Where do we start

  • Possibly the most expensive ticket prices in the division either on Matchday or ST, hardly any walk up fans due to this
  • Terrible football, aging squad lots on big money (loads out of contract in the summer), players frozen out, manager not brought his own staff in, no style of play (unless you include poor)
  • 3rd on Xmas Day, fell off a cliff since then (5 points from 30, only win we've had was away @ Leeds)
  • Pending EFL charge hanging over us for putting the sale of the stadium in the wrong years accounts, most Wednesday fans are expecting anything from 9 to 21
  • Silence from the Chairman although he has been on the rides at Disneyland Tokyo recently so makes sense
  • Club seems rudderless, chairman admitted when he bought us he doesn't know a lot about football, but despite chucking his money at it he's made poor decisions running the club. No idea who takes the reigns on a day to day basis when he is out of the country.
  • Issues with stadium entry/exit from SAG/SYP/SCC meaning no home fans could exit onto Leppings Lane causing traffic flow measures on Penistone Road due to volume of people on that side of the stadium
On the plus side........no nothing at the minute.

I'm off to Birmingham tomorrow, I must be mad!!

As always it's the hope that kills you :)

Sounds like you have Ken Bates as chairman. Any decent restaurants near the stadium these days?

I agree I think in this day and age it would have been, but 1989 was a very different landscape as far as football fans were concerened.

Unfortunately m8 not being local I can't really help. My match days involves driving in, parking up, chippy, match, cry, drive home

I tend to street park on Saturdays and use Sainsbury's for midweek games via yourparkingspace.com as it's only £2.50, they don't have loads of spaces though so first come first served.

If owners are taking money out of the club, contact eufa, you will get a medal. Money in cop a ban.
Personally like both sheff clubs and often have a good chat on the train on my way up to matches, it is the Barnsley fans I cannot understand.
