    ‘I’m not renewing unless they sack the bloke who’s managed us to 5th in the league’ is such a strange one for me to fathom.

    Get behind them. Through thick & thin & all that.

    I don't think it does personally.

    If I'm running a business, and a vocal minority is hurling abuse at a member of my staff for doing his job (albeit one who's suffered a dip in productivity), I'd be more inclined to engage with them in a positive manner, rather than getting rid of that employee on a whim.

    CAVEAT: I know it's not a business as such, but it's how we're run these days. I don't really like it either.

    Btw, it's been a good discussion over the last 24 hours or so.

    Great decision and the correct one.

    Not saying it's a bad thing I'm not renewing no matter how long they extend but for me it makes it crystal clear why Collins went,the up take must have been really poor.

    Thought this might happen - especially as someone said the website was busy when they tried logging in

    That doesn't mean a great deal. I've looked at our ticketing website randomly at times when I must have been the only one the Barnsley FC ticket site such as at about 2am on a Thursday morning in February and it's come up with the same message about 3 quarters of the time. I can only assume that it's the Ticketmaster servers in general that are busy not the Barnsley section.

    And in case you were wondering it's because I built a replica of oakwell on Minecraft with the exact number of seats in each stand so had to visit a lot to check.

    Yes I know I'm sad.

    Even worse is I lost it.

    A lot of traffic to one site can slow it down and also few on these threads and social media have said they have renewed since he's gone

    Clearly AI generated, our fans are well uglier than that.

    Surely.its better for the club if they can get more people in? You may have parted with you money a little earlier but you'd have still spent it either way.
    Not knocking you at all just seems a odd thing to be disappointed about.

    I can't decide if that's genius or madness. Impressive either way.

    Did you use moss covered bricks for the interior walls of the West Stand bogs?

    I can't remember what I used for the west stand bogs at all :D

    It started because I built myself a big house etc and thought I'd build a gym in the back 'garden' so I made a crude basketball court and football pitch then tried to improve them to a decentish standard with some basic stands then I randomly got the urge to go for it and built an almost perfect oakwell. Did one with the west in place and then made a second (copied and pasted) stadium which I changed to make my idea oakwell with corners all filled in etc. took a lot of hours

    I can imagine! But there's something therapeutic about tinkering away on Minecraft. I mean, it's utterly pointless, yet at the same time a nice way to pass the time. I quite like it.
