable? Does Obbi crack the starting XI? Where does Woody fit into our long term plans now that we have a bevy of strikers?

Unsure for these questions, but excitement remains for the future of this team. Let's hold steady for the next few weeks until we're fully healthy/fully fit, then I could see this team being A LOT of fun to watch. Cmon you Reds!!!!

Welcome,its great to have a supporter from the USA and would be even better if you could come over to Barnsley sometime but don’t make it too far in the future I am getting very close to my 82nd birthday.Did you know there is a small town or village in the USA called Barnsley? I forget just where it is but there was a coalmine there so it could have been coal miners from our Barnsley that started it off.

Not a bad idea when you think about it, maybe Dave Cherry could sell them for me in his butchers shop near a certain raandabaart.
