    I think in those days if there was a colour clash in the league, then the home side wore their colours but in the cup they came to some compromise but I could be wrong . I thought that Man u played in all white with red trim but again I usually get things wrong , but we were definitely in blue .

    According to Grenville Firth's 1978 book, "Oakwell - The Official History of Barnsley Football Club", there were 38,163 (gate receipts £5,692) for our home 4th round 0-1 defeat v Blackburn in 1956. In the following year, 1957, we lost a 5th round tie at home to Nottingham Forest, in front of an "estimated" all-ticket crowd of 40,626. That was supposedly the number of tickets sold. I was present at the 5th round and 6th round ties in 1961. In the 5th round we beat Luton of Division Two by 1-0 in front of 32,923 (gate receipts £6604) and then lost a 6th round replay 1-2 at home to Leicester, who were then 7th in Division One, after extra time, following a 0-0 draw at Filbert Street, four days earlier. At that time we did not have floodlights at Oakwell (we actually acquired our first floodlights in the following year), which meant the match had to be played in the afternoon. In those days it was the norm for replays to take place in the week immediately following the first game, which meant there was insufficient time for the matches to be designated all-ticket. Despite the afternoon kick-off there were 39,250 (gate receipts £7727), with an estimated 10,000 locked out. I stood by the wall in the Paddock and could see some of those locked out on the hill near the Metrodome. You could see the penalty area in front of our current away end from that vantage point. The headmaster of Holgate Grammar School, J.W.Roche, known to all boys by his nickname of "Sag", was wise enough to declare a half-day holiday for that afternoon, in order to spare himself the task of caning several hundred lads for skiving off school.

    Yep, I think the game you mention is our record attendance. 1936 I think it was.

    If I remember correctly the Reds v Everton game was the highest attendance at any ground that day. It was disappointing that we lost.
    I was at the Manchester United game in 1964, as a school boy. I had an interview for a job at "Foxes" in Stocksbridge in the morning and then on to Barnsley to watch the match in the afternoon. It was one of George Bests early game for United. As always we were unlucky, just the 4 - 0 defeat, but brilliant to watch Law, Best and Charlton up front.
    I missed the Leicester City replay in 1961 having gone to the first game at Filbert Street. We did not have floodlights in those days so all the replays were midweek afternoon kick off. The school would not let us have time off to go. It was so busy after the game that it took my parents hours to get back to Elsecar and my dad only just made the night shift at the pit. It would not have needed a reply had it not been for a wonder save by some goalie called Gordon Banks from I think Bert Tindal's (the Kieffer Moore of the day) shot in the last few minutes. I can still see the shot and save in my mind today.

    I was at that game with my dad, and I think that's where we used to stand (corner of the Ponty next to the West stand). Not sure but I think I can see my dad but not me.

    I was next to the first aid dug out under the West Stand near to Kop. That cup run was the start of my association with Barnsley. I attended every game of the cup run that season. Attendance 38076 receipts just over £9000, a record at the time.
