Might have to take a loan out to see us against the massives and weeds away. Thank god Ipsbitch got relegated. Any more rip off merchants in that league. ?.
Had a little chuckle driving home from Bristol when we remembered Ipswich had moved season ticket holders to get all the Leeds fans in Presumably at close to £40 a ticket. Only for it to turn into a meaningless game which Leeds lost anyway. If Ipswich charge those prices next season there will be some low low away followings.
QPR, 33 quid a time no matter who the opposition, 38 on the day. Yet more people will pay 33-38 quid at a place we've not won at since the 50s than Millwall at 23-25 quid.
There's a strong possibility that Fletcher might not be there Jamo. Bruce is having a " cull" of his highest paid players. I' d already heard that keeper Westwood could be shown the door in the close season, plus they have already told winger George Boyd and striker Gary Hooper that they need to find a new Club. Four others have also been released, namely Almen Abdi, David Jones, Marco Matias and Czech full back Daniel Pudil. He's having to let players go, to attempt to bring some fresh faces in. I would think, although I have nothing to confirm my suspicions that's because Mr Chansiri has told him there's no brass in the kitty to enable him to sign anyone because as they have spent big in the past, they are in real danger of breaching the EFL's profitability and sustainability rules. I would be surprised if Chansiri doesn't sell the Club in the next 12-18 months. He must have friction burns having to dip in and out of his pockets for cash to give his various incumbent Manager(s). Be interesting to also seeing how long Bruce stays. He's a notorious spendthrift and won't relish being potless.
If they are under contract, they’ll struggle to “offload” those overpaid prima-donnas... I hope they can’t buy another player for ten years... it still seems as if Karma is hitting for them signing Sam the snake, not because they wanted him, but because they could.... lol
It's not all luck is it. We've been guilty of failing to take chances against them in the past and they've take their opportunities, simple. While we may have been the better side and had more possession, it counts for nothing if you can't put the ball in the back of the net.
Reach hit the ball into his standing foot and into the net at the last Hillsboro game. Complete freak of a goal that you’re never likely to see again. That’s just typical of how things go against us when we play them. Dodgy pen at Oakwell too. There’s been loads over the years.....
They are right. Nothing to worry themselves regarding Barnsley. Sheffield Wednesday will probably beat Barnsley next season home and away. They should do as each of their players is on 20k to 30k per week. They have never seen us as competitors - because they never see any other team as a competitor - other than Sheffield United that is. But the thing is - if our owners want to go toe to toe with their owner then there will on be one winner - and it ain’t the Chani guy. That is to say - Barnsley if they want to can buy and sell Wendy 10+ times over. Barnsley have a much bigger buying power. Barnsley is potentially a more powerful club. The Wendy fans wil absolutely hate to hear this.
I'm sorry Nudge the owners may be one of the richest in all British football but they will not break financial fair pay rules, And all I can say to that is GOOD.
I still wake up chuckling at that penalty they got at Oakwell about 10 year ago. Leon Clarke did a pirouhette, swung his leg to shoot, missed the ball completely, lost his balance and the referee had an aneurism, orgasmed, blew his whistle and pointed to the spot all before Clarke even hit the ground.
When are you going to get it into your head that the money our owners may or may not have isn’t Barnsley Football Club’s, and they are not going to spend huge amounts of their own money on the club?
The team that should be worried about us is Leeds if they don't go up. Happy hunting ground for us , the exact opposite the Wendy's.
Since the money came in its become more of a rarity at their place. Did well there in the 80s, but since they got back into the top flight it's changed. The 4-0 cup defeat was probably the worst defeat there, but they were a division higher and it was obvious. Just looked at soccerbase and we've won 1 from last 10 visits. Last one was under Keith Hill in 2011.
Ok troff. I didn’t know you had inside information. Can you disclose which director said they are not going to spend huge amounts on us? Comparative to other Championship clubs are they willing to spend moderate amounts? Or can’t you say?
Went to hillsbro religiously to watch the reds lose. Then one particular year we battered em, even after hecky got sent off, we battered em. Only threat they offered was Chris Brunt firing long range shots high and wide into the crowd. Then late in the game it fell to Brunt to the cries of shoot from many of us. He did and it flew into the fvcking net. Swore that day I would never set foot in that **** hole ever again, and I haven't.
